I'm at that moment of sadness and happiness again. Happy that i'm a great experience richer, sad that the experience ended. The tour that i booked on Thaiplenty.com was fantastic. Their guide was super fun and informative. It also helps that Thailand is an amazing country to explore. We went from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi to see the Bridge on the river Kwai and trekking through the forest to a waterfall. Then to Ayutthaya to have a lunch cruise on the river while looking at ancient temples. We also went to Sukhothai for a bicycle ride and then further to the north of Thailand.
The last few days we went to Chiang Mai, Pai and Mae Hong Son. These northern cities are awesome in a relax and serene way. There were elephants, markets, temples and butterflies in Chiang Mai. Longnecks, mountains and forests in Mae hong Son. Hills, hotsprings, farmland and yes also a lot of backpackers in Pai. Each place that we visited had it's own atmosphere and unique ambience. I really feel like i witnessed a broad amount of variety from this unique country and would definately like to go there again. In a few years maybe after i finished my study and earned some more money. Till then i have my photos and memories.

Eating sticky rice with mango!
Am in Thailand right now and despite all the tumolt because of the political situation here, the atmosphere is actually quite relaxed. I read all the news about the protests and the fighting with people getting shot and was a bit worried but i believe that as long as you don't get involved, there is not much to worry about.
The Thai people are still smiling, and if it was not for the news on tv reminding me that there are occasional fights here and there, i don't notice anything from it. There are some roads filled with protestors close to my hotel, but they are not protesting. They are selling Thai food, and relaxing while playing some cards.
The other travelers in my group did not even know there were protests going on.
My group consists of a variety of people from all over the globe and they are all nice and social, so i feel lucky to travel around with them. The youngest in our group is 19 from Belgium and the oldest is 45 from Italy. I look forward to explore Thailand with them on our 2 week tour.
The best thing in Thailand so far? The food of course! All kinds of fruit of which i don't know the name but it taste all fresh and sweet. Tomorrow we will head to Sukothai and have a bicycle trip around the old ruins. Will write again later, have to finish my mango.
