Travelling is my joy of living. Sit back relax and come with me.
The easiest and fastest way to travel from the North to the South of Thailand is by air. Only a two hour flight. Surprising to see a huge lineup of passengers waiting to enter the airport in Chiang Mai. No one without a boarding pass was permitted to enter. A security check before entering the […]
