» I have a list of desirables for a trip that’s relaxing and satisfying, a getaway that leaves stress back in the city. First is an unspoiled natural environment with a quality all its own. Then comes a peaceful social environment that is in harmony with the natural one, and where the lifestyle and occupations of the local people have a special, local character.

B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 25/01/2015
» In Thailand, the cool season lasts for three or four months, but during that time there are only a couple of weeks when it really gets cold.
