Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia, and for a reason. You can find almost anything here: thick jungle as green as can be, crystal blue beaches that feel more like a warm bath than a swim in the ocean and food that can curl your nose hairs while tap dancing across your taste buds. Exotic, yet safe; cheap, yet equipped with every modern amenity you need, there is something for every interest and every price bracket, from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best luxury hotels in the world. And despite the heavy flow of tourism, Thailand retains its quintessential Thainess, with a culture and history all its own and a carefree people famed for their smiles and their fun-seeking sanuk lifestyle. Many travelers come to Thailand and extend their stay well beyond their original plans and others never find a reason to leave. Whatever your cup of tea is, they know how to make it in Thailand.

Douene. C'est celle qui m'avait organisé mon treck, je devais la revoir avant de partir de Chiang Mai, car elle a été si gentille, une femme très sensible et adorable!

Elle était avec sa maman, nourrissant d'immense poissons dans un petit étant, je la trouvais tellement jolie, j'ai demandé à sa mère si je pouvais prendre une photo, elle s'est empressée de sortir la brosse à cheveux et la peigner en vitesse. C'est un peuple généreux, et très fier, si on arrive à faire voir qu'on ne fait pas parti du 80% de tourisme sexuel, on a vite un accueil chaleureux de leur part!
