(I don't understand why people go all the way to Thailand to stay there, when you can pretty much get the same experi…

Just came back from Thailand and got severely ripped off because I didn't do enough homework.
Remember to bargain for everything. Even if you are at a TAT travel agent. These Thai people see foreigners as a HUGE dollar sign and will rob you blind if you let them.
