Thailand is not overrated , you just need to know how to fit things in your itinerary.
Before my 8-day family trip to Thailand, my very “Indian” mental image of the country was pretty much limited to Phuket’s Bangla Road—neon lights, loud music, and endless parties.But after actually being there, I realised how unfair that picture is.
Thailand is so much more than its nightlife. Over eight days, I got to experience peaceful temples, beautiful islands, incredible food, local markets, sunsets that didn’t need a filter, and some of the kindest people. We even stepped into the party scene for a bit—purely for research and it confirmed that it’s just not my vibe but my brother enjoyed it.
I tried to plan this trip in a way that let me experience every side of the country, and I’m so glad I did. The only things I couldn’t fit in were watching a Muay Thai fight and going diving/snorkelling at Koh Tao. I guess every good trip should leave you with a reason to come back.
