Per Chat GPT, this is what Anthony Bourdain would say about this story:
"If there's one thing my travels taught me, it's that the most profound moments often unfold in the simplest of settings. A chance encounter with two Thai women in Phi Phi islands reminded me that, in a world obsessed with material pursuits, true happiness knows no borders. Over a sidewalk dinner of green curry crab, amidst stories of their humble lives, I found a richness of spirit that defied any measure of wealth. These women, far from home, embraced me with a warmth that transcended language and culture. It was a stark reminder that in the pursuit of dreams and desires, we often overlook the beauty of life's uncomplicated joys. In their presence, I discovered that kindness and love need no grand stage – they flourish in the simplicity of shared moments." - Anthony Bourdain
