Areas Visited: Northwest area from Chaing Mai, Southern islands around Phuket. (2002)

Thailand is a friendly country that can often feel like it’s over-run with tourists. It is very accessible to tourism and very easy to get around speaking English. The best food I’ve ever eaten was in Thailand.

The country is very hot and humid with a rainy season. Be prepared to sweat.

I recommend visiting Thailand for the wonderful food, its rich culture, to see the elephants and enjoy the island beaches.
