Out of the 5 big trips I took since I've been here, I must say Thailand is high up there in the rankings. We've seen pictures of this beautiful country filled with plenty of beaches and palm trees, and curries and mangoes with sticky rice. Yes, I definitely enjoyed eating dollar meals (delicious $1 meals) and getting $7 massages...but I think the main reason Thailand is such a special place for me is because of people's genuine kindness. I was positively overwhelmed with how AMABLE everyone is. Even our Tuk-Tuk driver/scammer was nice! It was hard to get mad at him for taking us for a ride (literally).I was in Bangkok for an Educators conference and then took off with Adam, a coworker of mine, to the islands. After 4 days of workshops in busy Bangkok, we decided to get away to Ko Phangan, a lovely, tranquil, white sand place. Again people were friendly, the food was amazing (yummy pineapple), and hundreds of free Thai smiles:) My Thai buddy here to the right & up ------> is no exception!
For those who haven't been, I recommend you go. Your mind will be at ease, your face will naturally glow with smiles and your body will love you for the awesome massages. For those of you who have been, it's time to go back. When you book your trip, let me know...I would be more than glad and willing to join!
khob-kun-Ka (THANK YOU)
