Re: Thailand Thread
Closest thing to paradise on Earth and that costs much less than all the other paradises.Bangkok's Peninsula and Oriental hotels are always ranked as the best hotels in the world and at less than $200 a night in either,one is truly getting a good deal.Either hotel in NYC,Paris,Tokyo,etc.,would cost 3-5 times more per night.And it is hedonism paradise with the tropical beaches,
gorgeous real women (TS's are known as katoey boys),full-body soap or oil massages for a few dollars,and Thai green curry chicken with sticky rice at any of the numerous stands for a few cents.

Re: Thailand Thread
pinkaboy, you married too? so what do i have to say? i think the food's good, too!
i was lucky that i travelled there many, many times before it was "discovered". places like phuket and samui and phi phi were very deserted. not any more. it looks very much like waikiki now. even back then, though, the beaches were just okay/pretty good. hawaii's beaches are way nicer. but no other place could match the slow paced, safe, easy going lifestyle. a few bucks for a bungalow, pennies for fresh fish, cold beer under a shade, electric generator cuts off at 9ish, a million stars at night.
one thing you can do now which is still very cool is hook up this expat (dave) at http://paddleasia.com/ his philosophy about paddling is the same as mine: the further away the better. you can choose from several options, of course, but i'd choose one that takes you really far south (not far from the thai/malay border). you won't see any tourists there. just paddle all day long, from island to island.
AuntieNellieKulolo, i'm a little surprised to hear you say that you're thinking of teaching esl in thailand; not that it's bad but i thought you had that career thing in ny? maybe i'm mixing you up with someone else. got my first master's in esl but never taught there (japan for 10 years). i think you'd love it. of course, like anywhere else, your experience will vary depending on how far from the city you live/teach. for my money, nothing beats the countryside....525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
