Travel Agent Central quotes Carlos Melia about Thailand | Travel Agent Central | On their recent travel update about Bangkok, Thailand, by Meagan Drillinger, they published the article “Bangkok is Back” including a few quotes on my own travel experiences during my two month of travel in Thailand, just at the same time that the floods were affecting some areas of the country. “I left Bangkok a few days ago, and I am happy to say that the city has gone back to the normal mode. Travelers are back, hotels and restaurants are looking crowded again, and the streets of Bangkok don’t show the sand bags that we have seen over the last few weeks. Bangkok is DRY and SAFE.” shared Carlos Melia
