My tour with Thailand continues, but I would say the tour is only ok, because it's filled with infommercial-like attitudes, whenever they took us to a tour destination, it would end up as being a leather shop, or gem store, or somewhere where the clerks prey on you as you are ready to spend money, they are ready for you to dish out any $. And the tour food was not good at all! I think that might be part of the reason I lost weight during the 2 week period. The palace was pretty neat, but it was super hot because we had to wear long pants/jeans, and the safari zoo reminded me of back when I was in Taiwan, when dad would take us to see animals wakling about outside our cars, back when you're a kid, it was just a whole different magic, now... it's totally different! The dolphin show was ok, for sure sea world was better, and what's up with the whole bunch of people from India... is Thailand a vacation destination spot because it's so close and cheap? We stayed at the Royal Benja and I thought we were staying in the country India!!! That was really weird.
