I went here a long time ago, but I hope to return soon, if not to visit the sites then to see my Aunty.
I remember it being a vibrant place and full of beautiful things. I hate it when people talk about Thailand being dirty and full of lady boys but you get that any where in the world!
Thailand is no more dusty than Spain or any other hot country.
In my opinion, go to Thailand yourself and see this amazing place.
