🌸 Achievement 1: Greetings from Phuket 🏝️ Thailand 🇹🇭

🌸 Hello Steemit! My Reintroduction and New Adventures 🌴

Hello everyone! Even though I'm not entirely new to Steemit (I originally created my account back in April 2018), I've had a long hiatus, as I mentioned in my post Rediscovering Steemit 🌸 My Return and Adventures in Phuket 🌴🌅. I'm writing this reintroduction post to make my Steem Community - Achievement 1 and in response to a request from @travelingsteem of the Traveling Steem community in a comment, but also for @visionaer3003 and @theentertainer, from the Camping Club Steemit community, who I think will also be interested.

Back in the day, I discovered Steemit through its small Thai community. As you can see on the cover of this post (the 2018 photo), I even had a "Thai Community Steem" t-shirt! I must still have it somewhere in one of my drawers. However, at that time, the community module wasn't developed yet, so we were using the #thai tag to gather posts.

A Little About Me 🌸

My name is Boua 🪷, which means lotus flower in Thai and my Steem account is @baiboua.
I'm originally from the Tak province ⛰️ Thailand 🇹🇭, located on the border with Myanmar, but I now live for more than 10 years on the beautiful island of Phuket 🏝️ Thailand 🇹🇭.
When I was younger, I ran an internet café ☕🖥️ in my province that was very popular among local children. At that time, having a gaming computer at home was quite rare, so my café became a go-to spot for gaming and socializing! Now I'm simply enjoying life in Phuket, my main job being raising my youngest.
I'm married and have two children: my eldest lives just 30 minutes away and works for a tourist attraction, and my younger one is in Grade 7.
I also have two cats—Snow, a Scottish Fold 🐾, and Salmon, a Thai/Persian mix 🐈. They're both 3 years old now.

Here are my two lovely cats! 😻

What I Plan to Share on Steemit 🌴

On Steemit, I want to share my passions, starting with my beloved island of Phuket. I'll be taking you on a journey to discover its breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, fascinating history, and countless hidden gems—whether it's amazing local food spots, places to relax, or wonderful destinations to get pampered in. There’s so much to explore here!

Additionally, I’ll be sharing my travels, both within Thailand and abroad, including places like Japan.

Starting My Steemit Journey with a Boost 💰

To start off on the right foot, I recently purchased 1,500 STEEM on Probit, as mentioned in my post 🌴Rediscovering Steemit 🌸 My first week with my 1,500 SP 💰. I’ve been exploring different communities on Steemit to find those that resonate with who I am and what I want to share. So far, I’ve found a home in Camping Club Steemit, which has welcomed me warmly, and Steem-Pet-Lovers, although I’m still getting a feel for it with my love for cats. I also found Traveling Steem for my passion for travel.

If you know of any other communities that might suit me, feel free to suggest them in the comments. I’d love to connect with more like-minded people on Steemit!

See you soon for a new adventure!

Feel free to follow me and drop a comment — I’d love to hear from you. 🌸

Sawadee kha! 🙏
