Why Thailand?

In my mind, Thailand is my second home. I lived there for only two years in the 1960's as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Rural Community Development, but have revisited many times since 2000. The Thai people seemed to welcome each visit and with each visit it is harder and harder to leave. The friendliness and graciousness of the people, the beautiful landscapes, the tempting foods, and the Thai culture make one feel so relaxed and welcome. The Thai people forgive us "farongs" our shortcomings and accept us as we are. With each visit I try and do something new or see a new location or witness a new event. There is so much to discover and learn in this amazing country. While I lived in the fabulous northeast (Isaan) part of Thailand, I have had the opportunity to travel to many other parts of the country. Yes, they are all equally fantastic. Each area I have visited has its own charm and beauty. I can relate only my impressions and ideas and do not want anyone to think that my comments are anymore than that. I hope to offer some history, news, travel tips and suggestions, and answer questions of a general nature on my Thai experience. Since this is my first blog post, I am anxious and nervous about what will happen. I do not expect to write something every day but do hope to post often or at least once a week. Hopefully you will have comments and questions to help guide this blog. The idea of this blog came as a result of questions and comments I have had from my web page http://www.h2t3tours.com/ and my You Tube Channel H2T3tours . Please feel free to check them out and offer any suggestions or comments you might have.
