I totally agree with you regarding mortar.
I’m very glad to hear that you plan to travel to Thailand. When will you expect the visit?
There are various places that I would like to recommend for you…
If you love sea, I suggest Pattaya that is not far away from Bangkok or Phuket that is situated in the South of Thailand.
If you love mountains, I suggest Chiengmai, in the North of Thailand.
If you love historical site, I suggest Ayutthaya that is very near Bangkok.
In Bangkok, you may visit Wat Phra Kaew or Temple of the Emerald Buddha or you may go for shopping at many large shopping malls here.
You are all welcome to Bangkok.
p.s. I live in Nonthaburi that is next to Bangkok and would love to meet you all. ;)
