Yes you will need to get jabs about a month before you go, contact your local doctors they will advise what you need . You will not need malaria in Bangkok, Phuket or Pattaya you only need this in the northern more jungle areas.

Make sure you take out travel insurance as if something bad happens at least they will get you home even if you are injured.

i got mine with http://www.atlasdirect.net/index.asp they are good value

There are good open air food places behind the Muay Thai boxing where you can eat cheaply and then there are some really good restaurants where you can eat much more expensively. Typically the good restaurants are on the Beach road or overlooking the sea. Cheap is about 500 baht for a decent nosh up. Expensive is about 8,000 baht for dinner for two.

My problem is that drinking loosens the straps around the money bag! Ringing the bell at a bar can cost 1000 baht if it is price capped and anything at all if it is not! I have paid 3,000 baht after ringing the bell in a busy bar. The second problem is that while drunk and being smoozed by lacivious women the temptation is to prove how generous you are by buying quantities of lady drinks! These can add up...

The moral of this tale.. keep sober! It is only that this is mission impossible in LOS... I spend about 10,000 baht a day in Los (£150 /$200)

Best to you

Yes Mac,

But you are a prince and show the women you are with the utmost attention and graciousness. I live here and there are very few indivuduals like yourself that come and visit. I wish when you get back let me know so we can meet for some drinks. Or come to Chiang mai I think you would like it.

In responding to the thread if you want to do all the normal tourust stuff and also party expect 100usd. min. per day in a room that will run you 800 baht(you can find cheaper to 500) low season without joiner fee.

Hope this helps.
