"Same Same But Different"

It seemed like that was the motto for Thailand. I even bought my souvenir tank top accordingly.



I spent 11 days in Thailand. It was the best money I've ever spent. I landed in Bangkok and did a big loop around the Northern area through 5 cities. Then hopped a flight down to Ko Samui only to return to Bangkok 2 days later before flying to Shanghai, China. I did countless temple visits, took a day trip to Burma and Laos, visited an elephant conservation center and hospital, went zip lining and kayaking and of course lounged on the white sands of Chaweng Beach.

I have so much respect for this country and its people. It's amazing how happy and friendly people are in such a developing country. It's poor in currency but so rich in culture. Not to mention their absolute devotion to their King and their way of life.
