Subject: Greetings from sunny Bangkok! ☀️

Dear Mary,

I hope you are doing well! I have just arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, and checked into my hotel. The weather here is nice, warm, and sunny every day.

I really like the local food—it is hot and spicy! Tomorrow, I plan to visit the Grand Palace and try some famous street food at the night market. I have attached a photo of my first Thai meal for you.

How about you? Do you plan to visit any places during the coming holiday?

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,
Sam
