my bff she went to america to study. I have been to Thailand. Last year i went to Thailand with my family, with my mother and aunt. We went to Bangkok and Bali, it’s a beautiful island and there are many different place that I can go to, different food, and different beautiful scenery that I can see. We lived a 5 star hotel. But the weather is hot, so we stayed at hotel 2 days and we bought a lot of things such as clothes. One day we took a boat but the boat was broken so we waited about 2 hours, the police officer will come. The people were scared. We think it’s dangerous.
