No way we would have spent another cold Christmas again. This year it had to be different: hot and beautiful, to close 2014 with recharged energy.
The turkey was substituted for curry and our coats and scarves for swimsuits. No other destination could be better suited for this than Thailand.
It was my first time in Asia but definitely not the last one.
Thailand is a big country with around 500.000km2 which makes it impossible to visit during a 10 day trip only. However, it was enough time to realise of several things such as:
- The wealth divide within the country.
- Their liking for colours and shiny things.
- The happiness of the Thai people always glad to help
- The miserliness of the Western tourists, trying to avoid paying even 100 Bhats(not even £2) without thinking of the value for us and the value for them.
- Thailand offers better internet signal than Europe. You have signal in the middle of the sea.
- The great facilities of the country to receive and assist their tourists.
GOOD MEMORIES
We were invited to spend New Year’s eve with the owners of our hostel, their friends and other guests. At 23.30 I said, that this would be my first time to pass the year without eating my grapes (a Spanish tradition).
Promptly, they run to the nearest supermarket to buy them for me!
BAD MEMORY
Some of the tuc-tuc drivers are completely crazy. I have never been so scared!
