There was this one tranny who was about 5'8/5'9 who was roided off his tits yet still worked the corner.
I wanted to have my photo taken with him/her but was too afraid to ask. Was builta smaller mike tyson in a wig!
I didn't want this to happen!
I saw a lot of violence there. It's not the place to act like a drunken dickhead. You won't be arrested just beaten up instead!LOL dude was being a dick too it seemed. Grabbing her forcefully and then getting his ass kicked and then crying like a bitch. Thailand is one country where I could never get in an altercation. They all know freaking muay thai.
Go to a place where your money goes a long way, sleeping, eating and moving around is expensive.
Also, instead of moving around from a place to another one, try staying for a while. If you want to go to Spain, go there, rent for a month, and get a simple job that allows you to meet new people and sustain yourself (coffee shop, hotel hostess, etc). That way you can immerse in a different culture instead of Grand slamming through a couple of places and retuning broke as fuck to your mother's basement.
Cheers,

Fuck. I'm so close to doing just this.
I've got a fair bit of money saved up. My friend worked it out and I could live pretty awesome in somewhere like Vietnam for 5 years without having to work. It would be 7 years, but he was adding in monthly hooker expenses lol.
I art directed Sri Lanka's first major animated film like 9 years ago and for that I went and lived with the director and totally got immersed into Sri Lankan culture for 3 months. I've never traveled and tried to see as many places as I could quickly, so I don't know how it compares, but I imagine that settling down for a month or two is a way better experience.
Updated OP. Anyone been to the parties in Koh Phangan? Once again, I'm interested in trying drugs but I'm afraid to risk it. Read too many stories of undercover cops busting people. Apparently shroom shakes are pretty common there as well.
Did you take a filtered water bottle? I'm thinking of buying one but I'm also wondering if simply buying water would be easier.
Im dying to do this
I can't quite explain it I prefer Laotians over Thais. It's a subtle difference but they seem nicer and less used to tourists. I've been getting some stares but they smile back at me. I find the women prettier in a plain way.
Update:
So my plan is coming along. My plans for Thailand are almost set. I have a basic idea about Cambodia but my plans for Vietnam are completely in the air.
Thailand
Stay in Bangkok for a couple days before heading to Chiang Mai stay there for a a day.
From Chiang Rai, go to Huay Xai, Laos for a trekking tour in the jungle called the Gibbon Experience. You basically live in tree houses for three days in the jungle and zipline from treehouse to tree house. This is something I felt like I had to do when I first heard about it.
After Hauy Xai, head to Chiang Mai. Stay there for a few days.
Check out Pai for a few days.
Fly down to Koh Tao for a week. Do a day trip to the Full Moon Festival if I'm up for it.
Take a ferry to Koh Phangan and stay there for a week. Go to the Half Moon Party as it is around my birthday.
Go up to Bangkok again to stay there for a day or two before heading to Cambodia. I'm gonna try to hang out with the Thai girl I met in Laos last year.
I'll be in Thailand for a little less than the 30 days I'm permitted. I'm still not sure if the Full Moon Festival will be worth it. I know it's the big thing to do in that area but it just seems like a giant beach party with drunk young people everywhere, which is cool, but would it be worth it? Not sure. With the half moon party, at least my birthday is a part of it.
I'm not going to be in Bangkok long, so I'm wondering if I should stay a day or two longer before I leave for Cambodia.
Cambodia
Rough plans involve Siem Reap (Ankor Wat), Battambang, Koh Rong, and Kampot.
I was going to skip Phnom Penh but I have to go through it anyway if I want to go to Vietnam so I might as well stay a day.
I might do a workaway in Koh Rong Sanloem (a small island off the coast) and help a local family for free accommodation.
From Phnom Penh take a bus to Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam
Since I loved Vietnam so much when I went to Hanoi, I might extend my stay to a few weeks by working somewhere and getting accommodation in return.
I want to check out the Cu Chi Tunnels, the Mekong River and Can Tho while I'm there.
Vietnam is the cheapest country, and IMO has the best food, so I just mostly want to hang out and eat while I'm there.
Any recommendations regarding Thailand, Cambodia, Southern Vietnam would be welcome. Or general prep advice. I just got myself a pricey 70L bag.
I'm not surprised. Even travel vloggers who made comparisons never found the Thais deserving of their "Land of Smiles" title.
As a kid was into backpacking and camping, I never really understood why my dad (career military, most of it in the infantry) hated backpacking and camping.
Then, somewhere along my first real ruck march, I started getting it.
Backpacking and camping in the Infantry?What is so bad about?
