Tempting Thailand

Thailand is one of those destinations that from the moment you arrive you can immerse yourself in a completely different culture and be fascinated by all the different sights and sounds.

The country will challenge your senses. The smells after a heavy downpour to the small fires lit by the roadside are distinctly Thailand. You can travel anywhere else after that and if you smell that again, it will transport you back to where you were. Sounds are something else, Thai culture can be loud, so be prepared for car horns, shouting from market sellers amongst other things but its all part of the experience and after a while you will barely notice them. Taste, well this is my favourite. Whether you like spice or not, there is something for everyone and my top tip would be to avoid the restaurants and find yourself a little roadside pop-up food stand. The food is generally more authentic but of course you might have to be friendly to a local passing dog eager for some scraps. Don’t worry though, they are all very friendly.

So, if you have never been to Thailand, you really don’t know what you are missing and is definitely somewhere to add to the list!
