A Thailand checklist
- Thai street food = everything is fantastic, especially seafood, spicy
- tailored suits (a quality armani copy suit + shirt + pants < $150)
- fake diesel/D&G/versace/armani exchange/etc shirts everywhere for ~$3 each
- almost everything you could buy in the USA
+
Siam Paragon = larges luxury mall in southeast asia with Chanel/Versace/Gucci/Rolex type stores, has an imax theater and a giant aquarium floor
+ Emporium = smaller/older version of Paragon
+
MBK = cheaper stuff (take on the teen thais at LAN counterstrike)
+ Platinum = clothes
- BTS skytrain and MRT subway to travel around downtown Bangkok = fast
- Clubs = Qbar and Club Bedrock
- go-go bars = Nana &
Soi Cowboy (Dollhouse has naked dancers)
- Cabaret Show - transvestite dancers
- Golf = world class courses
- Thai Massages = amazing, "Foot Massage, Sir?"
- Taxis = costs $1-2 to travel long distances
- Culture = 95% buddhist, extremely friendly, passive, polite, nice
- Weather = 85F daily and sunny (Sept/Oct it rains a bit, Nov-Feb is bit cooler but not much)
- Beaches/Islands = Phuket & Krabi,
Kata Beach in Phuket is amazing. Patpong is full of bars and go-go girls, even kickboxing matches. Take the
Phi Phi Islands Tour, James Bond Tour, 4 Islands Tour, scuba diving, jetski, snorkel, swim. Use AirAsia.com to travel there for <$40 from Bangkok
- History =
Grand Palace (
emerald buddha!), Ayutthaya (former capital)
- Muay Thai Kickboxing = "In Bangkok, Lumphini stadium and Ratchadamnoen have matches on alternate days of the week, usually consisting of eight bouts and starting at about 6pm."
