Summary Of Thailand

Our last leg of Asia is now complete as we have safely moved our way to Amsterdam. We were sad to leave Asia however excited to see friends and family in Europe!

-The food in Thailand is second to none anywhere we have been. Fresh, Sweet, Spicy, Sour, Salty, a little bit of everything. Very affordable as well.

-We found 1 month in Thailand to be a great length of visit, however we only covered about 1/3 of the country. If you wanted to see it all you would need 3 months at least.

-The main tourist season in from Dec – Apr so arriving in May was perfect for good prices on accommodation. The downside being some of the people involved in the tourist industry were slightly “tourist fatigued” by May. As we moved off the main tourist paths, the people were exceptionally friendly and hospitable.

-The downside of May is free sweat baths everyday; 85% humidity and 32-38 C is a mighty warm combination!
