Every year I have at least once to Thailand to travel, each trip to bring me different experiences. Until now, Thailand is still a place for me to admire the way they travel and the excitement because each time I come to discover many new interesting things and I like "not bored". After more than 10 times arriving in the land of the Golden Temple, I would like to have a few lines of Thai travel reviews , hoping to answer some of the questions for those who are curious to learn or intend to travel to Thailand.
Thailand is beautiful and many interesting things!
What is good in Thailand?
Thailand has quite a lot of good things to see, to experience; from sightseeing to playing. From children to the elderly, from young people to couples, or families. The nice things I see are:
History
The country of Thailand today is made up of many different small kingdoms (after the unification of the territory). Throughout its historical period, the Thais frequently fought with Burmese to defend their sovereignty and the ancient capital of Ayuthaya was a historical witness to those wars. Along with that, this people also have conquests to the territory of neighboring countries.
In modern times, due to the progressive policy of reforming the country of Thailand's leaders, this country avoids being turned into a colony by the West and has flourished among the Eastern nations. South Asia has the same situation.
Culture
Thailand is a Buddhist country, so temples grow everywhere. Many times to Thailand, I have visited many temples from Bangkok, Ayutthaya to Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai ... Each temple is a masterpiece of architecture and fine arts.
"Thailand's cultural specialties" are also smiles, so you'll meet lots of friendly locals who put a smile on their lips.
Cuisine
When I think of reviewing Thai tourism, I definitely have to mention food. The cuisine here is extremely unique with a variety of dishes: from street food to traditional dishes. Many of them are tailored to suit different tastes so you will have a variety of options depending on your preference.
Dishes Thai cuisine are characterized as spicy, hot, tasty, but today it has been processed according to the tastes of tourists, so you can fully required heat level according my taste.
Sight seeing
Stretching from north to south, Thailand has a lot of attractions to attract tourists: from the sights associated with nature such as rainforest, waterfalls, beaches, beautiful islands to the vibrant art entertainment venue operating all night.
Therefore, Thailand is an extremely attractive tourist destination that you should definitely visit.
Why should you travel to Thailand?
Should travel to Thailand because from Vietnam to Thailand extremely easy. You can take a plane or a combination of train and bus. However aircraft are still the fastest means. From Hanoi, City. Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang ... within just over an hour flight you are at Bangkok / Chiang Mai / Phuket ...
Every day there are many flights departing from Vietnam to Thailand (depending on destination). Airfares to Thailand are also cheap because there are many cheap airlines operating here.
Especially Thailand is also the country chosen by Western travelers as the first place to visit to start the journey to explore Southeast Asia.
I also added that the price in Thailand is extremely cheap, if it is reasonable, sometimes it is cheaper than in Vietnam.

Thailand Tourism Review: Which month should go in the year?
Review travel Thailand, the weather of Thailand is quite similar to Vietnam, so you can travel all year round.
The best time to go to Thailand is the cool, dry season (from November to April next year) because this is a good time for the weather. During the rainy season (from May to October) the weather is hot and humid, but your trip will not be as ideal.
If you choose to go on festivals, you should consider some Thai New Year events. Specifically, Loy Krathong (November), Songkran New Year (mid-April), fasting ceremony in Phuket ... Cultural events like this have a lot of interesting and interesting activities.
Traveling to Thailand should dress like?
The weather in Thailand is hot and humid, so it is best to wear light clothes. There are some things to note that when visiting the temple, the palace should wear polite clothes (pants must be over knees, shirts must have arms) ...
Thai travel review: Some things to look out for
Money
Thailand uses Thai Baht - their official currency. However, USD money is still accepted for payment in case of need. In addition, there are many money changers in Thailand.
Thai people
Thai people are very friendly and enthusiastic. When meeting the native Thai people, you will see anyone standing on the lips with a smile, extremely welcoming to visitors.
My experience when I first came to Bangkok, when I could not find a hostel address in the Khao San area, on the way there were about a dozen Thais - from a beautiful young girl to a choai boy or a old lady - everyone who helped me was very enthusiastic. They make me feel when you come to Bangkok, no matter who you are, where you come from, you are still a "VIP".
If you come to Khao San area at night, you can meet many Vietnamese street vendors here.
