11 Reasons Why I Love Thailand
I was more than I can count already in Thailand. I have lived in Bangkok twice, and if I stay away for more than a year, I feel as if a part of me is missing. It is 18 months since I was last here, and my excitement percolating during a hot summer Bangkok like sweat.
People often ask me why I have to places I go somewhere, rather than exploring new visits. Well, that's a simple answer: It's because I feel connected to them. I feel like home when I have company. And Thailand is probably the only place outside the United States, where most of all I feel at home.
And why I love Thailand so much? Well, here are 11 reasons why Thailand is one of the best countries in the world to visit (and tips on how you can also visit):
The delicious food
[1945006
When people say that they love Thai food, but not yet been to Thailand, I can not help but think: "You've never really experienced Thai food." Thai food in Thailand is leagues better than anywhere else in the world. There is more variety and more flavors. Her mouth dancing with taste when you eat here. The food has kick it. I always order mai pet , the "not spicy" because of Thai standards means that only one chilli means. Anything more than that, and I look like I'm about to fall over and die. (I have a low tolerance for spicy food.) Can be found everywhere on the streets of Thailand, accounts receivable, the cheapest and best Thai meals you serve. And no matter what time of day it is, there is always something to eat somewhere available.
In addition, there are in the country a lot of tasty international food. Thailand is a very international place thanks to the hordes of tourists and expats all over the country. Some of my favorite sushi restaurants are in Bangkok and find amazing halal and indian food in downtown Sukhumvit. And surprisingly, you are also many Mexican find - Señor Pico is the best Mexican outside of North America
Thailand is a wet dream gourmet
The warm weather [
I love the sun much (much to my mother's dismay and my dermatologist). I think shoveling after snow in Boston for the vast majority of my life, I will be attracted in the sun, because in the tropics, no snow is to shovel. Even if it is in Thailand a monsoon, I love the heat, and the fact that I like it in Thailand is always hot and humid. It's never Weather Jacket and I can always wear a T-shirt and shorts.
(OK, that's not quite right. In January I wear a jacket. It to 20 ° C rather close you come here. Always say the expats from the tourists in Bangkok can because the expats wearing those Sweaters and jackets in January are. I once had a friend visit me, and I refused to turn on the a / C in my apartment. It was too cold for it!)
the friendly locals
Thais are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They are always happy, always smiling, very polite and always helpful. They will help you when you are in trouble and help translate for you if you can not speak Thai. They treat you well, and when I come back at the local shopkeepers whose shops I often greet me with a warm smile and big hug. Thais have amazing memories - once a friend, always a friend. I am always safe in Thailand feel. Thais rarely steal or cause trouble. Thailand is one of the few countries that I feel comfortable leaving my laptop while I go to the bathroom.
It's perfect for travel
Thailand is smack-dab in the middle of everything. It is three hours Hong Kong two hours Singapore four hours Bali, and halfway between Australia and Europe. You can easily get from Thailand to many places that is really appealing for a traveler like me. And you can get cheap to many of these objectives. I am tomorrow for four days to Singapore heading, and it cost me only return trip to Tiger Airways $ 0 USD. Not a bad deal and not a bad way the weekend.
to spend the postcard-perfect tropical islands
I love the beach. I can sit on the sand and a swim go on for hours on end. It's heaven for me. (See above and my love of warm weather.) While Thailand has been developed for years and many of the best beaches are ruined by uncontrolled development, you can find still some untouched, picturesque islands and beaches around the country. I especially love Koh Chang, Koh Kood, Surin Iceland, Ko Adang and Ko Lanta. The best islands to the south near the border with Malaysia. They all look like the image above, and a place like this is simply a paradise for me.
The lush jungle
As much as I sit to enjoy on the beach, I love to walk by the jungle, and Thailand, some of the most beautiful and lush ones I have ever seen. here very easily out of the jungle and elephant in Khao Yai National Park, to the famous lake of Khao Sok in the south, to the famous jungle and hill tribe trek near Chiang Mai, you can get to fix your tropical jungle. You may not wild and untamed jungles of some places in Borneo or in the middle of Africa, but they still offer amazing views, dense forests, waterfalls to cool off, and an interesting variety of wildlife.
The international environment
Thailand is a country where you can get a local or foreign, as you like. Because of all the tourists and expats who live here, the land is very cosmopolitan and international. There are global food chains, international restaurants and shops, Starbucks, and Hollywood movies. Thailand is a melting pot of people, and you will find people from all over the world. I have friends here from France, Germany, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Israel, made just to name a few.
Thailand comfortable is
Thailand is comfortable. Hungry at 3:30 PM? There is someone to foods for sale. Need to take a bus to Vietnam? This can be easily arranged. Need some strange hour to go shopping? There is to open a shop. Pharmacy at 2:00? Do you have this. Thailand is an easy to live and move in. And in Bangkok, you never have to wait for a taxi.
The beautiful people
Let's be real - Thais are pretty good look. There is a reason why so many people come here and marry Thais. You are fucking hot. It's nice to go to a country where everyone is handsome. The women here are simply stunning, with beautiful skin and exotic looks. All have dated my friends Thai girls.
Bangkok
I hated Bangkok the first few times I traveled there. It was not until I moved there, that I fell in love with her. Bangkok, it turns out, is an easy city to live. There is much to do, many events, great bars and great food (see above), and it is easy to get around (except during rush hour). I love cities where there is always something to do. No matter what time of day or day of the week, you can always find something to do in Bangkok. How New York, Bangkok is a city that never sleeps.
It's cheap!
Thailand is cheap to visit and live cheaply. Yesterday I spent $ 4 USD for all my food for the day, including some drinks and snacks. Most food from the street vendors costs $ 1. I can for $ 15-20 USD a private room for $ 10 per night or a bungalow just off the beach. An apartment in downtown Bangkok will cost $ 300 per month, and it is still larger than what I need. Thailand simply offers incredible value for your money. A few years back, I told my friend that after one month to the islands bouncing, I had spent about 40,000 baht ($ 1.400 USD). He was shocked! "How the hell could so much money in a month to spend!" He cried. Thailand is a country so cheap, $ 1400 a lot of money is considered. I paid twice as high in New York City in the rent.
When people ask me what my favorite country, I always say Thailand. Although I wonder how you can select a favorite country. Everyone is amazing in its own right. No country is really better than the other, just different. However, Thailand has a special place in my heart. We have a long history together. I will always return to this country. I love it here too much.
