5: Thai Hospitality
Not many countries I have been would I find hospitality a major factor to include in a list like this…
Thailand is a whole other story though!
The Thai people are super friendly and open towards foreigners which you will find in multiple layers of society.
Think about hotel staff providing you with welcoming drinks or giving you wet towels to cool yourself down.
Same goes for restaurant staff, staff at supermarkets and school girls who come to greet you because they love to talk to foreigners.
Almost everywhere you go you will be greeted with a friendly smile and a Thai who would love to help you out in case you are in need of help.
Which you’ll also experience in for example the famous Thai massage!
Sure there is a thin line between famous and infamous when it comes to the Thai massage, many people would think straight away about the ‘Happy endings’ being offered😅
But ofcourse the Thai massage is so much more then that!
I think the hospitality aspect also comes back in the way those massages are being done.
You can truly feel that they take their time for you, communicate with you in case you are in any pain and make sure you feel reborn after!
Now of course not every Thai is as friendly towards foreigners as others..
There are those who love to charge you extra just because you are a foreigner, think about national parks doubling the price for foreigners compared to Thai people.
But for the most part Thai people are extremely friendly, helpful and respectful towards us(so make sure you treat them in the same way!)
6: Nightlife
You don’t need to have been in Thailand to know about the nightlife scene there.
Most people know all too well how (in)famous the Thai nightlife is, how there is a huge ladyboy scene and how lots of older foreigners visit Thailand just to have sex there.
I’d be lying if I said it isn’t as bad as people say it is because it is haha..
In my time there I’ve seen dozens of older guys walking those streets looking for young girls/guys to fuck.
I even saw an older guy kissing a younger Thai ‘guy’ on the beach once, not that special maybe untill I tell you that the Thai guy was probably a kid of just 15/16 years old🙄🤢
Look back at Part 1 of this article and you can see me talk about Thai Culture and I keep finding it funny how such a peaceful and Buddhistic country has 1 of the biggest sex cultures in the world!
The sex industry has become a major part of the Thai economy and therefore I don’t think it will ever disappear.
Now I do find it interesting to walk those streets don’t get me wrong…
The red neon lights shining bright at night, girls swinging with boards and saying how they’ll give me a blowjob for a good price😅
I’d say it’s definitely worth the visit so you can experience the vibe there.
But it is simply not my cup of tea. I would never sleep with a girl who just sells herself for everyone.
But if you are into that, then book your flight right now because Thailand is the place for you!
Now I can’t talk about the Thai nightlife without mentioning the biggest party there, attracting thousands of foreigners.
Yes indeed! The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan!
Held every month once the full moon has set it in.
I have never attended the party myself but we all know it’s reputation right?
Alcohol, sex and parties that last entire nights.
Buckets filled with alcohol, fire shows, people walking around in neon face paint.
A must visit when you love to party and I’m sure a night to remember!
!!Reminder!!
Of course Thailand also has regular nightclubs, amazing rooftop bars and other interesting nightlife to explore!
Just because the sex industry is so huge doesn’t mean the entire country is filled with red light areas haha. There is lots to be done for those who are not into that.
7: Price
Thailand and actually most of South-East Asia in general are really affordable destinations!
You will notice this with every single thing that you do.
Have you always wanted to stay in a 4/5star resort but has it always been too expensive for you?
Then Thailand will most likely solve your problems!
Or perhaps you are a student who received some money from your parents or saved some by your own.
Then even with that small amount of money you can still travel around Thailand for weeks!
⬆️Take these 2 hotels for example ⬆️
1 week in NAP Krabi cost you 120eu and 1 week in Krab Seabass 165!
NOTE: These prices were taken in covid times.
There is a reason why Thailand is such a popular destination in Asia and famous around the world!
Reasonable priced hotels, stunning temples and a cheap but very delicious cuisine.
The only downside might be your flight going there but once that’s behind you, you’ll find yourself in one of the most beautiful countries in the world!
The cheap prices will also come back to you when it comes to all forms of transportation!
Flights from Chiang Mai up North to Phuket in the South can cost you around 40eu one way. Or even less depending how far in advance you book!
A night train bringing you from Bangkok to the city of Chiang Mai would cost you around 20/25eu.
In return you get a 12 hour train ride and a really fun way of traveling huge distances!
Thailand is a very reasonable priced country compared to Japan, Korea, China and such.
Even Malaysia which I also visited was a lot more expensive than Thailand.
Malaysia wasn’t expensive in any way of course, I stayed in a hotel with views over the Kuala Lumpur skyline for just 20euro..
But Thailand is much cheaper in comparison and so to come to the final conclusion, a must visit for everyone!
