I have to admit to feeling a little sceptical about taking the family to Thailand, after all most of the stories you hear involve sex and drugs but once we arrived I knew it wasn’t a mistake. The first thing that strikes you is how beautiful the country is, something that is not publicized often enough in my opinion.

Perhaps it’s a bit of a cliché but we planned our trip to stay in Bangkok because that was the one place above all others that had plenty of information and some excellent reviews. When we first arrived we were all lost for words. Sights like the floating market are even more spectacular in the flesh than they are in any martial arts film. While it is obviously geared towards tourists, it manages to retain an incredible amount of dignity even while packed with Western tourists. If you’re looking for a proper market then Pratunam is the place to go. Above all else, the smells are something that will stay with me forever. In fact, my entire stay in the beautiful city of Bangkok will remain a memory etched into my brain.
