Thailand offers a diversity of natural splendor, places of historical interest (including ancient Gothic ruins), charming towns, excellent tourist facilities, heritage buildings and beautiful cottages, a gossamer of roads, lush greenery and off course friendly pathways.......

No none of those things attract me to Thailand. Firstly, for me, its the lack of stress, as soon as I walk into the arrivals hall at Don Muang Airport I feel all the stress leave me, I forget all my worries and problems, and am able to relax. After that its the combination of fun, funky food, fine friends combined with great weather, beaches, and value for money.
