“The quiet before the storm….”
The last holiday before the world was about to change. Throughout the break we watch the first effects of Covid which exploded shortly after we came back.
Lots of adventures and lots of temples. We travelled the whole country of Thailand with a relaxing conclusion in Phuket. We watched the news closely as Covid 19 started to take hold of the world.
Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country located in Southeast Asia on the Indochinese Peninsula. It is bordered by Myanmar to the northwest, Laos to the northeast and east, Cambodia to the southeast, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia to the south, and the Andaman Sea to the southwest. Bangkok is the capital and largest city.
Thailand is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a population of over 66 million people. The official language is Thai and the official religion is Theravada Buddhism. The economy of Thailand is the second-largest in Southeast Asia and the 20th largest in the world by nominal GDP.
Thailand is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches, ancient temples, and vibrant culture. Some of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand include Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Koh Samui.
During World War II, British prisoners of war are forced to build a railway bridge over the River Kwai in Burma for their Japanese captors. Colonel Nicholson, a British officer, refuses to compromise with the Japanese, leading to a clash of wills. Despite the harsh conditions and the relentless pressure, Nicholson becomes obsessed with building a bridge of exceptional quality, seeing it as a symbol of British engineering prowess. However, his actions have unintended consequences, as his men become increasingly demoralized and the bridge itself becomes a target for Allied forces.
The Golden Triangle is a captivating region where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge. Historically known for its opium production, it's now a popular tourist destination offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
Visitors can explore ancient temples, vibrant local markets, and stunning river landscapes. The Mekong River, which flows through the region, offers opportunities for river cruises and visits to hill tribe villages. The Golden Triangle also boasts a rich cultural heritage, with diverse ethnic groups and traditions.
