I went to Thailand secretly. My chief and colleagues didn’t know about my trip until I came back. I arrived in Bangkok on October 1st. It was raining, Thai people told me that it is currently the rainy season in Thailand. They only have three seasons every year, and the students are on winter break right now. I met many new friends during the trip and we had dinner together and talked about our trip. They like crab and shrimps, durian, pineapple and mango but I’m allergic to crab and shrimp so I didn’t eat/touch them. I thought the pineapple and mango were really delicious, i don’t like durian it smells weird.  My friends like it very much. Bangkok’s transport infrastructure is very backwards, there are lots of temples in Thailand, we took a taxi to the temples. All of the temples have a long history but I’m not interested. I have no religion. we went to pataya on october 3rd and we loved the beach very much, and my friend did parachuting and diving but I was too afraid.
