RE: Travelman's Travels in Thailand Chapter 5: Khao Sok National Park and My Harum from Holland! (Part 1)
Great post. Unless you have unlimited funds, here's a little tip for long term travel. Slow it down a bit, try "living" in the country vs spending money on endless tourist activities. Don't get me wrong that's great fun and enjoy! But for long term travel you can go through serious money with endless tourism. But you're new to it all so enjoy! Sorry if I come off mentorish. My bad. To me it's fascinating seeing you travel as as newbie fellow American. My first time in Thailand I was 20, now I'm 35! yikes! Seriously enjoy! I'm just glad you took my advice and came to Thailand over Vietnam for your first go around. Now you have something to compare it to, when you do go to Vietnam.
Yeah, I've given myself license to go a bit tourist crazy in the first two weeks. I'm not liking how I'm burning through money in "cheap" thailand, so it's going to change in the next couple days. Just letting myself go crazy with fun the first few days. At the same time, I have the funds, so I'm not going deprive myself of something I may not get the chance to do again. I'm pretty frugal, and now and then Iet myself splurge when I feel it's appropriate. The tourist activities are helping me meet fellow traveler's as well which I need in my initial days. Appreciate you looking out.
Makes total sense. Enjoy my friend. :)
