Bangkok is more than a city—it’s a state of mind.
In Wai Bangkok, Bhuban Patra captures the lives of those who find themselves caught between cultures, choices, and change.
Set across seven intimate stories, this collection explores the hidden corners of the city where expatriates, locals, and wanderers intersect. From the loneliness of rented condos to the chaos of night markets, from small cultural missteps to moments of quiet revelation, each story uncovers what it truly means to belong.
Here, Bangkok isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a silent character, shaping the destinies of everyone who passes through.
Candid, tender, and deeply human, Wai Bangkok is both a love letter to the city and a reflection on how travel, displacement, and connection can transform who we are.

Bhuban Patra
Bhuban Patra is an author by choice and a traveller by heart.
Born in Balasore and raised in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, Bhuban discovered his passion for storytelling through his explorations across the region. What began as a blog documenting the forgotten monuments, rich heritage, and untold stories of Odisha soon evolved into a deeper creative journey. His spontaneous photography and keen cultural sensibilities led him from the trails of history to the realms of fiction.
His debut novels, Lotus Land (Fiction) and Where is Ekamra (Non-Fiction), were widely appreciated for their emotional depth and narrative sensitivity. Lotus Land was shortlisted among the Top 5 for the Cover Prize Award by Oxford Bookstore, while Where is Ekamra was recognised among the Top 100 Debut Novels of 2019.
