Was going to Central America from Jan-April, but now you've got me thinking about Thailand. Damn my utter lack of willpower when it comes to girls.
A few questions: 1) Are internet cafes set up so I can use my own laptop? 2) Is it a problem meeting/dating girls if you obviously aren't there for the long haul? 3) Are the girls as approachable in cities other than BKK? (not sure I could handle the noise/pollution/general aggravation of the big city) 4) Is petty theft a problem? Should I only bring stuff that won't it kill me to get stolen? (was thinking about buying a cheap laptop instead of bringing my nice one) 5) Is malaria a problem either in Chiang Mai or in the islands? 6) Is the traffic and pollution as bad in BKK as they say? Thanks |

5) Is malaria a problem either in Chiang Mai or in the islands? Thanks [/ QUOTE ] I'm curious about this too. I took Larium when I was there and it gave me the worst nightmares you could ever imagine. Woke up screaming in a pool of sweat and decided that I'd rather risk malaria than go through that again. I was told by a doctor up there that malaria isn't really a risk unless you're within 5 miles or so from the Burmese border. Is that true? |

Thanks [/ QUOTE ] 1. I haven't had any problems using my laptop in various internet cafes. Wireless is available in many locations too. Here's a link to a big list of free Wifi spots in Thailand. http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/wifi.htm 2. I haven't heard of anyone ever having a problem meeting girls in this country. 3. Approachable indeed. 4. Never had a problem, just don't leave anything in a taxi or you'll never see it again. If you somehow remembered the taxi number, you have a chance. 5. Not a problem, but use repellent if mosquitos like you and you are outside during evening hours. 6. It's bad but I don't drive and I know to take the skytrain or subway during peak traffic times. Taxi's at night are usually no problem. Today I was down at Lumpinee park and the air was very nice. Walking to and from the park it was smoggy as hell of course. After it rains it is usually cleaned up for a while. |
