I will be scratching off one item from my bucket list as I have finally managed to visit Thailand. It was a short trip but I can say that we have made the most out of our stay.

There are so many things to write about and so many things to share. I know that I am not obliged to make a thorough documentation but as a sign of gratitude to the numerous articles I have read that have greatly helped make our trip memorable, I decided to make one in return hoping that it will help other Thailand-first-timers.

This post will be the first of a series. Watch out for my impression of Thailand and the details on some items in our itinerary. For the meantime, here is an outline of our adventure:
