Advice for female traveler's visiting Thailand

Many of the hassles and annoyances that can periodically annoy solo female traveler's can be avoided with a few simple precautions. Simple and, what is regarded locally as polite, sensible dress is probably the most important issue. Cover the shoulders, upper arms and legs and avoid skin tight clothing. Loose fitting comfortable wear is probably advisable, as is avoiding large groups off male-only company in late-night bars and restaurants. Women traveling alone should think carefully before hitching to avoid unwelcome proposals. Secluded, off the beaten track, beaches are best visited in a group or with known male company. At practically all beaches bikini's are welcome but topless- ness is not.

Disco's and dance halls are generally safe provided a small amount of common sense is used.

Several guidebooks have recommended checking the walls off accommodation for strategically placed peep holes, but this really only applies to the very bottom and off the accommodation market. All lodgings booked via Thaifocus should be safe and peeping is highly unlikely.

All in all Thailand is a very safe country for the single female and if you feel you have a genuine grievance the tourist police should be glad to help.

Travel Thailand with children

Thai's absolutely adore children especially the blonde haired offspring's of Westerner visitors. The only problems you are likely to encounter involves the spoiling of your child by local adoring women. Nappies, diapers, pampers are easily available and can be found in convenience stores, chemists and supermarkets throughout the kingdom. Milk compound, the food and other infant delights are also easily found. Children's clothes can be bought for fraction of Western cost and, as applicable to all travelers, and you are probably better of purchasing them in Thailand. Cots, prams and buggies are also available in most towns of even moderate size.

As in most of the travel industry infants pay 10 percent of adult fair (seat not provided) one major forms of transportation. Children under the age of 12 (seat provide) are charged at half adult rate and expected to pay the same as adults when they reach that 12th birthday. There is no discount to children when travelling on the train system
