There are no people in the world who don’t enjoy travelling. It’s one of the most exciting ways of spending our leisure. Some people prefer to travel around their native country, studying the national history and culture. But there is another group of tourists, who are fond of visiting some exotic places on our planet. My family is not an exception from this type. My name is Joan. I live in Wales. I am sixteen. Every summer my parents have got vacation. We have already been to most of the West European countries. But last year there was a trip of all my life. We traveled to Thailand. It is a beautiful country with a rich culture, just south of China. People call it “the jewel of south-east Asia” for a good reason. Its tropical climate, white sandy beaches and ancient temples make it a perfect holiday destination. Thai people are good-looking. They have got black hair, dark eyes and light brown skin. The Thai people are friendly, generous and kind. Most of them live in villages. They work as farmers and fishermen. Family life is very important in Thailand, and families often eat together. Thai food is very spicy and includes curries, fish, seafood, soups and noodles. Thai people love to enjoy themselves. Popular leisure activities include Thai boxing and watching traditional dance shows. They also celebrate festivals throughout the year. Thailand is a wonderful country. Its fascinating sights, rich cultural history and warm-hearted people make it unique. I strongly recommend you to spend your holidays there if it is possible.
