Thailand has great beaches, friendly people and excellent food. A notable phrase in Thai is “sabai sabai” which means “easy easy”. This phrase captures the laid-back nature of Thailand. There are glitzy urban corridors, relaxed beaches and ancient temples in Thailand.

A typical “soi” which means an alleyway or street.
