There's small beach/fishing communities up and down the eastern seaboard with easy access to Pattaya and Bangkok. Plenty of foreigner bars and food, cheap condos or homes either on the beach or nearby.
Pretty funny how the biden folks here thinks it's quite normal for a VP to speak with his son's foreign business partners about ?????. I often speak with my son's employer to discuss the weather.
For me 2 CC's are mandatory. I just made some int flight plans and my one cc wasn't working so pulled put the other. In the US so convenient to pay with CC for most items on my 3 wk tour.
