Thailand aka Toutsland
I am disapointed. There’s such a good potential in this country…
I went only to three places in Thailand: First, Ko Lanta. It was a really adorable place to rest for a few days, i felt lucky thought, the place was filled with touristic shops but because of the low season, most of them were closed so the ambiance was relaxed, the local people were pretty nice, also I had a good time motorbiking around the island.
Then I went to Ko Tao mainly to dive as I said in my last note. As for the ambiance and the feeling, the perenthians islands in Indonesia were way way much nicer, Ko Tao and the islands around are massively touristy, alright the beach was huge and splendid but it’s clearly not enough.
Last one, Bangkok… The toutsland master school” is not my thing, neither are bargaining all the time or overexpensive taxis. Thing is I would have a tendency to say that Thai people are a bunch of “any bad words could fit here” but, real problem is good Thai don’t deal with tourists, so we just don’t see them… Anyway, because of that I’ve been bored of Thailand quite fast so I’m actually changing my travel plans.
