I didn't expect to find Thailand

The sun begins to slowly rise and dance on the horizon of the ocean while turning the sky into an amber red gold. The city natives and dwellers begin what seems to be a scorching hot day ahead. The greens and blues of this tropical paradise seem to come to life as each sunbeam touches them. The hustle and bustle gradually builds while locals set up their stalls and open up shop. You’ve never seen anything like it. The aromas of different kinds of food, some curious stares and some friendly smiles. The traveller is full of wonder, ready to explore what this island holds. He has never seen so many beautiful colours, tasted the variation of the flavour filled dishes, and heard a range of dialects as he tries to keep up with the island’s lingo. He starts to wander through the streets, taking pictures of everything he sees. Oh, the stories he’ll share with his children when he returns home are many. And this is one of the many culture rich cities you’ll find between and beyond the distant oceans of the world.
