10 Reasons Why You Would Choose Thailand

Is Thailand worth going to? Yes! Once you visit, you will want to go back!

Are you wondering why people love visiting and living in Thailand?

Here’s my list of reasons with shared photos based on my travel experiences.

I honestly think Thailand should be one of everyone’s first countries to visit as there’s a lot you can see and experience for less.

What to experience in Thailand?

1. Thai Food is the best

My favorite mango sticky rice, green curry and tom yum soup
Tip: Ask a local (your taxi driver or tour guide) which restaurant is the best and what Thai dishes to try
OR go on a food tour

2. One of the cheapest countries to visit

3. Many places to explore – temples, beaches, nature, parks

4. Floating Market Experiences

5. Interesting Cultural Tours

6. Many variety of fresh tropical fruits

My favorite fruit lychee
My favorite Thai dessert fresh mango sticky rice and I could taste the milk sauce also made fresh -so delicious

7. Night Markets and Bargain Shopping

8. Thai massage is always so relaxing

De-stress and relax with a Thai massage and feel rejuvenated

9. Thai drinks are so good

Must try authentic Thai tea and any flavored fresh juice (mango, lychee, coconut & guava)

10. Thai Elephants Encounter ( Thailand’s national animal)

On my first elephant ride in Thailand, unfortunately, I was unaware that riding on elephants is considered unethical and should be avoided because this can cause physical damage to the elephants. Their backs are not naturally made to support heavy weight. In addition, please do your research. Unethical practices and negative behind-the-scenes in elephants tourism industries have been reported. Only when I witnessed the wounds and condition of elephants in India that I started researching and became aware of my mistakes. I DO NOT recommend riding on elephants. Instead, I’d recommend doing your research and having an ethical elephant experience even just from a distance encounter with these gentle giants.
