I have been gone to Thailand since I am 7. When I first time went there I saw in Thailand people are really black, but they are good, not like a few Japanese people in WW2. I saw Thailand people like eating spicy things for dinner and lunch, they usually eat rice with curry and drink some spicy soup. Sometimes they go to KFC or MC Donald to eat some fast food.Thailand people usually buy motorbike to ride, some Thai people buy cars to drive. They think motorbike is more cheaper then cars I really like them because they’re very kind, for example in a hotel you want something like soap or something like that they will give it to you as soon as possible.
