Traveling alone

[Aggrophobic]

people who travel alone to thailand tend to visit places different from normal tourists. i travel there all the time and i'm pretty sure i know what he wants to accomplish.

Wow, all the time? Such a globetrotter. I live and work there most of the year.

But if you're insinuating that it's "that" kind of stuff he's after he'll be fine in any case and getting a damn bodyguard is ridiculous beyond reason. Even the seedy parts of Bangkok or Pattaya are safe enough that you can go there alone. He won't actually be alone either becuase there is litteraly millions of turists passing through there every year.

Unless he's actually doing drugs or something that the police is targeting then he'll be just fine. Spent a week in Copenhagen just a few weeks back en I litteraly saw more brawls and drunk people getting into trouble then I did in the the last 8 month in Bangkok and Korat.

What did you do in Korat of all places?

What did you do in Korat of all places?

Work related mostly. Been a few trips.

@Aggrophobic OK, Korat pushed buttons for me. I have to ask an amazingly stupid question. I would imagine street cats would be a rougher crowd than show cats, but cats from Thai roots are some of my very favorites, right after Maine Coons. Are any of the street cats or visible house cats still like the modern Thai

and Korat
cats?

Not every guy going to Thailand is a pervert. Now if he was a single, middle aged Westerner going to Pattaya or Phuket, I'd probably think the same though.

At my age? Yeah, I can imagine the reaction I'd get:
Me: "No, really! I went to Thailand by myself to see literal felines! It isn't what you think!"
Commenters: "Sure, guy, whatever you say. <under breath> Jebus, not even an ordinary pervert, he's a furry."

I'd generally not think it unless the guy had a hawaiian shirt and spent all his time in phuket or pattaya. You know the type, lol.

I'm no expert on cats. Thai street cats tend to be slimer than the ones we had around in Sweden. I grew up in the countryside though. Might be diffrent. I googled a bit and I guess, maybe? I'm not the right person to answer that question though.

Oh! Besides the toilet paper, try to break 1000 baht bills in a Tesco or 7-Eleven or something, and learn basic counting.

I like both traveling alone and with friends.

Everyone will assume you are a sex tourist if you travel alone to Thailand haha. Feelsbadman.

I mean why else would you go to Thailand alone?

[Rampant Rabbit]

I went through New Zealand by myself, it was great. Being nervous is normal, as well as getting stressed. It won't make the experience any less great, if anything it makes it greater, because you did it all. It's very rewarding, and you learn a lot about yourself and others.

Is sex better in Thailand?

[Crillam]

If it's your first time going to Thailand. Don't go alone. Or hire a bodyguard to go with you. they are cheap as hell.

Na, he should hire a personal assassin!

Yep, have you not seen dem ladyboys

[Stelio Kontos]

Always. the girls there are kinky AF, and the guys are girlier than girls.

I didn't care much for that aspect of Thailand. I knew almost nothing about the country other than some bad things, when my gf took me there. She joked about ditching me in Pattaya. Then she told me about the kathoey, which for me, in 2005, was a pretty alien concept.

In retrospect, that relationship had issues from the start, not just at the end. Probably why I'm just not interested in Thailand anymore. I was only willing to go because I was dating a Thai girl. In general, I'm not terribly interested in going back to Asia, except maybe to visit some old school friends who live in Japan now.

Thanks for the answers lol, i'm going there for training for the most part and will probably spend most of my time with other tourists also training in combat sports.

Definitely also venturing out alone though, which will mostly be Bangkok.
