-- The British cemetery for the POWs that worked on the death railway (The Bridge on the River Kwai) -- and saw that many multiples of Thais died for every western soldier who died -- The awesome canal boats, that stop to drop people off and pick people up in under 20 seconds. -- Malls with endless 5 foot and 10 foot shops -- MBK mall has 3,000 shops in it! -- More more more malls: MBK is across from Siam, which is next to Central World, which is across the street from Gaysorn, which is next to The Market, which is a block away from Platinum, and it goes on and on. -- Thailand's air and space museum, where they proudly display the remains of a U.S. plane they shot down in WWII, along with a bunch of their own aircraft. -- Amazing beaches -- of course. -- The Thailand Museum of Science and Industry, which was awesome. -- Street food, so much street food. -- Shops selling nothing but electric fans, shops selling ancient typewriters, shops selling vintage cameras, and oh so much more.
And so much more, of course. Every day was an adventure. I was there two years and I miss it.
Travel to different places (or even to places you've been before) does bring novelty which stimulates the mind.
