Its one of my dreamlands as a kid and I am so glad I was able to finally get there. However, I wish I had more time to go around, shop and see more things. People are nice, transportation service is pretty nice as well
We traveled like the local residents from Thailand. Tourist bus, local vans, tuk-tuk, motorcycle taxi, local bus, trains, there is not a thing I can think of not using to travel around. The highways and the traffic around there, even during weekends. The sky train up high, on 7 and 8 floor. I have never seen such train station, one above another. I have no words but to say WOW. Below are few pictures I found in google. I didn't get the chance to capture the pictures in my camera. Below the train stations are walkways, street, bus stops etc.
The highways are 6 lanes wide, and every lane is busy. There were many toll roads, some toll roads had 10-16 lanes, I couldn't believe it. Asia is definitely more developed than America in many ways. The 10 days, I was in Thailand and Cambodia, I didn't hear a swear word, I didn't hear people blasting their music nor loud people like in the USA. It was just beautiful.
So, to summarize Thailand is beautiful. There are many places I didn't get to visit and shop. Following places are for my next visit, which I am already planning on my head.
