Going to split the time up roughly half and half and take motorcycles down in order to see a lot of the country, hopefully make lots of other stops. I’ve never even ridden one, but you don’t need a separate licence there and from what I hear you could just give the cops a bit of cash to leave you alone anyways. Only bummer is it’s the start of their rainy season, but it’s supposed to be more like it pours for a few hours and then stops, rather than constant pissing. If I play my cards right, I’m gunna ride an elephant into some rural area, tear apart a human trafficking ring by trampling pimps, steal their haram for myself then retreat deep into the jungles and start a commune.

I like your style.

Have you been to Thailand before?

Its possibly my favourite country in the world!

Chiang Mai is great, much cooler and wetter than the rest of Thailand. If your girlfriend is from there, she will know the city really well. You could get a genuine Sak Yant tattoo done and blessed by a Buddhist monk while you are there

Bangkok is mad, vibrant and fun. As you're s boxing fan you should try and get tickets to the Lumpini Stadium to watch the Thai boxing. If you go with your girlfriend you could get into the Thai area (they always sequester foreigners in a separate area, and I've always wanted to sit with the Thais as they are raucous and knowledgeable). Lumpini is the Madison Square Garden of Thai boxing and you will see some talented and unbelievably brutal fighters!

I have only spent a little time in Pattaya, but I enjoyed Phi Phi and Ko Lanta more as laid back beach places. Khao Lak was cool too.

Youre right about the bikes, but seriously mate the roads are a death trap on a bike or scooter. Really. I have lost track of the number of foreigners I have seen with injuries and big bills.

Fantastic country, great food and really nice people. Hope you enjoy it buddy.
