When I got to Thailand I was pleasantly surprised to see that my accommodations were phenomenal. It was a definitely not a scam or a rip-off. I got a bargain for sure. I was staying for a month in the same spot and checked-in to the hotel and settled in. I didn’t need to take a nap or anything as I was still in the same time zone and had no jet lag obviously. I decided I should probably just go to the beach and try and get some sort of a tan slowly so I wouldn’tlook like a lobster. I went for a walk along the beach and couldn’t help but eve’s drop some conversations. Most of the people here were from all over asia. I had decided to jump in to a conversation with some Chinese people. They were shocked that I knew any Chinese. Although, they quickly found out that it wasn’t so hot, but still invited me to have dinner with them later that night.
