thailand is awesome
you just need to make sure when you are barganing to go for less then half to start with.. trust me it helps. dont eat meat from side stalls, buy alcohol from 24/7 shops coz its so damn cheap. if you go to patong beach in phuket go to dang and restaurant 6, you can get great thai meals for $1.50. go to clubs such as seduction, tiger, safari and banana. At those places there are less working girls (prositutes) lol more tourists. if you want some thing with local thai people then to go galaxy.. its almost like thai karioke
