Now I worked in Thailand for two years, and I come every year to work elsewhere.
I love the people, culture and food, and now I'm starting to see and understand a bit 'more of this beautiful country.
For Westerners, there is not much to see.
Even the entertainment capital with its heat, exotic locations and sounds, and the campaigns of good character and stalls.
The first experience is varied, but when tourist numbers are anything to go by thenThis is Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket.
Phuket is the height of his nickname - ". Pearl of the Andaman" the
As a pearl is very shiny, very expensive and has a crowd of admirers offer its value. In addition to price increases every year. Pearl action.
There are some beautiful beaches, but if you want an island too developed there are many other possibilities.
Pattaya is a lot cheaper, but less developed.
Sin City Beach is a magnet for men who immediatelyRelations, and cheap beer every day if not every hour thrill.
Strangely, it is now trying to attract families. Strike two.
Great, if you make love, not war, but almost a taste of Amazing Thailand.
Bangkok I do not deny it.
These mega-metropolis has crept its way into my heart and remains my favorite city.
The sights, sounds, tastes and Buzz making an exciting and pulse-quickening visit to the city, and the value is undeniable.
I would likeindicate the location in the capital for a week to make your way north towards the mountains and the cultural center of the country.
Chiang Mai is the center of the north and is a bit 'more relaxed than the capital.
Industry and Commerce are in silk, leather and products, and the tribes of Kings Mountain Project objects that are extraordinary.
Many years ago, the hill people, and Thailand has grown opium revered king took an interest in their welfare, and the customers of a proposedteach these topics as sustainable harvesting, for the good of the community to grow.
This was and now Chiang Mai has a wealth of agricultural products, the grace of the best menus in the world.
Because I more or less "Street Joe" bin, I tend to focus on immediate benefits for me. Coffee!
Throughout Thailand, there is little road by Doi Chang and Doi Tung "Coffee, the baht has been champion of 25 extraordinary wine made a bean in a large cup of iced coffee for about($ 1)
Chiang Mai is the gateway to the north and the Thai people are nice.
Unlike Phuket, it is a distinct lack of tuk tuk mafia, jet-fraud, irritating and persistent Nepali recruits Schneider and shows sexy in-your-face.
This town is your first impression of the true great of Thailand and is one of rolling hills and majestic mountains.
Further north (actually in the far north at the head of the country) is Chiang Rai, a city very Thai in the Golden Triangle - aTri City is located at the border between Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand.
This is the home of the mighty Mekong River - a river that winds deep silty 4350 km road through Nepal, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The river, which in turn is the home of the giant catfish, and a swarm of cruise options that you can explore the unparalleled beauty of the real Asia.
In this city there are other foreigners, for sure.
Do not expect thetheir first grace the sidewalks.
The difference is in the greeting, respect and openness that is seen on the mineral m, and tourist centers oriented tired.
If you get sex for money, excitement, and design shops need in the capital or in one of the most developed.
This is a place to relax, moving the camera and take home some memories to life in an unforgettable place and its people.
I would recommend driving.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!YES. Driving in Asia.
Chiang Mai is a great place to rent for a small four-wheel-dive and then you can head through the green mountains and bamboo forests at a slow pace of the north, take the time, some villages, the real projects and supplier side the road to explore their path.
One of my favorites is a small "blink-and-you-miss-it" market called "Bong Nam Lon" or "hot spring".
As the name suggests, this is a small stream of boiling water to sell small baskets listless providerof quail eggs that are cooked in the spring and can be eaten.
Even a lot of crafts and handmade clothing from the hill tribes of hemp fiber and natural cotton colors. Of course we have coffee and a great character with a small bar and cold beer.
Last update is now also the head of Chiang Rai.
This city has some magnificent "wats" or Thai temples, but first you must not stop for a vision of endless rice fields in the lowlands between the drive setHill.
They find and recognize them because of their color - the green more vivid and intense that you see on this planet. Simply breathtaking.
This is a true northern Thailand, and the clip goes from boring old rice "sticky rice", which consists of a woven basket pulled and eaten in cakes or balls with amazing fresh food, the area is famous.
I write a lot about the strange and wonderful adventure of food here - insects, frogs, snakes, lily pods,beetle larvae and wild boar - but the truth is that the less adventurous eater is also well served.
The stalls offer a variety of pasta dishes, charcoal grilled chicken and vegetables in the region and I would recommend a trip to a major supermarket, the fruit of this incredibly fertile region to see.
Once your confidence levels up, take a ride out of town and explore the places and the smiles that the smaller the "Baan" or villages to find - isis safe and you are welcome.
This is far from the tourist mecca of Thailand greedy.
This is true in Thailand and you will not experience the dual display and rip-off, polluting Phuket and Pattaya.
The price of everything that is low, and you will have the right to make changes to the last Baht or Satang get.
If you want to cut a couple of days of your trip, Chiang Rai also has an airport.
I am a frequent flyer.
I discovered last week that ChiangRai Airport is the only airport I've ever been, do not try to rip tourists.
The airport shops offer many authentic mountain village of handmade clothing and crafts at reasonable prices and great selection of snacks, international and local.
I bought a couple of excellent quality shirts, made by Lotus (Lily) fiber - to support the local economy and certainly for the quality to be sold for $ 60 - $ 100 over and over again in my country.
I paid 200Baht, about $ 8 each. Handmade, natural fiber, good cut. to order at the airport,
In Bangkok you will be asked for 250 baht for a cheap Chinese T-shirt cotton polyester.
This city is also the starting point for excursions into Laos and Burma, and "next door" is Isaan - the poor northeastern province famous for its food and friendly people.
The great thing about Thailand is the Thai people. They do their best in the north.
Take aPromote and see the real Thailand before. It took years and many visits to that part of Thailand, which looks like a person rather than to find a cash cow. Why make the same mistake as the hundreds of thousands of people to join the glittering resorts?
Questions are welcome - visit my site and leave your questions in my comments.
Hope to see you in northern Thailand.
