Best food ever. The fruit? Fabulous.

Now I NEED to go.

But, seriously, the city is very young and attractive. I felt like it was this secret club I could never belong to-

I just posted about the fruit. And the beautiful way they presented it--even the street vendors.

It was one vacation I actually left feeling healthier. My hotel had tibetan yoga classes. I was drinking green tea, fruit, healthy Thai food.

Suddenly looking around me, feeling a sense of dissatisfaction. I have a traveling problem.

Thailand’s capital, the first point of entry for thousands who head to the country’s beaches, has been named the number one destination for international visitors in the Global Destination Cities Index forecast.

There are beaches around the globe and some pretty nice ones. How much of the tourist trade is there for sex tourism?

I miss the local Thai restaurant I ate at weekly. It was replaced with something else entirely.

All of them?

And they have yummy food....True, but they need to put Febreeze in the canals.

A very small percentage is there specifically for the sex trade, a few more are there for it combined with other activities. But it's a country with something for everyone, Just in my circle of people there are some who went trekking in the north for the entire trip,a few went on a special rock climbing trip and I always see families heading for the beaches/islands. I also think these high numbers are related to the fact that it's good place to stopover on long international flights, with Visa on arrival,lots of shopping, golf and plane flights everywhere. But the common denominator among people I’ve known is they want to see it before its overdeveloped and spoiled.
My last trip I saw and article that said US made up less than 10% of the sex travelers with the majorities Scandinavian,European and Asian.

“The Thai people are among the nicest, most gentle people on earth. There’s a lot to see in Bangkok.

“And they have yummy food.”

Amen to that. Been to Thailand many times - Bangkok, Chiangmai, here and there... loved it every time.

The only trouble is it’s difficult being happy with home again after returning.
