Can anything top Thailand

Well this time last year I was prepping for my escapade to Thailand. Just mentioning the country’s name brings hundreds of memories flooding back that even the closest experience just don’t exist here in Blighty.

Thailand is like nothing you can imagine if you haven’t been there; everything from the smell of the warm humid climate and dramatic landscape to the Thais’ love for their King and the food being cooked in the Anusan Night Market in Chaing Mai (Photograph insert – not of cooking, but the Night Market).

Many people (myself included) go to Thailand without a set-in-stone plan, they flow with the culture and the other Travellers to see where they end up – and to be honest, I think you may have wasted your trip if you didn’t do that.

Then I think about this year and I know straight away this isnt going to be an easy one to top.. Taking that amount of time off work last year and setting the sort of finances aside to be able to do such a thing even for 3/4wks was difficult (unless you’ve been saving for best part of a year or so – my decision to go was only three months in advance). I also dont think going back to linear holidays will be easy, being tied down to one location is quite the commitment.

So, I’m aiming for a July holiday… okay then, I better get started…..
