Every fibre of my body loves Thailand. I love Thailand for so many reasons, I could write a whole book on it.

We’ve lived in Thailand, and visited several times since, and still consider it one of the most special places in the whole world.

As soon as I step outside, the heat wraps around me, and the smells waft up my nostrils; despite the stench of durian, rotten fruit, and previous evening’s garbage and falang vomit, I feel alive. Two steps later, I’ll smell incense and pork roasting and all will be good again.

Every step in Thailand brings you something new and exciting to the senses to savour: tastes, smells, warmth, humility, friendliness and spiritual peace.

If you’re thinking about visiting Thailand, and you’re wondering why so many people love Thailand, then below are just a few of the reasons why I love Thailand and you need to visit there this year.

Reasons why I love Thailand

Below are some of the biggest reasons why I love Thailand and reasons why you should add Thailand to your list of places to visit.

1. There is freedom to live life without limits

Freedom

Australia is a culture that is rigid with rules, fees, fines, taxes and expectations. Our natural state of being is freedom. We actually hate being placed in boxes as it limits our ability to thrive and grow.

I love what seems to be almost an absence of rules in Thailand. Despite this people generally go about living their life making responsible decisions and being kind to one another.

2. The delicious Thai cuisine

Thai is the only style of food that I could eat three meals a day for the rest of my life and be deliriously happy.

Thai people create dishes with ingredients, when separated from the whole, stink and look inedible, but when joined together with the others creates an explosion of flavors that leave you desiring only that food for the rest of your life.

Thai curries have spices and flavor palettes that you won’t find in any other curry. Whether it’s a khao soi or a green curry or panang curry, they are so varied and delicious you could eat them all day without getting bored.

Pad Thai is simple and yet are always packed with flavor. Don’t even get me started on mango sticky rice!

I even learned how to cook Thai food while there… sort of.

3. It’s a unique culture
