Thailand
Lewis Savva
I've only been to Thailand once but it is an experience I will never forget. It’s
been 8 years since I've last been here and my excitement oozes off me like
sweat during a hot Bangkok summer. And why do I love Thailand so much? Well,
let me count the ways:
The Delicious Food
When people say they like Thai food but haven’t been to Thailand, I can’t help but think “you have never really experienced Thai food.” Thai food in Thailand is leagues better than anywhere else in the world. There’s more variety and more flavors. Your mouth dances with a concert of flavours when you eat here. The food has kick to it, too. I always order “Mai pet” which means “not spicy” because by Thai standards that means only one chili. Anything more than that, and I look like I’m about to keel over and die. All over the streets of Thailand, outdoor stalls serve up the cheapest and best Thai meals you can find. And no matter what time of the day it is, there’s always food available somewhere.

The Warm WeatherI love the sun a lot. Even though there’s a monsoon season in Thailand, I love the heat and the fact that it is always hot and humid in Thailand appeals to me. It’s never jacket weather and I can always wear a t-shirt and shorts.
