you can spend a night in the north of the country having a few beers with friends you just met and if you decide to change your plans drastically and go to the southern islands, you can do it without

could indicate that Thailand is a dangerous place, the truth is that it is quite the opposite but you will need a few tips to make the most of your trip. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So here are 5 tips for traveling to Thailand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Tips for traveling to Thailand &#8211; Security<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I am going to be totally transparent on the subject of security in Thailand since it is impossible to cover the sun with a finger. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Thailand is a completely safe place but you must understand some things. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The country has a very complex political history which has meant that several groups in their attempt to destabilize it have made attacks on one of its main sources of income: tourism (you can search for news about it).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In addition to the above, Thailand is the quintessential vacation destination for English, Australians and now Chinese. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When a destination begins to receive large numbers of foreigners, it is very likely that social problems that are not entirely pleasant begin to arise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Despite all this, the truth is that during the time I traveled around the country I never felt an insecure moment. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I met foreigners who have made this country their home and could not be happier to have made that decision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The problems of insecurity that you find in Thailand will be found in any other destination, but since it is a different country from which you know nothing, you are more susceptible to any type of negative information from it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Bad news flies fast, good news never.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I am writing this to put things as they are since if you find any article, news or comment from someone on the subject of security then take it with the approach it deserves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The risk of traveling to Thailand is the same risk that you expose yourself in any city and you must take the same precautions, in the end it is a matter of common sense. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you are interested in reading more safety tips for traveling abroad you can do so in this article I wrote: <\/span><\/span><a

to me. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Thai food is absolutely delicious and cheap, the perfect combination to lose your figure.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You can eat full meals for $ 1. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is true that the portions are smaller than we are used to but in case you are hungry you can order a second portion, that is 2 dollars and you will eat like a king.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure

just one food dish it would be Khao Soi. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I won&#8217;t tell you what it is just that you have to try it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align:

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is a phrase that stuck with me and that when I traveled to Thailand I always remembered it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I do not remember well how the scene was going but the phrase was: &#8220;The city has it&#8221;, referring to the fact that it is easy to lose yourself in everything you can experience in Thailand, totally true.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, in this country one of the most famous mass festivals in the world occurs every month: the full moon party. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is estimated that in its most popular months, December and January, the party reaches more than 40,000 people. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When I attended in October there were about 20,000.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16319\"

style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Once again, turn to your common sense. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align:

soda for the flavor . <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Drugs are easily accessible to tourists but severely punished, avoid them at all costs. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And the music won&#8217;t stop until dawn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Enjoy

filmed in the Maya Bay. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The funny thing is that this island is anything but a paradise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16320\"

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> everywhere, walk among hundreds of people on the beach or be in a place where you will not have tranquility to admire its beauty. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(As a cultural fact, the author of the book La Playa, Alex Garland, was inspired by a beach in El Nido, Philippines but decided to change the location)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Thailand has many islands to choose from. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some almost completely deserted and with impressive landscapes. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Do not limit yourself to the places that travel agencies offer, if you want true Thai paradises then visit: Koh Phayam, Koh Lipe, Koh Lanta and even the Koh Tao diving paradise.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you want to see something totally different then visit the Khao Sok Nature Reserve<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Another place that they include in almost any travel itinerary is Phuket and personally I do not recommend it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This place became the party center for foreigners and that made all kinds of activities take place for people who just want to \u201cgo wild\u201d for a couple of days. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is a place with beautiful beaches but the atmosphere in which it is located does not make it the best tourist destination.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16321\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16321\" style=\"width: 792px\" class=\"wp-caption

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In order for an elephant to be trained to carry tourists on its back, it has to go through a process called \u201cbreaking the spirit\u201d as a child, after which it is forced to work strenuous days until it literally cannot take any more and is abandoned to its luck. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I wrote an article about it and the video I

them is a Buddhist temple, the people who manage them are anything but spiritual. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As of today, two centers have closed as they found evidence of smuggling of tigers and other animal species.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The tigers are
