Remembering my trip to Thailand

I went to Thailand because it was visa-free and easy to get through customs. I didn't know about the situation in Thailand before I went, I just knew that no one from Changzhi went, only people from Henan. No one in my family went with me, so I went alone. Maybe I have a special affection for the Dai people, my first meal in college was at a Dai restaurant outside the south gate of the school. So, I went to Thailand first. I hadn't traveled alone for a long time, and I was a little scared. I couldn't sleep the night before I left, so I kept copying the book "Modern Chinese" tirelessly. I thought it would be dangerous, so I made an agreement with my mom to pick me up at the airport in Zhengzhou, but I didn't expect it to be such a life-saving decision. The process of going through customs was complicated, but luckily I was with a group, although the tour guide didn't like me. The 4-hour flight was exhausting, sitting in economy class with limited space and unable to move. But I was still looking forward to it, after all, I had never been there. When I was bored, I took out my phone's notepad and wrote about my miserable life. The group tour in Bangkok was not very pleasant, just some temples and palaces. The houses in Bangkok were not very well designed, just some gray boxes. Maybe the area we were in was not the bustling area of Bangkok, it felt like Bangkok was very run-down. But I loved the climate in Thailand, it was December, and I wore a short sleeve in Bangkok. The heat hit me, and I was super happy when I got off the plane. I highly recommend Pattaya, the island in the sun, the pure blue sea, and the clean white sand, which swept away the gloom in my heart. On the jet ski, I felt the pull of extreme sports, and on the Oriental Princess, I felt the classic Thai royal enjoyment. On the bridge to the shore, the breeze blew on my face, blowing the wind of freedom. The free tour in Bangkok was with three uncles and aunts from Henan. We took a cab to Siam Square and walked to Chinatown. Actually, Bangkok is quite modern, we just stayed in the suburbs before. Chinatown really has an international feel, I drank delicious bird's nest, it was worth the trip. On the way home, there was a new episode. One of the aunts who went to Chinatown with me had evil intentions and wanted me to go with her, I never thought she would do that. Luckily, I asked my mom to pick me up at the airport in advance, and I was finally spared. Thailand is still a country worth visiting, although it was banned after I came back, and the tour guide lost his job. I haven't been to Chiang Mai yet, and I probably won't be going anytime soon. If the security outside was better, we could go out and play more.
