THAILAND - LAND OF SMILES
“Addictive!” This is how most visitors describe Thailand. After your first visit, you just have to go back again. Today we are speaking with Margaret who came here with her boyfriend Eric on holiday and never went home.
Margaret, a writer: I come from the UK but I am living in Thailand at the moment. My boyfriend and I only came here for a holiday but we liked it so much that we stayed. We rented a house in the south of Thailand. I think Thailand is a perfect place to live – it’s cheap, hot,
and inspiring.
We’ve been here for a year and I’ve written two novels so far. Eric is happy here too. He’s had lots of free time since we moved. He’s already done a scuba diving course and a cookery course! We both love Thai food so I think it’s a good idea. He has recently started his own business – a small restaurant on the beach. But he isn’t working there right now because he has gone trekking in the jungle with his friends.
People often ask me what I like most about living in Thailand. Well, apart from the weather, the food and the relaxed lifestyle, I like the fact that it is close to
194
other interesting places. We’ve been to Vietnam, Laos,
Cambodia, Bali and Malaysia. We have seen the Marble
Mountains and the caves of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam.
We have walked along white sandy beaches and we
have done snorkeling around Bamboo Island in
Cambodia. We have seen a lot of exotic fish. We have also visited a great number of
Buddist temples. They have made a great impression on us. I can’t imagine my life
without Thailand.
