The cuisine is excellent, security is more or less assured, Wi-Fi is widely available, the society is very accepting, and above all, the country has magnificent sceneries and dozens of exotic trails. The fact that it is also the plastic surgery capital of the world adds more gloss to Thailand’s shiny reputation as a perfect destination.

It is also somewhat inexpensive and naturally endowed with excellent beaches, mountains that provide scenic trails, as well as jungles for wildlife lovers. Mayan ruins are also a notable attraction.
