Thailand: The City of Angels

Thailand is my first choice to visit overseas and I have no regrets about it... except for some stupid experiences for the first time travelers, haha!

There are lots of places to explore in this country due its large territorial size.
The Thais are kind and easy to converse with… but there are also a few people that will take advantage of tourists.
My advice: always be cautious and make sure that you know your itinerary before traveling.
I had some bad experiences during my visit here but that’s just part of traveling.
I still had great times discovering this state and I’m still coming back to discover more of Thailand.

Pros and Cons

Pros:friendly people
Cons:beware of gem scams
In a nutshell:Thailand: experience the royalty
