Take a Bow
I read in a travel book that people in Thailand are very polite. They will greet you with a friendly smile, and put their hands to their chins to greet you "Sawatikat"...(whatever how you spell it ? ) Actually, frankly, I was rather skeptical about it. How friendly can one be ? It turns out i was very wrong.
They are really friendly people. Everyone i see, from the hotel staff to the salesgirls in the malls to the cab drivers, they are one lot of friendly people. Though they can't speak perfect English, they try to make a conversation with you. If you ask me what makes an impression during this trip, it's really the people of Thailand. They are one lot of sincere beautiful people. At least the people i'd met are wonderful.
Yes, shopping and food is as usual good, but somehow, i didn't give 100% of my shopping power, I only came back with 4 pairs of shoes, 1 Italy jersey and 1 Holland tee...and of cuz some sovenieurs. It's really rather amazing as the weekend we went happened to clash with the nation celebrating the ruling of their King at the throne for 60 yrs. So it was really an eye-opener, cuz they have a 5 day holidays just for this ! Imagine...the whole of Bangkok, not working, all celebrating...so envious right ?
I seriously dun mind going back there every yr just to gather my annual stock of shoes hahah
