I never expected that I forget to write about Thailand after I have been here many times, and guess what? where I am now? 

I am back in Thailand after my Myanmar trip! yay!

Honestly, Thailand is the best stopover or best airport before flying somewhere else not only including neighbouring countries but also International long flights including western countries.

My first flight to this country was last  November 19, 2015, and this trip was not that hard as a chef a friend who's been many times in Thailand gave me a tour for free- therefore I think I went to the places so far.

Top 7 places you must see in Thailand + cost breakdown!

1. Bangkok is the capital and most populous city of Thailand. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in central Thailand and has a population of over eight million, or 12.6 per cent of the country's population. Over fourteen million people (22.2 per cent) lived within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region at the 2010 census, making Bangkok the nation's primate city, significantly dwarfing Thailand's other urban centres in terms of importance.
