So I went. Had a great time.
Things to note:
I lost my cell phone. Fell out of my pocket in a cab. Find my iPhone doesn't work when your phone is in airplane mode to avoid crazy international data charges...
If you're a white guy with an Asian gf, and you're not directly in a huge city. People will stare at you. Hard. Like sticking their heads out of their car window hard. They assume your gf is a prostitute.
All taxis are these Toyota Corollas. Half of them are riced out by the drivers to look cool lol. Most look like a train wreck, but I saw a few that were modded well. Everyone uses those autozone special fart cannon mufflers lol. Even the Tuk-Tuks.
Motorcycles and motorcycle taxis are everywhere. And they're crazy. Actually driving there is crazy in general. Speeding, tailgating, cutting people off, driving on the shoulder, driving on the sidewalk, driving the wrong way, all commonplace there. It's almost lawless. They also don't have the safety regs (or just not enforced) like here. Totally normal to see pickup trucks packed with people in the back, mothers holding infants on motorcycles, etc.
I saw a lot of neat cars not in America, lots of Honda Citys and Jazz's. The only Subarus I saw were those new Crosstreck XVs weirdly enough. Like the taxis, even nicer cars get ruined with fart cannons and brembo brake covers. But a few well modded cars.
If you're going to brave the street food (I did), be prepared for a few days to a week of diharrea before you get used to it (if at all). Similarly, don't drink the tap water unless you're looking for some real sickness. Even the locals don't drink the water.
Most bathrooms have western toilets now. Only the rural/poor areas still have squatty floor potties. Bring your own toilet paper if your not in a mall
Or something, and be prepared to pay a small fee to use the toilet. Also showers are usually in the same room with nothing separating it from the toilet area. It's all just one room.
NO ONE has free wifi available out in public outside of the airport. Not even Starbucks. #firstworldproblems
Almost all electrical outlets are dual purpose for accepting European and NA plug standards, but keep in mind that it's 220v and check your electronics for compatability. I had no problems with my chargers, they all supported 220v.
The sun is no joke. If you're a white boy that burns like me. Get some serious sunscreen. I had SPF 30 on for 2hrs at the beach and still burned pretty good.
