Why I Fell in Love with Thailand

Bangkok, Thailand's capital city is the center of commerce and trading. It brags of its many historical landmarks and cultural heritage. When one visit this beautiful Asian country be prepared for some spicy cuisine experience for they have a different definition of the term "Not Spicy". I mean even our regular American fast food which is in existence in Thailand prepare the food spicy (yes, even McDonald's have super spicy burgers! Don't ask about KFC because their chicken and even mashed potatoes literally has diced chilli in it). But their food is something that would please almost all palates which is one of the reason why it is one of the most sought after tourist destination in Asia by foreigners.

Most of my friends back home in the United States would discuss traveling in Asia and would not fail to mention Thailand and going to Phuket. This is why when I had the opportunity to go on a vacation I chose to visit Thailand without any hesitation. What I discovered there is that they cook practically anything. Just give them wok, golden mountain sauce, and some chili powder and they would turn anything into a snack or a meal. Name it my friend and they can cook it. You can have beer matches like fried crickets, beetles, wood worm, and grasshoppers and talk about the politics in this country over a beer.

One can go to any corner in Thailand and find an American tourist who is either there for business or with their family for a vacation. But my eyes have always been set on the prize from the time that I arrived at the airport and that is to enjoy my last three days on Phuket. Well, when I got there the first thing that I did was go around the Pha NGa Bay with some tourist. I just could not stop clicking my camera for some shots of the spectacular beauty of the bay. While cruising the bay we came across a boat which is packed with people partying, the guide said it was the Ladyandaman. They usually rent that boat for private parties and exclusive cruise around Phuket. Sounds great right? But of course it comes with a price.
