The country has so much to offer, you cannot get enough of it; you will see it enriched with different cultures and ethnicities , you will enjoy it and it will leave an impact , I miss it every single day since the time i have been back! I hope and pray you get to experience it too one day; Bon voyage ❤️

For snorkelling and divers, Phi Phi Island is the best in thailand. The country is blessed with the most exciting cities. From Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Ayyuthiya to Krabi every city is worth seeing. The traditional festivals include the Loy Krathong which is the festival of lights and Songkran, the new year festival.

The mouthwatering foods of Turkey also give refreshing aromas and texture. These include Thai dishes such as  Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong and Somtum. The top visited destinations of Thailand include Phuket which is naturally blessed with a relaxing atmosphere, pristine beaches and a vibrant nightlife. 

All of them have their own uniqueness. If you fancy nature then Phi Phi islands are a must.
The country is very cheap so you can have a really good time with a decent budget. Getting a massage is usually around 180 Thai Baht so I was getting one every single day throughout my trip.
