A lot of people asked me about Thailand, here are my insights

Crime and Safety: Thailand is very strict about drugs. But you can always pay your way out if you get caught. Only broke people go to jail here. No pickpockets, gangs, petty low tier crimes. It's completely safe to wear a nice watch, even at night. Where to go: I live in Bangkok which is a huge city, 13 million people living here. Most nice places are located in a neighborhood called Thong Lor. You can also visit: - Phuket: Big city on the sea, lots of ballers go there for holidays - Koh Samui: Relaxed vibe. Train Muay Thai, go to the beach - All the smaller islands (Koh Tao, Koh Chang, Koh Phangan): Chilling in some nice resort - Khao Yai: Local ballers have second houses here. There's a "fake Italy" called Toscana Valley and a national park Culture: Thai culture is very different from the West. People are very welcoming, smiling all the time and in general very nice. There's this thing called "saving face" — Thai people avoid public embarrassment, confrontation, or saying "no" directly. Dating: It's very easy to get girls in Thailand, but as a tourist you'll only get the low level girls. Bangkok is the only place that has nice girls. If you want the nice girls, you need to have a good setup.
