my travelling tips for responsible travellers ;)

First of all, we're all different and all the travellers I met on the road had different opinion of countries
mentionned below, everything depend of your own experience, and the people you meet. I'm just sharing my personnal experience.


THAILAND

Don't go there!!!
Seriously, if you care at least just a little bit about earth and people, don't.
Thailand is one of this typical example of a country being, in my humble opinion, totally devasted by tourism.

It has deeply ruined the culture, everything seems so great from the outside but is stincky on the inside. (hilltribe being reduced to slavery, tigers being dru to Va
gged, elephants treated like dogs, woman as sexual things). You have, of course, good things in the country, like beautiful landscapes, and nice food. But I was seriously disgusted by the tourists behaviour and the locals as well actually. Act responsible if you go there! Careful to act eco-friendly with the environment and the locals... Remember, drinking and having drugs with the british you can do everywhere in Europe!

LAOS

Is wonderful: go to the North and small villages for cheaper places, to Vang Vieng if you actually wanna get drunk with the british, but please : People are very prude there, be respectful, don't show your shoulder, breasts and legs, be cool : people don't know what yelling means nor hatefulness. You'll get incredibly soft and peaceful in a very short time! Never refuse a glass of Lao Lao. As I heard once, "we are small but spicy" Go with the flow!

VIETNAM

Vietnamese are much more alive, strong, with a great sense of humor, curious and cheerful. What might be taken for aggressivity is more likely to giving you a hand, trying to help. Negociate before buying or ask for the price first (offer half of it). Vietnamese can be trusted, it's really easy there. Amazing food, amazing women, amazing landscapes, great architecture, culture, amazing history, great infrastructure!

Have a great trip in SeA!!!!
