With the recent Full Moon signaling the start of Yi-Peng & Loy Krathong celebrations in Thailand, I’ve been missing my homeland a lot. Loads of friends have inquired about Thailand’s special long-staying tourist visa and you can find more information about that here. While it’s hard for me personally to write a short blog post about my home country, when blogger and traveler Jennifer Renner asked to do a guest post, I was happy to have her share what she thinks most first-time visitors need to know about Thailand. Although we’re not traveling too much these days, it’s good to plan ahead for when we can finally travel!
