Explanation

  • Sharebar

Before visiting Thailand, one can read guidebooks and have friends describe the sites to see. But you cannot imagine or perhaps even believe the beauty and wonder until you have seen and experienced the Temple of The Emerald Buddha, the mountains in the North or The Sanctuary of Truth for yourself. Words are often inadequate to describe an experience, or when something is described in words, it may not seem possible or feasible until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing.
