OLD Homework

I’m glad to do this summary about my vacation to Thailand. On this trip, my wife and I went to three cities in Thailand. They are Chang Mai ,Chang Rai, and Lampang. We think Lampang has the best views of nature among them, but ChangMai has the biggest night market of Thailand, where everyone could find delicious foods that they like.

**where everyone could find their favorite food (adjective)

We spent four days in ChangRai, three days in Lampang ,and only two days in ChangMai as we needed to take transportation to take a flight back to ShangHai. Compared to ChangMai, ChangRai’s economy is not advanced but its local people are more friendly and enthusiastic.

We suffered an accident on the last day. When we drove on a road by motobicycle and were ready to turn, we fell down.My wife and I had some superficial injuries. Fortunately, we found out there was a community health center that was close to the place where the accident happened. So our wounds were dressed immediately and all these services were free.

We really appreciated Thailand medical worker and then ,our wound has been recovery as their help to dress our wound. Thailand is a perfect country that we will go there again with our daugther and relatives, also I recommand it is a good place for you to visit.
