Tailand report
I have been to Thailand last week with Catarina. 3 days in Bangkok and 6 in the beach. here are some datapoints:1.Emirates is an efficient airline but no more than that. Service stiff and lousy food. very good entertainment. They speak all the time and make to plane ready to land 45 min before necessary. They have an internal policy of not letting anyone sleep.
2.Bangkok is a gigantic China Shop with cheap products. they were invaded by Chinese tourists and Chinese products.
3.If a single child sometimes doesn't behave ok imagine a country (China) with only one child families. Kids are dictators parents the servants.
4.Some ultra luxury shopping centers dedicated to chinese.
5.Thais are very educated, no one horns the car or bike. people are generally at ease. really no stress. Budism works.
6.Food is great.
7. Difficult to move in Bangkok, too many rivers and water. I could not figure out the organization of the city.
9.Floating market is a scam, its made for tourists, there is no one single thai shopping there. They take you a picture like if you were at Eurodisney.
10. The beachs in the south are completely different, zero Chinese and only some Scandinavians in our lodge. water is hot. you can stay hours swimming.
11.There was no police, we rented a scooter with the take the key and go system.. There was no cash machine in the island. there was no shopping center. there was light in the bungalow.
12.The food was great from a Thai/french chef and cheap
If you want a place without resorts, without Hotels and without tour groups there are places in Thailand still.
13.Thailand is not a place to drink. Too expensive huge taxes on alcohol (wine). Good time for a detox. reading swimming and sleeping. There was no TV of course. They had wifi in the restaurant.
15.Best in Thailand! Foot massage.
