I'm heading Bangkok for the first time next April 23rd and have some questions.
1) Is it safe to walk around in BKK with a $1000 Canon reflex camera?
2) What kind of products should I take from home vs buying there? Sunscreen, insect repellent, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste ... (can I easily find, for example, Pantene, Rexona, or Colgate products there at fair prices?)
3) From the perspective of a regular non-sexual / semi-sexual (![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)
) tourist are those 3 hotel recommendations still valuable? We are hoping to spend most time outside NEP / Soi Cowboy and go there just a couple times I think. We don't expect to stay much time in the hotel, but a pool and free wifi would be appreciated.
4) For 3 backpackers possibly booking 2 or 3 rooms (?) for 4 or 5 nights, what should be the best price per room at the recommended hotel in late April?
5) Can we expect to buy BTS cards at the local BTS stations and easily find a couple of cheap SIM cards to stay in touch with each other in case one gets "lost"?
6) I've read a lot of recommended touristic spots. Can you filter them and recommend the nicest ones, since we're supposed to stay there just for 5 days?
I don´t want to pollute this nice thread with off-topic, but if one have traveled to Macau, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and Phuket/Phi Phi, I would much appreciate answers about these places too.
