Thailand Round-Up
52 Bahts to the £
Average Temperature 90
Average Price of a Beer: £2
Time Difference: +7 Hours
We had both been to Thailand before so knew what to expect. We didn't cover as much time as we had planned, cutting it short so that we could fit in Laos too (rude not to being so close). But it did hold a few surprises with the stunning scenery and landscapes of Khao Sok.
Thailand is just so easy, you can see why its the most travelled route. The infrastructure is totally geared up for tourists, getting you from a island to island, mainland to Island, beach to Jungle, North, to South and bordering countries. The food is amazing, the currency easy to get your head around and generally most people speak English. Unfortunately though due to this Thailand has lost some of its soul. If you want to absorb yourself in culture and custom its probably not the best place to come, if you want to take some time out from hard nosed traveling and just have a bit of holiday, its for you.
Stand out moments:
