Hey look a new thread I did a bike tour (the pedal variety) January 09 to May through Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia, had a phenomenal time, fell in love each day, wrote about it and posted it online here: http://bikemandan.com/seasia Big thanks to Pompous Rhombus who followed the blog and helped me along the way My last post in the blog has some recommendations I thought useful and as already stated, being careful of scams is unfortunately necessary, I got caught up in some weird "blackjack" scam in Kuala Lumpur

Cheesemaster200 posted:Do not bring Cambodian Reals out of the country, you will NOT be able to change them anywhere. I changed some in Bangkok but you'll want to bring your lube... Best to use them up in the country as stated. Not likely you'll end up with much anyway since in Siem Reap and PP and elsewhere it's used only in lieu of US coins (<$1)

Sheep-Goats posted:...words... My favorite example of this was the visa run nonsense from Ranong to Burma. There's a trade setup in the town and the port area strictly in offering crisp fresh  to satisfy the military on the other side. I had some $5s I brought from home and out of 6 of them they finally accepted 2 (got lucky)

GZA Genius posted:Koh Phangan I stayed in Ban Mae Hat. Very laid back and quiet. Kayaking and snorkel are good. They were unfortunately building some larger resort style place though. Theres a sandbar that connects to the small island across the way Ko Ma with some cheap primitive bungalows. Its secluded though, poor access back to town and the party, which is good and bad
