Phi-Phi is the nicest place I have ever been. Can't wait to go back.

Obviously in the purest sense.
I made friends with as many people as possible, and love hangin out with people.
Bill and his friends went out to a bar, and I stayed and swam at the beach with a bunch of kids.

It was a lot of fun.

i did that too the first time i went to thailand. will never forget it. was so scared i was gonna get killed or robbed. i only paid 600 baht though.

i read somewhere there are a lot of hot russian girls there too. any validity to this? and if so, are they all just hookers?

speaking thai is hard as [censored]. i just avoid words phrases i cant pronounce because people will try to correct you, and want you to repeat it (friendly) and it is just immpossible for me.

i understand alot, but speaking is pretty hard.

i learned from some books and gf.

Did you only go to bars and such places to pick up girls or were there other different places where you got a number or sealed the deal?

How's the healthcare? Did you have health insurance while you were there?

Me and Bill were walking in a cab, he saw a girl who he thought was atractive walking down the street.
I got out and got her #.
Then at the McDonald's I got the McDonald's drive through window girls #.

Also just random people anywhere I guess...

On the street, or at the falafel stand or whatever.

Talk to people.

Great thread Degan. I have spent the last hour at work reading it. now time to go home! How are other 3rd world asian countries, such as Vietnam, Phillipines or Indonesia? Just curious if these are one in the same or not? I always assumed they all had similar cultures.

Vegan,
Your taxi story is very standard and im sure anyone who has been to a 3rd world country has a similar taxi story. Also your avatar is one of the best i have ever seen.

yeah, i'm sure its not uncommon.
Thanks about the avatar... stuey made it
