Travel to Thailand you can't go wrong! My Wife's Home Country

After many chats online, phone calls with a calling card Thailand and allot of IM's in Oct. 2004  I decided to Travel to Thailand to meet my future wife (Ning). My plane was due in to Don Muang Airport out side Bangkok Thailand at 11:50 at night. My connecting flight out of Narita International Airport in Japan was 3 hours late. I did not get out of customs till 3:30. This was the only problem I had during my travel to Thailand. This was on a Sunday night and all of my wife's family that came had to go to work that very morning. Even with this I have to say that this was the friendliest bunch of people I have ever meant. I knew then that my Travel to Thailand was going to be very special.

  U.S. citizens staying for fewer than 30 days do not need a visa to travel to Thailand. You must have a passport and may be asked to show an onward/return ticket.  Effective Oct. 1, 2006, persons entering Thailand without a visa will be allowed to stay in Thailand for 30 days per visit.  The total number of days in Thailand for persons who enter Thailand without a visa cannot exceed 90 days during any six-month period. Travelers must pay a Passenger Service Charge in Thai Baht when departing from any of Thailand’s international airports. There are all kinds of Thailand travel deals on line. The only Thailand travel warning you will find is about the most south 3 provinces that border Malaysia.

My accommodations in Thailand was I stayed at Amari Hotel by the airport for my first night in Thailand. My wife to be was back at my hotel at 7:30 in the morning. From the Ameri we move to the  Novotel Hotel out side Bangkok and that is were I stayed for the rest of my first Thailand trip. After my first trip to Thailand Ning and I stay at the D.C. Palace Hotel. D.C. Palace is located in the business and entertainment district of Samut Prakan. This is the province were most of Nings family is. This is just out side Bangkok.

During my first trip to Thailand Nings family took me to the old Capital in Ayutthaya Thailand. Ning and I made several trips into Bangkok to see several Wats (Temples) and the Grand Palace. there are many places to visit in Bangkok. We also went down to island of Ko Chang and stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights at Chang Park Resort & Spa.

Asian food. Thailand has the best. From all the sea foods to all of the different fruits grown in Thailand. You can get very spicy to no spice at all. Just walking down any street in Thailand you will find a different variety of street venders selling any thing you want in food and drink. This is how allot of Thai's make their living.

I have been to Thailand 4 times as of now. My now wife Ning came back to the USA with me in Oct. 2005. We plan to go back to Thailand and retire there in the future. I must say that every time I was there I felt very much welcome by all that I had contact with. My wife's family treat me as one of their own now. The turning point was after Ning and I went back to Thailand and had a Thai wedding there in Dec 2006. Family is very important to the Thai people. They are very proud of their culture. Besides family the two most important things to Thai people are their King and Buddha.

If you ever get the chance Tour Thailand by all means do it. Tourism is one of Thailand's main businesses. Thai's will see that you are taken care of. Thailand is known as The Land of Smiles. Thailand weather is warm to very hot. Summer time is very hot and in the winter if you go north it will cool down allot at night. To the point you will want a light jacket. But really the best time to travel Thailand is any time.
