2BWellTravelled

Hi everyone

Well I am totally overwhelmed - thank you so much for the information! I have been in Sydney for the last few days at one of those conferences that leaves your head feeling like your brain has been sucked out, stomped a bit, then returned to its original position.

Logged in as soon as i could to the forum to be delighted to see 4 pages of responses and what seems to be a terrific argument to boot.

....just a quick to let you know - I'm Mum with daughter (should have made that one clear - sorry).

I've gleaned so much from your suggestions, I now have list of things to check out.

Special mentions - huge thanks to hello dolly, beb, paagai, eek (not dissuaded at all, thanks for your input from the female perspective), TommoPhysicist (great list - thanks), chaophraya49, 2020. I'm sure I have missed a few others I meant to mention - really appreciate your input.

Justmaybe - hopefully my explanation above explains my tardy response :-)

I really can't imagine my daughter and I hanging out in pubs or bars till the wee small hours , so I daresay the evening trade won't be too much of an issue for us. Definitely not couch potatoes - but what can I say, yes definitely tourists. I will be walking around with a camera, looking like a deer caught in the headlights, but assuredly loving every minute of the adventure. We both enjoy getting to know the culture and understanding more of the people when somewhere - as much as you can in such a short period of time.

I did survive the streets of Kathmandu early this year, so hopefully I'm still well practised in crossing the roads with my body still intact by the time I get to the other side.

Again, thanks so much for your help.

Hi - wondering if you well travelled folks may be able to assist.

I'm travelling in November to Chiang Mai with my adult daughter. We will be staying 5 nights. Is there any districts we should not be staying in? I gather from most posts that common sense (lol) is the best precaution but just wanted to know if there is anywhere we should stay away from.

Also any info on what we definitely should see would be welcome.

Thanks so much.
