Ah yes Kort it is a very interesting country indeed and I loved those marvellous Golden temples and giant Buddhas BUT I didn't enjoy the people there really! They just see us, tourists, as huge bank notes and that's all they care about! I didn't feel any spiritual connection there like I did in all my other travels where I met fantastic and TRUE people! I know I can go back to Israel and India in 10 years time and I will be welcome by the people I met there 15 years ago! I never got to create any bonds with any locals in Thailand! They smile a lot when U arrive somewhere but the smile disappears when they realize u're not gonna buy anything! I really felt out of place in Thailand! It's not the kind of things I'm after when I travel!
