| We were inivited by my parents to join them and my two sisters to Thailand in July 2007 for a three week holiday. I had never been to Asia before and I was of course curious what it would be like. We'd heard all kind of good stories about Thailand so we had quite high expectations. Luckily, we were not disappointed. We now understand why it is the single most polupar holiday destination in Asia. The combination of delicious food, good weather, very genuinly friendly people, good accomodation, and beautiful natural and cultural sights, make it a wonderful destionation. In addition, everthing is still very cheap (at least compared to European standards) and the infrasturcture is also very good, allowing you to explore most of the country fairly easily. Although we all have our own prefences of how to spend our holidays, in every place we visited there were enough things to do that suited everybodies needs. We travelled independently by local public transport without any problems. During these three weeks we were able to visit only the major highlights: Bangkok, Chiang Mai and surroundings in the north, Old Siam apital Sukhothai, Khao Yai National Park and Koh Samui in the south. |
