We’re thrilled to be back online with the Thai Language and Culture blog after a couple of months off. I’m especially excited to write about Thailand and the language and culture of this fascinating country since I just booked a trip there for next month. This will be my fourth time visiting Thailand, and I’m sure it won’t be the last! Something about this country just keeps you craving more. Maybe it’s the mouth-watering spicy cuisine. Or maybe it’s the inspiring temples. Or maybe it’s the islands, with their beautiful beaches and abundant marine life. Or maybe it’s just the Chang beer and the wild parties all over the place. Whatever it is, Thailand is a special place that everyone should visit at least once. Before you get started on planning a trip here, though, there are a few things you should read up on. Luckily I’ve done the legwork for you to make it easy. Here are 15 great posts from a few years of blogging that will give you a solid introduction into Thailand, the language and culture, and some of the many incredible places you can visit.<\/p>\n

A travel tale of my first trip to Bangkok a few years ago. Although I didn’t like the city so much on my first visit, it has since grown on me and I’d even love to live there some day.<\/p>\n
