Thailand 2

Police are something different, not a worry if you have cash in your pocket but just hope you don't need their help

Rent a motorbike, it's surprisingly easy and safe, don't drink and drive

Travel during a festival. Thailand has so many unique, fun and engaging ones to choose.

Come in the shoulder seasons, yes it will rain but usually not for long and you get all the discounts and no queues

Just stick to Chiang Mai or Phuket, there a so many satellite towns and islands that do it better without the crowds
