Perception and Prejudice

In speaking with someone else who recently visited Thailand, I found that our travels already have something in common: people judge you and your trip before you even leave!

Here is a compilation of some of the things I have heard from excited/concerned people in my life:

Pros:
The food is amazing! The best fruit smoothies!
They have the BEST beaches!
You will always feel safe because people there are so respectful. You are getting prayer hands and bows every morning and all day.

Cons:
It's a third world country!
You're going to get sick/dengue/malaria! Dengue feels like you are being crushed by an elephant.
White slavery exists out there. Don't get kidnapped and turned into a slave!

HAHA WHAT??

The tickets are paid in full my friends. So, let's keep the commentary positive! There's no going back now, and I couldn't be more excited!

Tropical fruits, Buddhas and beaches alllll daaayyyy...

aww yeaaaaa

Surprisingly, no one has mentioned Thai massage to me. I am so looking forward to a good massage!
