Thailand




The next stop on my magnificent journey was all the way across the world in Thailand! After watching the travel channel 21 best international beaches, I absolutely fell in love with Thailand. The place on the island is located at about 7 degrees north, and 98 degrees east. There’s something about the fact that I have no idea how to speak Taiwanese, and the beaches are incredibly exotic. You know the pictures on TV with incredible beaches that almost look fake, well if you want to see those beaches come to Thailand. They are probably the nicest beaches I have ever been to in my life. Thailand is on a subduction fault line. If you have no idea what a subduction fault line is I am more than happy to explain. So pretty much one plate goes over the other one, and the one on the bottom has a lot of magma that starts to bubble up. Over time the magma starts to bubble up to the surface. Inevitably there is so much pressure from the magma that the volcano erupts.
A lot of people believe that Thailand in time is going to have either a large volcano eruption, or a huge earthquake. We all know that in 2004 Thailand had a massive Tsunami due to an earthquake off the coast in Sumatra. Thailand has seemed to recover from the tsunami incredibly well. Well now I’m gonna go back down to the beach. Sucks for you that you can’t be with me. See Ya!