Thai people are very friendly, always smiling
Language in Thailand
Thai people mainly use Thai language, however, due to tourism development, English is now quite popular in big cities like Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai ...
In the destinations where tourism is so developed, almost everyone can speak English, even if it is accented. Because in Southeast Asia, the way of speaking and speaking English of Thai people is similar to Vietnamese, so it is quite easy to understand.
In addition, if you go to more remote areas, you can use google translate to help translate into Thai.
Note that when traveling to Thailand, you should learn some Thai words to pocket as thank you, greetings, count, ask prices.
Social Network
Thai people rarely use facebook but mainly Line is a social network for exchanging information and chatting. Also some people use WhatsApp. If you want to get in touch, ask for their phone number.
How many days should I go to Thailand?
Going to Thailand, depending on the time you have and the destination, arrange the travel dates accordingly. If you only go to Bangkok then go 3 days to visit it all. If you go to Bangkok - Pattaya, about 5 days. Going to Chiang Mai or Phuket is about 4 days ....
If you have more time, you can combine sightseeing along Northern Thailand from Bangkok to Chiang Rai, Mae Hong Son in 10 days.
What to eat in Thailand, where to eat?
Is Thai food spicy, sour?
The food is easy to eat, suitable for Vietnamese people. Some people say Thai food is spicy, personally I think it is really spicy but not all are spicy and there are some things I can ask to reduce.
What should eat?
Thailand has many delicious food. Every time I like to eat, the food I eat a lot is: Tom Yum, Pad Thai, Papaya Salad (Son Tam) ... Some other snacks such as tea, mango sticky rice ...
You can eat on the sidewalk, eat in a food court or some restaurants (because the restaurant is more expensive but the quality of the food and presentation is more impressive, you should experience eating at home). goods at least 1 time).
Buy food at convenience stores 7 - eleven
Review of Thailand tourism, it is impossible not to mention 7-eleven. In Thailand there are many convenience stores of this type. The price here is extremely cheap and has a variety of dishes. I personally think that the food in 7- eleven in Thai soil is very delicious, suitable for the taste and can save hunger when needed.
Shrimp Yum - a dish rich in Thai culinary identity
Entertainment
One more thing, when reviewing Thailand tourism, I look back and see that there are quite a lot of forms of entertainment for tourists when traveling to Thailand, going to see shows, watching Muay Thai matches, going to bars. - discos, shopping, dining on the Chao Phraya ...
Watch the show
Should sex shows?
Most people who come to Thailand like to watch out of curiosity (me too). However, after watching, I was not interested so I couldn't watch it. I like entertainment shows like Nanta show. Or shows about culture and history to better understand the destination (Thailand) like Siam Niramit ...
Which show should choose?
My review is to watch shows that are artistic, cultural, to help understand Thai cultural history such as Siam Niramit, Fantasea, Kan ... or if you need to relax, you can watch some transgender shows like Manbo Crabet, Tiffany ...
Siam Niramit - an art and cultural show that helps to better understand the history of Thai culture
Thailand tourism review: Experiences should have when visiting the land of the golden temple
Massage Massage :
Thai massage is considered as an art discipline, a wellness therapy in Thai culture. It appears as a matter of course in everyday life and is a pride of the Thais. Thai Massage was born by the creation of a monk in the temple and Wat Pho is the first teaching place in Thailand.
Coming to Thailand, you should experience Thai massage once. I have tried foot massage many times because I often go sightseeing. Foot massage is sometimes available right off the road. In addition to foot massage, there is hand massage, body massage, etc.
Tuk tuk:
Going to tuk tuk in Thailand is also an interesting experience. However, you need to be careful, negotiate prices before boarding because tuk tuk drivers are very challenging. Also go tuk tuk sometimes also howling because the driver is quite reckless, especially on the streets of Bangkok (especially rush hour).
Tuk tuk - typical vehicle in Thailand
See the show:
Thailand is best known for transsexual shows (not sex shows). However, what makes it even more famous is that the shows are elaborately elaborated, invested in a good costume and the dancer / actor is very beautiful. Watch the show to see the aesthetic and artistic taste of the Thai people.
In addition, it helps me visualize the history and culture of this country, so this will be an indispensable experience if you travel and explore Thailand.
