sutnyod Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Not sure that I can suggest 7, but howabout:- Sukkothai - Ayuthaya Well, if we go by whole towns I'd suggest the old city of Chiang Mai and the dwellings of the sea gypsies. @Jet Gorgon: Buddha Park Nongkhai?

canuckamuck Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 1) I wonder why people prefer to drive in two lanes at once 2) I wonder why there are no breakfast restaurants 3) I wonder why stores open at 10 or 11 when most people seem to get up around 6:30 4) I wonder why it so easy to barter with cops over fines/bribes 5) I wonder about the logic of having 30 identical fruit stands 6) I wonder why bus seats have the numbers on the back of the seats 7) I wonder why they wait till your done eating to appraise your bill by looking at the empty plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the lanes are so tiny, and by driving overlapping a lane, can accomodate 2 cars and smaller vehicles such as tuk tuk. 2. There are, but they're on the sidewalks. Coffee and Patonggo anyone? 3. That's the beauty of entrepreneurialship. 4. Because pigs in India probably make more than they do. 5. It's a govermental ploy to keep Thai people skinny and sexy. 6. People take them home, so it's a good way of keeping track? I really don't know. 7. Thai people like to think on their feet. And it's obvious they don't keep track of how many plates you eat at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantilley Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Assuming they all have to be man-made, as the New 7 Wonders all are, I'd choose: Muang Boran "The Ancient City" near Bangkok Wat Phra Kaew Wat Arun Reclining Buddha in Wat Pho Wat Doi Suthep, Chang Mai Khmer Ruins at Phimai Wat Phra Sing, Chiang Mai Very wat-centric, I know, but are there any other non-religious monuments worthy of a mention?

Goldenbead Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I will second Wat Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai and the limestone karsts in Krabi. On a cynical note, how about the traffic in BKK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertz Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 1. Wonder when Pattaya will be completed. 2. Wonder when tailors will learn to recognise me after I refuse every day for a month to buy yet another suit . 3. Wonder when girls will stop insisting I'm hansum. 4. Wonder when Phuket taxi drivers will learn they are too expensive for short trips. 5. Wonder when the passport control at BKK airport will be able to handle one plane load of passengers in less than 30 minutes. 6. Wonder when Soi 6 bars will turn the music down so can finally explore the bars there without suffering burst eardrums. 7. Wonder when I'll have enough time and money for a return trip.

Kerryd Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 What about Sri Thep in Petchabun ? The one site I was at had a couple ancient temples, dating back to the 6th and 13th centuries I believe. Nowhere near the state of preservation of places like Angkor Wat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
