  • Perspective

    Matt brings great information to the table for Westerners, particularly Americans, to get a feel for how things are in Thailand, as not that many Americans seem to make the Journey. I think Mattโ€™s information will be helpful for people to make that commitment to go to Thailand. Keep up the great work, Matt!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
