Here’s some tips on how to avoid scams in Thailand.
| Because there are so many banks and ATMs, there is no need to carry a giant wad of cash on you anyway. |
| Don’t accept torn or faded notes - they will be very difficult to spend later. It is common for people to try to pawn these damaged bills off on foreigners. |
| Keep your spending money in a wallet or bag, but put your large denomination bills into your passport belt or hide them. This will also be helpful when you are trying to negotiate a price - you don’t want to dig through 1000 Baht notes in front of a shopkeeper to find the right cash! |

Thailand has been touted as one of the best places for filming movies, here’s some great information on that.
| Thai cinema may not be the best known in the world, but Thailand is certainly gaining fame as a country in which to make films. It has countless, hugely varied locations, a wide range of accommodation, well equipped studios, knowledgeable and hard-working crews, a welcoming culture, an attuned administrative infrastructure and represents excellent value for money. Little wonder then that film-makers from around the world are zeroing in on Amazing Thailand as one of the places to make films. |

Here’s some great information on the Kaho Yai National Park in Thailand near Bangkok.
 Khao Yai National Park is located about 2 1/2 hours north of Bangkok and is one of Thailand’s best national parks. Established in 1962, it was Thailand’s first national park and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. |
| I had always heard great things about the park but, despite living in Thailand for a few years, had never managed to get there. When I played tour guide a few weeks ago to a friend from Boston, I used that as my excuse to finally make it to there. I can’t believe it took me so long. The park is truly amazing- beautiful, empty, filled with lush flora and fauna, and even a few wild Elephants. |
