Best of Thailand
We visited the Kingdom of Thailand for 24 days. This was a great country to relax, request visas at a few embassies, and transit between our travels along Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
This was the second time we both visited Thailand and we tried to explore for the most part places that were new two both of us. Although the country is highly touristy, you could still find secret gems to enjoy without the crowds. A variety of beautiful scenery, tasty food, transportation options, and affordable prices for accommodation are definitely great reasons to explore this kingdom.
