New thing #23: Visiting Thailand

The Good: Friendly and welcoming people; colorful chaotic cities; ornate shrines in unexpected places; palm trees full of coconuts; fresh and spicy seafood; beautiful mountain vistas; listening to Thai cover bands singing GNR and the Boss.

The Bad: Lady-boys, prostitutes and snake charmers; tourists dragging their kids through the red light district; trash on the streets and beaches; humidity; giant bugs; paying for toilet paper in public restrooms.

& The Ugly: Fish pedicures. Don't do it:

For less than $3 you can stick your feet in a tank of dirty water
and have tiny little carp nibble the dead skin off your toes.
