PART 1. Songkran Festival 2010

From a tourist point of view - Songkran Festival 2010

Visiting Thailad is always exciting for me. First, is the food that I always miss all the time, and coming back to my country wherein everything taste blunt compared to the spice of Thai Food. Second is the warmth of the people, next to my country of course (Philippines) and last is the similarity between both countries.

The only advantage of Thailand, is the absence of Catholicism. So sex is not a taboo, and just a past time. Next is homosexuality, wherein, they do not have any issues or sidebars regarding it. Althought the population of gays, bi, transgender is almost equal with Thailand, in the Philippines, it is still not widely accepted, specially when it comes to your close family knit group.

In Thailand, you can do what you want, and people will not really care even if you do outrageous acts in the streets, same thing with homosexuality.
You can hug, kiss, hold hands, or embrace one another in the street if you are both of the same gender. We will discuss in a seperate article regarding the openess of homosexuality in Thailand.

Forgot...the last one why I love Thailand? BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS CHEAP!!

Now, what's new with Thailand this Songkran of 2010? compared to the last time Songkran? Find out in the next article in this blog site
