Today it's 6 years since i traveled to Asia for the first time. Destination: Thailand, a 3 week vacation. I guess all of you remember the great tsunami of Christmas 2004? That wave missed us by estimated 6 weeks, a bit of luck there I would say. In Thailand there were almost no tourists, prices were lower than a burger inn hell, and the service we received were exceptional. We were 2 families traveling together and would like to believe that we provided a nice little boost to the local stores when we arrived at a new place. We found our own little paradise at Koh Mook and the Emerald cave. I don't think I'll ever return there now, simply because I want the memories of how beautiful and simple everything were there to stay intact. One time in Bangkok, my dad wanted to take a shortcut, resulting in us finding a street lined with brothels and other happy places. Being blond and blue eyed, me and my brothers got quite the attention. Nothing to fancy, but it was fun. Although being 13 years old i didn't really get all of the subtext. Anyhow, after 3 weeks we returned home.
My second trip to Thailand was at the same time, the following year. I encourage everyone to travel to Thailand and discover this amazing culture and people for yourself.
Cheers!
