What really impresses me is how much you hear about Thailand and how much hype it gets and you’re still not disappointed. I fully expected to dislike Thailand simply because I had heard so much about it and had been bombarded with images on blogs, in movies and in pop culture.
It’s the one place in the developing/emerging world that has maintained its own sense of self as it modernized. Says something special about a place and it’s no wonder so many different types of travelers are attracted to visit.
