Yes well I've been over there and things are not clear cut as people who haven't lived there may think. Normally there is always a way to stay but you might have to pay an agent to arrange a visa for you.

Thanks again for everything. I do like sour so I'm always up for tasting new things. Normally the sweet things are just too sweet for me here. Yes the markets are jumping even at 530am. I used to go to

Thanks! Yes a real coffee culture has developed in Thailand. They grow beans in different areas, mostly in the north. He offers cold press too. I go by there all the time and today he was playing chess

Thanks so much for the reblog! Well appreciated :)
