While the country seems to have the name Thailand, I remember well that many people there still called it Siam. Especially the elderly people. I have been to Thailand before, but to enter the country as a military baboon is not the same thing as entering a country and seeing it with fresh unadulterated eyes…
So Sveta and I are going to get a trip together to Thailand. Sveta wants to swim and I want to see another country in a tourist eye frame. We also have discussed that Thailand may just be a good spot to buy property and have a Winter home located there. There seems to be a good set up that allows people (foreigner) to buy a flat and you pay someone a nominal fee to clean it and care for the place while you are not around. This also is a beginning ticket to working toward citizenship of Thailand. Sounds good to me…
It is visa free for both of us for a period of one month and that is always a criteria for us to travel to another country. If Sveta has to get a visa then we do not travel there and it is starting to look like many countries are joining the Russian bandwagon…
I see that there is a whole bunch of Russians that travel to Thailand and there seems to be a bunch of great travel deals to Thailand. I have to say that Russians know what countries to travel to and where to get the deals traveling. Russians are big on world travel and while many parts of the world grumble about them damn Russians, they always love that money that the Russians bring to their doorstep as they cross the borders…
So maybe soon Sveta and I will be on our way to Thailand…
