I have just returned from a week in Thailand. As always we had a fantastic time. The best thing about Thailand is the people. They are always so hospitable, and coming from Singapore, that is like a breath of fresh air. Although not as clean and clinical as Singapore, Chiangmi and Bangkok have their own special characteristic that makes them such fun cities. Thailand known as the "Land of Smiles", truly lives up to its name.
Shopping is the best part and there is no shortage of cheap imitations of branded goods in Thailand. I bought a Rolex watch for SGD20. It worked for a week before it died on me. Well, it was fun though.
Food was good, although the Thais love their food hot. For people with untrained stomach this could be a problem. If you like seafood, you are in for a treat. Although a lttle pricey, this falls under the "must try" catagory when visiting Thailand.

hi speed,
after the first few visits to your blog at the initial stage i have totally forgotten about them. then there were only 2 articles.
now you are starting to write. are you in the tourist business? you write like one.
my several visits to segamat were always to the golf club and spending a night at the hotel. couldn't remember what it was called. there was one visit when the swallows also came. whole streets of swallows all the over.
my favourite was kluang where i joined the golf club by accident. that was in 1990. me and my friend drove up with segamat as our destination. wanted to be a member of segamat. but after reaching ayer hitam by the old trunk road, i gave up. that was about the furthest i would drive to play golf. and i play many years in kluang and made several friends there.
i always imagine myself driving from ayer hitam towards kluang, like driving through a time tunnel. then loo behold there is this laid back town, kluang. even with the ns highway, there is still the same experience from that stretch of road.
but kluang is prospering with many new shopping centres completed.
