Thailand - the land of smiles

Early morning in Wat Suthat
Hi

I have been on two great vacations to Thailand with my wife. The first time we went there was in September 1998. We had some days in Bangkok, some days in Phuket and then some days on Koh Samui.

The next trip was in September 2002 and this time we stayed a bit longer in Bangkok and then we tried out Krabi (Ao Nang) and Hua Hin.

I have written a couple of long travelogues from the trips and they are posted on this page.

Pros:"Cheap, friendly people, great food, nice and warm weather, great snorkling"
Cons:"Many tourists, people trying to sell you stuff all the time, bight sun, tuk-tuk drivers"
In A Nutshell:"I love Thailand. I think the people are nice, the atmosphere is great and the food is great :-)"

Comments for Gard about Bangkok

 SHORTS! Thais are actually very formal dressers, and shorts in a fashionable bar is a bit naff. Bangkok is a working city, not a beach resort.
