Someone sums up the financial results, someone lists the achievements, someone shares with the world the great wisdom that he has gained during this period. We will celebrate our round date (six months of living abroad) beautifully - with a selection of the best photos of Thailand that we have taken during this time!

Since we moved to live in Thailand, many things have happened. We visited beautiful beaches, saw a lot of sights, went to Bangkok and Chiang Mai, traveled to Singapore, Laos and Bali (where we are now) ... And we also managed to fall in love and fall out of love with Thai cuisine, Olya started, and I managed without diets) ))

In general, to tell everything, you just need a huge article! Therefore, we decided not to load you with letters, but to please your eye with a selection of the most interesting photo of thailand which we have done in six months. After all, not only when traveling around Thailand, but also just in many walks along the streets, we do not part with the camera. So cool photos of Pattaya, beaches and islands of Thailand, as well as photos of Bangkok and other beautiful places, we have in abundance))

... And we will begin our selection, of course, with photos of the beaches of Thailand. It is 50 km from Pattaya. For six months of life in Thailand, we visited there twice.

Photos of the beaches of Pattaya. Main advantage Hat Nang Ram beach– not only white sand and beautiful landscapes. The point is also that few people know about it, and there are not very many people there yet.

We drive about 30 km towards Pattaya, and ... Of all the photos of the beaches of Pattaya, this is perhaps my favorite:
