It’s been two years since the legendary Roger Federer retired from professional tennis. Last seen in Thailand, let’s see what Roger Federer was up to on his recent visit to Bangkok.
After about five months of no updates, fans were ecstatic to see the former tennis star posting about his life again. After all, even if we may not see him on the court again again, he is the tennis star many grew up cheering for in the living room by the television. As Roger Federer posts his updates in Thailand, maybe you’ll want to explore the kingdom by following his steps again as well.
From floating markets to fine dining: What did Roger Federer get up to in Thailand?
On his Instagram post with the caption “Floating through Thailand,” Roger Federer is shown to be in one of Thailand’s acclaimed destinations: the floating market. Floating markets are filled to the brim with great street food with reasonable prices, souvenirs, and refreshing juices — as pictured in one of his photos. Of course, the experience wouldn’t be complete without a quick trip down the waterway in a traditional hat. Roger Federer made sure he did not miss out on this.
Apart from that, he also posted a photo of a plate of mango sticky rice. It’s a dessert that has rapidly come to be something everyone should try, so much so that a lot of cocktail bars in Bangkok have turned the dessert into drink form, rapper and singer MILLI ate it on stage at Coachella, and many are calling it one of Thailand’s soft powers.
In another post, Roger Federer is seen on a tuk-tuk being driven around town. The video is aptly captioned: “Fast and Furious, Tuk-Tuk Edition.”
Apart from his own social media posts, the athlete was also spotted by fans at The St. Regis Bangkok, Banyan Tree Bangkok, Poomjai Garden, and practicing tennis in an unnamed field in Bangkok.
Fans have been elated at the sight of Roger Federer in Thailand, with comments welcoming him to the country, talking about the bountiful F&B scene, and expressing their happiness considering that the star hasn’t posted for five months. Thai tennis star Paradorn Srichaphan also expressed his welcome, urging for both to catch up. Keep an eye on this space for an update on this.
