Keeping Yourself Safe In Thailand

[Takiap]

Sounds daft but a real danger, this is the second time i have had a lucky escape.

Kendo.

A Thai once told me it's good luck if a coconut falls on your head and kills you.

Lucky for him most Issan Thai's are professional mourners they will travel all over to attend funerals of some distant cousin, here it's a far bigger party at a funeral, than it is at a wedding and it can be 3-4 days of hard drinking.

Thats why they are trying to enforce a no alcohol rule at funerals, but that is just a ridiculous unenforceable idea. Imagine trying to take free booze away from a rice farmer.

Kendo.

Another one -- the girl showers first so you can stash your stuff. Unless of course you choose to scrub up together.

You could be really brazen and ask to photo her id card with your camara phone.

If she is a pro, she will probably erase the picture from your phone before she brings it to the pawn shop the next day!

watch out for "girls" with very deep voices, avoid any "girl" taller than you, dont eat the smelly prawns near the night market, avoid the "girls" who smell like the prawns

Hmm

Elaborate please. Most of them smell of garlic and chili
