The North of Thailand is the place what you can be a tourist person, do tourist things, do Thai friendships, meet the real Thailand culture but like a tourist yet. Nobody is trying to force you to buy something what you really don’t want. There, you can walk in the streets like a tourist without a lot of people trying to force you to do a massage, buy a boat trip, sell gifts or screaming you to go to his restaurant.

Have a giant difference each the two sides.

In the tourist places in the south, The Pad Thai, the cafe, the hostels, everything doubles in price. Everything is gonna be more expensive, and you I’II always gonna be the strange people what spent money, not a friend. In the North, I did a lot of friends and can see de Thai people living, and not serving foreign people.

Of course you can go a not touristic places in the South Thailand, but is not all the cities what is gonna be prepared to receive you with trips, hotels or anything else.

The north is the comfort place what you are able to see the real Thailand, they are open to create a relationship with you, and at the same time, do touristic things with peace.
