Importance of locals
Locals are gonna help you if you fall ill or get too drunk.
One time i was soo sick in thailand from too much grog (17 beers) i seriously couldnt make it to the shop to buy food the next day.
I tipped the bar girl friend downstairs 50 baht to get me a 99 baht pizza to fix me up.
If i hadnt have previously befriended her i woulda been ruined all day.
Point is if the locals see a barang/farang in a bad way they will definatly help out, Hence the importants of befriending local khmer/Thai people.
Many noobs dont know these little tricks and ignore the locals then some end in a bad way with nobody to help.

Re: Importance of locals
well said. poor people are more likely to help out others in a jam coz they know how close it is to being in the shit.

Re: Importance of locals
Well said. I've long believed that the Thai and Khmer were put on this earth for the sole purpose of assisting cashed-up bogans on vacation who are too hungover to drag themselves down the stairs and too stupid to figure out how to order a meal from room service.Beerinthemorning wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 8:44 pm Locals are gonna help you if you fall ill or get too drunk.
