Thailand is one of the most popular destinations in the world for tourists aged 18 – 30. Many of these tourists do not attempt to learn the local language even a little bit, but they would be surprised at the wonderful reception that even badly-spoken Thai will get. Many of the local people, particularly in the big cities, are used to the English language and will be wonderfully surprised if you try to communicate in their native language of Thai.Thailand itself is a gorgeous country, which is really geared up towards tourism. You can ride elephants, take trekking tours, party on the beaches or explore the cities, which are a wonderfully crazy mix of modern buildings and old traditions. One of the most respectful things you can do when visiting a country is to learn the language and learning the Thai language is no different.
