Penny's highs and lows of Thailand!

As we have now left Thailand, we thought it would be good to say what were our best and worst bits, so here goes for mine.....

I loved Chiang Mai, in the north of the country, just spending time treking in the jungle and seeing such a different landscape to England. Chiang mai is so much more laid back than Bangkok and was a bit cooler too (I even wore two layers in the evenings!!). Koh Tao was also lovely and so picturesque. I also loved our other jungle experience as well, Khao Sok. I think that the cheeky Monkey and naughty dog definitely made it such fun and great entertainment. Again a beautiful place and stunning, striking scenery.

The other great thing about Thailand is the food!! Lots of Pad Thai (noodles), thai green curry and oodles of fruit. Yum Yum! I'm afraid Kyle (as you asked) I didn't eat the fried grass hopper, I was too full with all the other food!!!!

I felt that my only low was the fact that I only got a tourists view of Thailand, not really getting to know what it was really like. After living in India (all be it for only 6 months) I felt I got to know a little bit of how India ticked. I found it a little frustrating in Thailand that I only got to know a little about the place. But I quess I'd better get used to it over the next few months!!!
