Welcome to the "Land Of Smiles" .
This is where you will find the real hospitality, culture and fun.
Thailand is well know for it festivities such as "The King's Birthday" , "Songkran", "Wesak" , "Loy Krathong" and many more.
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, but the Thais call Bangkok as " Krung Thep" .
It is a city of excitement and many people will be amazed with it. Along with it, places such Phuket, Koh Samui offers the beauty of nature and food. It is a good place for relaxation.
November is the month of " Loy Krathong" and it is a very exciting occasion to take your family for an outing.
Please see the video cutting below to learn about Loy Krathong song.
Thailand is also blessed with numerous authentic food, where our locals mainly know about is Tom Yum. Tom Yum is a soup , if you quote "Tom Yum Kung" means the soup contains prawns or shrimp. Tom means boil, while Yum means soup and Kung means prawn. Seafood in Thailand is known as "Ah-hann Talay"
Learning Thai is not difficult. They have some similarities to Malay and Chinese language and dialect. The Thais societies/ general public consist of Siamese, Thai Malay, Thai Chinese, Thai Indian. But very special is that all of them calls themselve Thais, unlike Malaysia where we have to divide between bumiputras and non-bumiputras. So no wonder, the Thais are very proud of the country and their King.
Thailand can be reached by land and air. For places like Haadyai, we can drive down to the border which will takes us about 2 hours.And later another 2 hours to Haadyai .
Before we cross over to the border, we will reach Bukit Kayu Hitam, we may get our currency change and do some duty free shopping .
Exactly at the border Thai Immigration check-point is Danok- a small town flourishing up with nite clubs, massage, spa and many others.
Here we can enjoy the food which is relatively cheaper, the people in Danok mainly can speak Malay and Mandarin or Hokkien.
