I can now tick off Thailand from my bucket list. But I am looking forward to go back whenever I can as I believe there's still so much to see. I am also very proud to say that this is my first backpacking experience. Uhuh! It was awesome but kinda hard. I was travelling with my father and I am lucky enough because he's quite familiar with the places in Thailand as he used to be a volunteer in Mae Sot. That's the time I was living alone for almost a year. And I'm happy I get to see the place where lived and volunteered. But that's for another post. We're able to go to 4 different places in Thailand: Bangkok, Mae Sot, Chiang Mai, and Ayutthaya.
