Dear Chiang Mai friends — expats, travelers, nomads, and kind souls passing through,
We live in a world that constantly tells us what to value:
Looks. Success. Status. Lifestyle.
We’re taught — often unconsciously — that attraction should be instant,
that financial stability equals security,
and that prestige somehow reflects worth.
But many of us have felt the quiet cost.
Have you ever chosen someone who looked right on paper…
but felt emotionally distant?
Have you noticed how attraction can fade,
status can impress others but not nourish you,
and money alone can’t create intimacy or safety?
This meetup is a thought-provoking, heart-centered gathering for those who feel there must be more than image, achievement, and appearances — and are curious enough to explore it together.
This is not a dating event.
Not a lecture.
Not a place to impress or perform.
It’s a space to slow down, reflect, and have real conversations about what we’re actually choosing — and why.
Together, we’ll gently explore:

• Why physical attraction, money, and prestige hold such power
• What emotional needs we try to meet through them
• The difference between surface-level bonds and deep connection
• What we may be sacrificing when we ignore authenticity

There are no right or wrong answers.
No fixing. No judgment.
Just honest stories, deep listening, and meaningful dialogue.
You’re welcome to listen, share, question, or simply be present.
Whether you’re passing through Chiang Mai or building a life here,
this space is for anyone longing for connection that feels real, grounded, and human.
