what is the best beach in Thailand to go to for a new years party? we are 2 college guys looking to be on a drippy beach, party with hot college girls, and eat good food (in that order). We've been looking at Phuket but it seems like everyone goes there...
>>2726710go to James Bond Island you fucking normie lmfao
>>2726710you know i always wondered, if you're solo travelling and you want to go in the water on the beach, where are you leaving your belongings? Your passport, wallet, keys etc? Im too scared of leaving it on the beach. Especially in a foreign country.
>>2726750keep your passport in your hotel room safejust leave the house with key, cash, phoneI just put in my bag and leave it on the sandI did that everyday in zanzibar and no problembut yeah it is a nuisancejust have your bag on your towel, in sight and as your swimming just check to see if it's still there from time to timeor leave your phone in the room and only bring cash and keyor if you're in a place that accepts visa/mastercard just have your card+key on you and keep it in your pocket (velcro) as you swim
>>2726710Koh Samui. You will have the added bonus of being able to easily pop over to Koh Phangan for some variety. These islands attract a much younger crowd than the majority of the country and the food is as good as anywhere. You can fly direct from BKK (somewhat expensive) or take a ferry from the mainland (cheaper).Phuket is easier to get to by far and thus attracts the lowest type of tourists, namely Indians and Chinese.
>>2726750If you rent a motorbike and it's parked nearby it has a lockable storage compartment
Euhm keys?
>>2726710FYIpic rel is Maya Bay, a short boat ride from Koh Phi Phi.It is where the movie The Beach (DiCaprio - 2000) was filmed.It is currently closed to the public because every jackass in the world wanted to go there after seeing the movie.Now they won't even let you off the boat.
>>2726883Yep, leave your ATM card in your room and only bring cash and an old ID in your wallet. Nobody wants to get robbed, but you can replace cash in five minutes. You can't replace your ATM card.Hell, if you don't plan on buying anything, you could even leave your wallet in your room safe. But you sure don't want to order something unthinkingly and then get that awful feeling when you reach for your wallet and find an empty pocket. Leaving your phone behind is more of a hassle if the town is big enough that you could lose the way back to your hotel. You could always buy one of those cheapo mini phones and download an offline map app onto it. Always look back before you start walking down the sand and memorize the landmarks where you entered the beach. Worst case, just flag a taxi and get a ride back to your hotel.>>2726962Most hotels will let you leave your room key with reception, and some even require it. As an alternative, disconnect the tag from the key so nobody who steals your room key will be able to tell which hotel or room it corresponds to.

>>2726883i heard if you're in japan you have to keep the passport on your person at all times?
>>2727620Only if you're a jeet.
>>2727624Jeet here, there's so many of us in every country that laws don't even apply to us anymore. Lmao you think they can tell us apart? Plus we are so valuable that countries beg for us to save them from the incel menace. I got offers from Canada, the UK, Japan and Korea, residency plus cash stipends and free local women.
