Wassup. I am new to the forum and going to Thailand for the first time in 2 weeks time. Has been away from M'sia for almost twenty years and fate has bought me back staying close to Phuket this time. Will be flying in from Penang and looking forward to explore Phuket.

Any hints for people flying in from M'sia? I was told constantly that it is not safe to travel to southern Thailand to anyone that I talked to here.

From what I gather, it seems like Thai ladies doesn't mind getting their photo taken. Is that correct?

Thanks everyone. Does anyone knows if it is better to exchange the currency before I arrived or after. If the later, where can I get it changed? Thanks.

Welcome to the board and yes exchange in Phuket. I think it's about 9.2 B to the RM currently.
