My mini Mekong ferry is landing in Laos after a short trip. I look back with nostalgia to the other side of the Mekong.
Thailand is over there, just a stone’s throw away. Already I feel a deep longing for the land of the simple life.
The tourists come in droves …
… to the Kingdom of Thailand.
We backpackers also know, what’s good.
Tigers are already there…
… just like elephants, the former coat of arms of Siam.
In modern times tuk-tuks are the secret coat of arms for Thailand (-;
…and elegant Wats are the main sights.
The best thing about Thailand is the food…
…especially Papaya Salad, the best food under the sun.
Simply good!
Doubly good!
Doubly good!

Farewell Thailand…
And See you again!
