Thais friends is the best you can get for money!
Total in 3 trips I did spend more than 7 months in thailand! Very little was around big popular tourist places. I meet genuine people, but what the country itīself do to their own people is discusting. Thailand could have been a very nice place to live, if they did some few changees, but then we would not feel like a king with our small money!
