Thailand and the One Thousand Buddhas
Without a doubt Thailand is one of the most famous and vibrant countries in South East Asia that no backpacker can skip. Within the South East Asia region, it's one of the safest and most developed countries; with good roads although not necessarily good drivers, with a decent connection within the country, a railway network that connects the main cities and most of the country. Last summer, I was lucy enough to explore a good portion of the country, so I'll divide this post according to the regions I went to and the recommendations I consider appropiate. BANGKOK The capital of Thailand, and unnavoidably the fist stop for most South East Asia trips is a beautiful and perfect disaster. It's a massive city, with more population than countries like New Zealand and the unspoken rule for locals to try to rip off tourists. Once you get off the plane, your first duty is to get to your hostel, which hopefully will be near the KaoSan road, for reasons I'll explain late...
