I've never been there in fact i live there for all my life. I love this easy going and land of smile thing, we call Thai way and never forget Thai foods are lovely too. Yesterday, i went to a book shop and found a travel archeive done by a well know publisher from UK. They ranked countries to most favourite visit or most want to go from 200 countries in the world. And amazing thing is that Thailand ranked 5th! I know that people love to come here, but what's reason behind it? Please tell..

Well to be honest, i never had an opportunity to visit Thailand, but I do hope that one day I do. Indeed I have heard there are friendly people there and that there are lot of picturesque places to visit. The culture of the new and the old co-excist together. One day I might very well visit Thailand :)

I went to Thailand for my 18th birthday and having grown up in the Philippines, one of the things I liked about Thailand was how similar it was to my own country. The atmosphere and how people looked generally, so somehow I also felt at home although I couldn't speak the language. I think that people love coming to Thailand because the people are friendly who smile a lot and there are tons of great and cheap places to shop (I apologize for being such a girl :P) where you can bargain your a** off. Thai culture seems to be really rich and interesting too, plus the beaches are awesome. So yeah, I think it's a mixture of the people, culture, shopping bargains and beautiful natural resources in Thailand that makes it so appealing to people. Plus, it's relatively cheaper compared to visiting other countries but the traveling experience is just as rich.
