Thailand is my absolute favorite place to visit in Asia for a number of reasons. First off, everything is cheap there, and I can use it as a "hub" to fly anywhere else in the region I want to go to. Secondly, the people are amazingly friendly and sweet. I love the land of smiles. I could go on and on...

Krabi is a beautiful place to visit. It's never congested with tourists and the scenery is spectacular.

This is Phra Nang. Named after a princess, whose spirit supposedly inhabits this cave.

I can't imagine how people might climb these rockfaces, but I've seen people doing it (with gear, of course).

Up in Chiang Mai, Wat Doi Suthep is totally stunning... on a big hill (or mountain?) overlooking the city.

I bought one of these bells and it hangs in my apartment.

The stairs up the Temple of Heaven.

A beautiful sunset in Bangkok.

Here is a rare sight. The arrival hall at Bangkok airport, empty. If only it could be this calm on the days when I arrive.

The view while flying over the Gulf of Thailand. Not many Thai people actually get to see this view (or fly on airplanes, which I think is a little sad).
