I I love Times Square at night it's absolutely stunning and you really captured that. I enjoy all the craziness that this city has to offer and no matter how many times I've been there I never do the same thing twice. Have you managed to see The Naked Cowboy? He's hilarious!

One of the users on my forum posted a link to your site, and I had to check it out. Those are some beautiful pictures of Thailand, and I appreciate your insight. I've been planning a trip to Thailand for either next year or the year after, so hopefully I get to visit all the places you mention. Thanks again, Charles Hello!

The Balinese are such nice people, but look what happened with the 'healer' Wayan in the book. Liz helped her out and then she tried to get more and more money out of her! I also heard about the tours with Ketut and figured these people will have so many tourists visiting them now there's no way it would be as authentic as Liz's story and there are probably hundreds of people in Bali with the same gifts that desperately need money. I was in Ubud for one day (I was staying in Sanur) and decided I wanted to see a spiritual healer or something similar for the experience, i tried booking into a couple but couldn't get in for weeks ( the place was absolutely heaving with tourists but it was my first time in Ubud so I don't know if it is always like that), eventually i came across Wayan's shop and although she was working on another woman (an american woman asking her to read her mind!) she invited me in. For about 250,000 you're there for about 3 hours, and you get a body scrub, a massage, and a variety of drinks and herbal medicines to take home. Wayan still has the same humble little shop Liz describes in the book, and she was very sweet and funny. There was nothing spectacular about the treatment though, I had far nicer 'Balinese' experiences with the gorgeous locals, chatting with the ladies on the beach whilst having a pedicure, and feeding the homeless dogs wandering around!

I've had a fantastic time holidaying in Thailand, but i feel you've left out a very important thing about phi phi, the amount of tourists visiting those tiny islands is immense& certainly not for the faint hearted, or anyone looking for a peaceful time exploring a beautiful location. Krabi, raylai beach & koh lanta shouldn't be missed & personally I feel are missing from your list! I have literally just got back from a day trip to the koh phi phi islands & saw your post!
