Cost and danger of travelling in Thailand
Sorry for all the useless answers, but if, as they say, 50% of all email on
the net is spam, then one can probably draw a parellel and say that 50% of the people on usenet are idiots. Thailand is incredibly safe, in practically all areas, save for a few nasty border regions. As far as money is concerned, the cost of travel is ridiculously cheap, and you can stuff you face for less than a loony. Guest houses are also comparitiveky inexpensive, as is local bus and train travel. Bob -- Travel and Astronomy Photos http://www3.sympatico.ca/bomo "Richard" wrote in message ... Hi, I am planning to go to Thailand for a month in February. How much money do I need? I want to visit Bangkok as well as most of the country. I am planning to go there alone ( I was originally planning to go there with my girlfriend but we broke up). Is Thailand dangerous for a white man? Is there some place to avoid? Thanks, Richard |

A vast majority of Canadians were and still are against the war in Irak. Canada is a social democrat country. Sorry, but it looks like you just gave yourself away with the use of the spelling "Irak". You're not Canadian. You're Quebecois. And, like the French, are not very well loved outside the French speaking world. Yes I am a French Canadian. I may make a few mistakes in English but as you may know most Canadian English do not speak French so I am much better than them.. As far as not being like by English Canadian, it does not matter in the discussion. In Canada every poll show that a vast majority of people are against the war of Iraq, not only French Canadian. It is also a fact that Canada did not want to participate in the war. As a matter of fact most countries in the world are againts that war. Even in England, the majority of people are against the war, so you see it has nothing to do with the fact that I am a French Canadian. Richard |
