A guide for "Beginners" to
Thailand
The first two pages give you an overview over some places you
should visit anyway. The third page contains some practical tips for
inexperienced visitors.
So these pages should give you a first impression.
Language tips
for first time visitors
The Thai language is really very complex. Don't try to learn
it. For the Thais, however, the English language is very complex too.
This page is about these phenomenons. With a few sound examples.
