THAILAND - LAND OF SMILES

“Addictive!” This is how most visitors describe Thailand. After your first visit, you just have to go back again. Today we are speaking with Margaret, a writer.

“I come from the UK but I am living in Thailand at the moment. My boyfriend and I only came here for a holiday but we liked it so much that we stayed. I think Thailand is a perfect place to live – it’s cheap, hot, and inspiring.

I’ ve written two novels since we arrived. Eric is happy here too. He’ s already done a scuba diving course and a cookery course. He has recently started his own business – a small restaurant on the beach. But he isn’t working there right now because he has gone trekking in the jungle.

People often ask me what I like about living in Thailand. Well, I like the weather, the food, the relaxed lifestyle. Besides, Thailand is close to other interesting places. We’ ve been to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Bali and Malaysia. We have walked along white sandy beaches and we have done snorkeling. We have seen a lot of exotic fish. We have also visited a great number of Buddhist temples. I can’t imagine my life without Thailand.
