If you have traveled in Thailand, I’m sure you may have probably come to the conclusion that if you’ve been to one Thai city – excluding Bangkok and Chiang Mai of course - you’ve been to them all. What I mean to say is that most town and cities in upcountry Thailand are relatively nondescript with their cement-block and egg carton architecture.

Of course this is somewhat a generalization, but it does have some merit in the eyes of a Westerner. Behind this obscurity of sameness, there’s lots of color and vitality in the alleyways and backstreets of Thai cities. So bottom line, don’t judge a book by its cover.
