Nadeem Firasta comments : I was just curious why did you not draw any reflections on the life of the people of Thailand, but instead chose to focus on how the accommodations are and where the shopping is good?
Maybe I missed your part 1 and 2 and so I missed all that.
Did you go to Chiang Mai district? I wanted to backpack the hills there but could not do so on account of dearth of time (lame excuse, i know). Any tips on backpacking Thailand?
