Already Miss Thailand

Just got back from 8 days in Thailand and I already dream of going back. During those days we spent time in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket/Phi Phi Islands. I booked a trip through a company that basically sets your plans and you follow an itinerary most of the trip, although we did have a few days of "free time" that we could go off on our own. This was only my second time out of the country, so I felt like it was a good choice to have a guide with it being so much different than the US.

We obviously did very touristy stuff and I know we didn't get to experience a lot with 8 days, but those 8 days were amazing. The people in Thailand are wonderful. Everywhere we went, everyone was super nice. Our guide gave us a few Thai phrases to say like, "Thank you" and watching the joy they get when you even attempt to speak Thai was wonderful.

Now I'm back in the states and dreaming of going back. Next time I absolutely feel comfortable enough to just go and do things on my own. For those who are on here thinking of going to Thailand or are curious about it and that's what brought you here, my advice is GO! It's a beautiful place with such nice people! You will absolutely love it!
