Gordon ********

India is a fascinating country to visit and

West coast beaches. North/East for mountains

And of course Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi and Bhodgaya.

Side trips to Nepal are a treat.

Great medical care if that concerns you.

PM me if you need more info I’m a frequent traveler.

What are the advantages of using Airbnb for short-term rentals in Pattaya and Bangkok compared to other platforms?

@Lynnette ******
