Last post from me!

Hi everyone, I have some incredible information about the motivation of all tourists around the world that deciding to come for holiday in Thailand!  This information is from Research centre of Bangkok University since 2009.  The poll shows that Thai food is the most main motivation to draw up the tourists all around the world to come to Thailand. The second thing is place and Thai culture http://www.tourism.go.th/ [Accessed 15 April 2011].
  
However, I would like to research more that is Thai food still being in trend or not!  My first idea is about attractive place and culture in Thailand! By the way, this the reason why I have to do research about what are the main motivations of British people for choosing Thailand as a holiday destination.
Thank you for following my post all the times.
