ไม่มีอะไรสายเกินแก้
It is never too late to mend.
– A Thai Proverb
How do I even describe my love for Thailand? Most of my travel experience has been to Europe and Latin America. And then there is Thailand. I can’t express how grateful I am for the opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Thailand on a school trip. I saw everything Thailand has to offer and experiences the amazing food, people, and culture. There is a lot of backwards ideas about places in Asia, but I promise I didn’t feel anything but safe and welcome in this country. I would highly recommend it when looking at visiting Asia. It has a great mixed between new and old with the modern Bangkok and the smaller towns in the jungle. It is a once and a life time kind of trip and I will never forget the best Pad Thai I ever had in Bangkok!

Food To Try in Thailand
Thailand has, in my opinion, some of the best food in the world. It is full of spices and fresh fruit and vegetables. What is not to love about that. Sadly many of the other people on our tour of Thailand struggled with the food, which I did not understand. I could eat Curry everyday…
