Thailand is my favorite place in the whole world (so far) ! There's so much to do from the crazy, bustling city of Bangkok to the beautiful, mountainous north of the country to the islands in the south that are straight out of a postcard with the bluest water I've ever seen. It's like 3 vacations in one. I've been to Thailand twice even though I rarely repeat travel spots. It's ridiculously cheap and the people are very kind. Except for that cab driver who tried to rip me off and then involved the Thai police......thankfully the Thai police realized he was a "mean man" and helped us out! Yay! No thai prison for me!
When in Bangkok:
Visit the Grand Palace
Eat the street food!!!!
Get lost in Chinatown!
Chinatown is one of Bangkok's oldest neighborhoods. The mazes sell everything from toys, stationary, clothing, housewares and of course, food! Wander around for hours and get lost. Don't worry, there's always a tuk tuk that will take you where you need to get back to ;)
Visit the temples along the way
Not all temples are are tourist filled as the Grand Palace. As you stroll through the city you'll see temples everywhere. Some of the more serene, peaceful temples can be found totally by accident. Don't be shy to walk in and listen to the monks chat or say a prayer yourself.
Nat and I in Thailand 2007
Take a ride on the water taxi!!!
Pay the 15 baht and hop on with no particular destination. Bangkok is best seen from the water and who knows where you'll end up!
Thailand Part 2 Coming soon.....
