Blog#6: This is my first trip alone (Tomoki)

 I tripped Thailand for a week. It was the first time to travel alone. Before going to Thailand,  I bought only airplane tickets. Reservations of hotels were made in Thailand. It was rainy season in Thailand, so hot and wet. During my stay, it was almost sunny days, very lucky. I could make some friends, hotel manager, Sheff, and backpacker. We always used English when we talked. I couldn't speak and read Thai. But Thais can speak English very well, so I was not hard to tell my mind.
 I was so bored at hotels. I judged to be outside as possible as. Thai land's shops were opened at 24:00. I could play all day with my friends!
 Someone says Thais rip foreign people off. But I was ripped off only once. Tuktuks and taxis always try to rip off, but restaurants and any other shops does never try to rip off, I thought. If you are careful only taking tuktuks, your trip will be nice.
This is the reclining bud. Really big!
Thailand national railways use Japanese trains which were retired in Japan.

  1. Thanks for your travelogue and photos - it looks like you had fun there. Did you go to Bangkok only? I saw the reclining buddha when I went there too. It is really huge. Was it pretty easy to get a hotel once you got there? I hope you will be able to travel again sometime soon.

    1. I went to Ayuthaya and Pattaya too, but I couldn't spend much time there. It was very easy to understand how to book the hotels. And there are not many people because it was rainy season. So it was a part of reason to get hotels easier.
