I hope there is not bad weather and rips and non of them drown.

Now that would be embarrassing.

Interesting local culture?

Thank you for posting this well in advance instead of reporting on it after it happens.

I hope the ASEAN countries have been warned about beautiful women in bikinis and late night walks on the beach. But maybe Thailand can capitalize on its clothing industry offering a better bathing suit.
