Our Trip to Thailand
My husband and I went to Thailand in January and planed to stay for ten days. Before we went on holiday, we bought some snorkelling equipment because we thought that the weather in Thailand would be pretty good, 25 degrees on average. However, when we arrived in Thailand the weather was very wet. Mudslides were very common but the bad weather did not influence our plans because it mainly rained at night. We also rented a scooter and explored the city. When I lied down next to the sea on a deck chair, I enjoyed the fresh air, looked at the ocean and I felt satisfaction.

Sometimes it is important to leave the noisy city and be able to relax. I like Thailand because there are more interesting things to do, you can enjoy the weather, eat the local food , watch Thai boxing and the lady boys, go snorkelling, and ride an elephant etc. The stuff in Thailand is very cheap, two hundred RMB can be exchanged into around two thousand baht, this can buy you four massages. My husband and I loved our trip to Thailand, I hope after few years we will go there again.
