Thailand!!! Beautiful beautiful Thailand!!!!! I decided Thailand was the most beautiful, stunning amazing place in all the world (of course this impression probably not hurt by the comparaison from where we had been with the warmth, ability to swim and parade around in a bikini without being gawped at, sun, sand, sea and CHEAP food, drink.
