Hey everyone, enjoy reading the posts here. I’m heading over to Thailand mid to end of July for around 5 weeks. Coming from Australia. Not a big partier. Would love to travel around a bit see as much as I can. And meet the local people. My question is quite broad, wondering what are the must see places to visit Also wondering if there might be something that needs to be done that often gets forgotten in preperation for the trip, even if you think it might be the simplest of things? Anybody recommend a travel insurance that’s suited for Thailand. Also thanks in advance for any replies.
Discussions about open or close on 26 Oct keep on going. The Thai Government declared 26 Oct 2017 as a public holiday.
This due the cremation of the most beloved and honored King Rama 9, Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Many Thai people and foreigners in Thailand would like to pay their respect at the cremation site in Bangkok or at alternative sites set up in every province.
I understand that not every visitor in Thailand really knows what King Rama 9 did for his people and country. I found this song in English (and subtitles) with a good explanation, so I hope you can stop the discussions and pay RESPECT to the Thai people and their late King during the ceremonial days of his cremation. Thanks.
