I guess most people’s first vision of Thailand is arriving at the airport in Bangkok and driving into the city. Not me.
I filled out some forms and was stamped out of Malaysia and into Thailand, crossing the Sadao border checkpoint in Thailand’s far south. The difference with Malaysia was distinct. The big wide road with dusty shop fronts either side was much busier and more chaotic than Malaysia. Big trucks and cars pumping down the street, motorcycles weaving in between, some with side-cars selling food, all of them kicking up big clouds of dust and smoke from the street.
