i’m glad that you found our country interesting. :) i love it when foreigners see our country in a positive light and enjoy their stay here.

a little bit of tidbit, Magellan was the first to come here in the Philippines in the 1500s. He’s a Portuguese but sailed under the Spanish flag. We were colonized by the Spanish for 300 years, Americans for 30 years and the Japanese for 3 years, thus the variety of culture. :)

A million people have been to Thailand but it’s comparatively rare to see posts like this, about countries that are right by there but less visited. Nice to see it covered, and nice to have good tips on practical issues like SIM cards.
