Yes! Agree with these. Sandwich bags are unsung heroes. We also often do the walking tours (or food/walking tour combos) to help get oriented in a new place.
Yep it really makes a difference I think, as in a very short period of time you can really get your bearings and where you want to explore more of. Where are you now Becky?
I love the way you write Jo - your prose creates pictures for example - "having what I can only describe as a small party. One wash, two beers, immaculate afternoon".
I can imagine you both sitting there, feet up and saluting the washing going round with your bottles of beer.
I also love your humour. An example "What passes for black tea in some places would make my nan weep." Quite a lot of English humour.
Some great tips that can be taken on board by people just visiting one place. A sarong, detergent sheets, making sure 2 rooms with double bed and ensuite(that is for 2 sisters living together who need their own space) and wi-fi, to name a few.
I thoroughly enjoy reading about your experiences and when you are next in Thailand we will find you a room with a view!
Currently in Southern Denmark for another two weeks. Then we're off to visit friends in Southwest France for a month. That will complete our first full year overseas!
Love this, absolutely perfect practical advice, thanks for sharing, I resonate with it all abreast but excellent reminders as I'm getting ready to go back to Asia for longer term nomadic life. PS, I get both hot flushes and cold flushes!!
All of this okus rule number one on travel day: No blaming.
Ah yes, that's a good one. I think we may need to work on that one! 😂

Happy travelling, Davina
Thanks Davina! Much appreciated! I look forward to my room with a view 😂 Not long now for you ladies! 🇹🇭
Yes to sandwich bags! I thought I was the only one to see them as a travel necessity. I use them constantly!
You're definitely not alone Chris! Where are you in the world now?

Fantastic! Hope you’re having a great time! 😁😎
Love this, thanks for sharing your adventures. We have a small dog and there are so many uses for ‘caca bags’.
Right!? 😂
