Connor, with a bit of common sense there are not many places to avoid in Thailand, Cambodia or other locations in Asia. Of course, shady venues at night far off the beaten track you should avoid anywhere, but you will be safe, don’t sweat it. And yeah, I wouldn’t jump around the unexploded ordnance in Cambodia or Vietnam. Most locations from the Lonely Planet and internet forums in Thailand or elsewhere (i.e. Angkor Wat) are more than safe and you will have a ball of a time, leaving Canada for the first time. Have a great trip!

It’s off-topic, sorry fellas. I should be able to participate in this poll… soon enough, seeing as it has been going on for years. =D>

I’ll be in Thailand in April with a friend. After the months through I’d like to move on to Cambodia, alone. In all honesty, I’ve never made it out of Canada and I am feeling abit timid about venturing off on my own while being unfamiliarized with whats around me.

Any advice? Safety Concerns? Places to avoid? Anything is much appreciated;)

KiwiNomad, sounds like a great plan, commuting between those 2 countries. I’m planning a similar thing, maybe just fleeing from the raining season….switching to areas below the equator around mid year and above the equator around end of year should help. So back in May to Bali and maybe over New Year again to Pinas….let’s see……hehehe.

The Philippines
Brunei (surprise!)
Thailand
Indonesia (Bali would make second place, but let down by other parts of Indonesia I have visited)
Taiwan
Vietnam (…yet to try Laos and Cambodia)
Hong Kong

I guess I am not a real “Nomad” as I still manage businesses to support my lifestyle, however I have lived in SEA (mostly), the US and Europe for the past 25+ years.
I have a Philippines SVEG visa as I employ 10+ Filipinos which gives me a “residency” without “investing” in the bonds and securities. When I move to Bali I will get KITAS but I dont think it should be necessary as I go back to the Phil and Brunei every 6 to 8 weeks.
