Going to the jungle

[generalbulldog]

Are you sure you know what you're doing? Have you ever been to Thailand? Do you know anything about their culture? Politics? Or any sort of turmoil that might be developing? I think it's important to know about this type of stuff before venturing into countries that are still undeveloped.

I was planning to go to Thailand in '06, but then there was turmoil in that land with a coup d'etat that had taken place, not to mentioned there were certain places in Thailand where the government was fighting Islamic rebel forces that wanted to Islamicize that Buddhist nation in places in the south.

And you really don't sound like the outdoors type from your posts. I hope it all goes well, but I think one should always be as prepared as possible for these types of things, especially camping in the jungles of developing nations. Just my 2 cents.

No, I'm probably a bit weird in doing this. But like I say, I just have to do it. Originally my wife thought this was a good idea, but now she thinks Im mad. I guess I have been mad for a while though. It's all planned though.
