East Asia is traditionally a popular destination for many tourists, who do not miss well-known places such as Bangkok or Pattaya. However, Matouš has a different experience with Thailand - he mainly travels to northern Thailand around the city of Chiang Mai, which is different from the touristy south. The beaches alternate there with mountains, to which Matouš likes to go on his motorbike and meet the locals in the village and get to know their culture. In the podcast, in addition to travel tips, we will also give you practical instructions on how to behave as a tourist in Thailand. Although Thailand is an open country, it is also a spiritual country with great respect for Buddhism. The rules of conduct in temples and religious places must therefore be respected. Matouš and I also talked about the political upheavals in the country since 2014 and the relationship of Thais to the king, which is a big taboo in Thailand. If you are planning a trip to Thailand or just want to get a glimpse into another interesting world, the podcast is right here for you. We wish you a pleasant listening experience!
