Its one of those countries I do visit 3-4 times a year just to get away from Malaysia.

Food is great, massages are cheap and I know my way around so, its decent.

I don't blame you for choosing Thailand. I think its a little bit more entertaining than what you get in Malaysia, especially West Malaysia.
Thai politics have been very entertaining this year. Not to be jocular, but there is something quite serious taking place now.

The smartest assessment that I have heard of it all summed it up as the successional conflict between royalists and anti-royalists. It is just taking place before the death of King Bhumipol.

Fascinating times here. And yes, the chow is amazing.
