What's this country ?
A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan during World War II, Thailand became a US ally following the conflict. Thailand is currently facing armed violence in its five Muslim-majority southern provinces.
Thailand is the most incredible country I saw. It s a choc to discover, I can't talk for all europeans, but I'm sure if they can live a few in this country, they all agree. Thai people are fantastic, impossible to understand, but anyway it's really great to be there. I want to thanks here all thai I meet. I want to say, anyway, thailand has bad image here, it makes me very sad, because it's not justified. Stupid says....others look....
Why I went there ?
From a long time Asia was calling me. As we were looking for a new destination, in asia, we decided to visit thailand, where my friend has some familly.
