    From else where's comments

    how far SE Asia is from Australia! Here's a few distances for comparison.

    Sydney to Bali: 4619 km

    London to Tehran: 4407 km

    Melbourne to Hong Kong: 7394 km

    London to New York: 5587 km

    Brisbane to Hanoi: 7389 km

    London to Nairobi: 6805 km

    The major population centres in Australia aren't as close to SE Asia as some people think.

    "Vid ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst captured some breathtaking images of Earth during his six-month stint on the International Space Station.

    This timelapse video brings together 12,500 photos snapped by Gerst while he was part of the Blue Dot mission from May to November this year.

    In many countries the drunken tourist lout behavior would not be tolerated by the locals. You can see why the locals get pissed off, and if it wasn't for the MONEY it generates for them they would hardly tolerate it at all. For myself if a bar is full of pissed louts, tourist or other wise I just move on

    Thailands not done as a destination until it charges "western" prices. The only problem

    with moving on else where is that the quality and quantity of LB's is hard to find else where.

    EXCELLENT advice!!!! Highlighting your local country number AND carrying it is now added to my always carried copy of the passport and visa. :-)

    If you cannot afford comprehensive travel insurance you simply cannot afford the holiday! In most cases it's only a few short/long times
