Using the road less traveled is the way I like to do it also! You are right though, Many tourists don't go off the beaten path, the fear of getting lost or afraid of the unknown keeps them on the main streets. I have found that many of the poorer areas have some of the nicest people, most would offer you the shirt off their back if you needed one. Many that are born into the slums are kept there by the lack of opportunity, and comfort. It is home to them.
You are very courageous and I want to thank you for the tour of the area that you gave us. It is fascinating to see as I have read about the best parts of Thailand, but like everywhere else, there is a seedier side. I look forward to your posts! The photographs were awesome and very telling!
Thank you for joining!!!
You know how much fun it is to have you here at the challenge! It is always a pleasure to see you join #MarketFriday. Every week, it seems to grow in size, giving us new places to explore. Because of you and people like yourself, #MarketFriday has become successful. I am sure there are many times that much effort goes into putting these posts together. So much effort, so little time. There is a certain sense of warmth in my heart, and it is that of being thankful. I can’t thank you enough for being part of the challenge.
