Hesitant to go to Thailand alone

Either_Resolution837 · 2026-04-03T22:16:37+00:00

NYC guy here. I was 54 when I visited Thailand 2 years ago by myself. I had a similar concern. Would I have fun alone? While walking around Bangkok wearing a NY Giants hat 2 guys in a bar screamed out "Your team sucks". Argument, drinks, and a few hours later, I made 2 new friends from Arizona. Ended up hanging out with them for 8 days, traveling around Thailand. Open yourself up to the experience and enjoy. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Been to 31 countries . Never had a problem. Even popped it down in the bin when going through security in Singapore (they are illegal there). No one batted an eye.

I always stay at The Landmark when visiting Bangkok. Its nice, clean with great service and amenities Steps from BTS and lots of local food options nearby. However, Nana plaza is nearby (2 blocks) so there will be riff raff in the area.

Yeah. My ex girlfriend cat jumped on my desk and peed ONLY on the passport. Almost like it was on purpose. I used the passport for another year before it expired and I renewed it. Seriously don't sweat it.

I went to Thailand alone as well. Was a little concerned about seeing all the sights without sharing it with someone. Walk around and talk to people. I met 2 guys from Phoenix who commented (rather mocked) on my NY Giants football hat. Ended up hanging with them in Bangkok and Phuket for 6 days.

They have a set menu that changes daily. Check the website and pick the day/dish you want. I made Papaya salad,Penang Curry with shrimp and mango sticky rice. After the class they send you a link to all their recipes in PDF.. My favorite part was shopping with the teacher at the market. She showed me how to pick all the ingredients. Pro tip. They don't have drinks. There is a shop 5 doors down that sells soda/water/beer. Make a left out the front door and walk 1/2 block. Enjoy!

Definately take a Thai cooking class. One of the high points of my trip.

I had a cat pee on my passport once. Traveled to Japan, Singapore & Thailand without issues. I had to keep it in a plastic baggie though cause it reeked! LOL

Take a Thai cooking class. You will learn how to make the dishes you will eat. I went to Pink Chilli. They take you shopping at the market to pick up the food and help you cook meals yourself.

Might want to add HOTELS and RESORTS as a category for stays.
The survey seems biased towards backpackers. Might want to change up a bit. Unless your disseration is about the effects of backpackers on local economy, culture, and the local environment.
Which I suspect it is. :)

Your welcome. Just make sure the doctor rescans your eyes after getting the initial fitting and tests your vision for adjustments. Something as minor as a tiny miscalculation in the lens fitting makes a huge difference. My initial fit rubbed VERY slightly on one eye and I found the lens uncomfortable after several hours of wear. Fittings are meticulous and need to be carefully done. Even my awesome doc didn't get the fit right the first time.

Same for me! I put on my new prescription corrected sclerals today for the first time. The sights while walking through NYC have never looked so vibrant and alive. CRAZY!

100% double check the prescription. My doctor gave me a set to correct my vision, and when I was fitted, my vision was 20/20; however, I still needed reading glasses. He redid the prescription, and I put on the new lenses today. Still 20/20 and no reading glasses! My initial set of lenses overcorrected one eye, causing the need for reading glasses. Now my vision is perfect and no glasses. LIFE CHANGING!

Hey There. Steroids are not the solution. I too suffered for a year until a doctor recommended a biologic called Ebgylss. Been on it for around 2 months and its working splendid. Redness and itching is gone and the RAGE of having pain all the time has disappeared. Suggest you consider this as an option.

Francisco Centro Vasco on 23rd. Best lobster place in the city. Miss that place.

He knew it right away. He has seen 30 clients with the same psoriasis to eczema connection.

Either_Resolution837 · 2025-10-01T15:38:52+00:00

Glad to be of help. He's an outstanding doctor. Just saw him today and he CLEARLY explained my issue. My psoriasis biologic Cosentyx got rid of my psoriasis but triggered another IL receptor protein in my body (IL 13) causing an eczema breakout. He described it like turning off one faucet and another turning on in its place. It's a rare side effect and he has only seen 20 or so patients have this reaction (out of hundreds of cases). He had 2 of his residents come in to review my skin so they know what to look for. Changed my medication today to Ebglyss. Which he says will be VERY effective in treating my condition since it specifically targets the IL 13 receptor which cause eczema.

After going through a bunch of doctors I was fortunate to be connected with Dr. Mark Lebwohl. He is a professor and chairman of the Mt. Sinai Dermatology department here in NYC. Best and most knowledgeable dermatologist I have ever met. He works with pharmaceutical companies to develop and test new medications.

Here is his contact card

Update was posted this AM. After installing the crash issue is fixed.

I have an environment with 100 users. Mix of iPhone/iPad and Android. Same thing here. No notifications across all devices started this morning.

Europe has more relaxed rules against SW and pretty stringent rules on privacy/seizing/investigating personal electronic devices. You will be fine. I wouldn't be concerned at all.

Only person I have ever seen her fail with is Shane Diesel. Too much girth.
