Visiting Thailand in high or low season will make no difference on what you bring. Your wardrobe will be geared toward the tropics even during the “cool’ time of the year in Thailand.

If you are a single man and are planning a trip to Thailand, you may hear this lament from the girls you meet. Don’t fall for it. It is one of many scams the girls try to pull on unsuspecting men.

Preparing for an overseas flight is a little bit different than your standard domestic flight. About the only type of flight that compares is a U.S. coast to coast. If you properly plan it will make your long flight better.

If you have recently traveled to Thailand you arrived at the newest Southeast Asian airport. Bangkok’s new airport replaces an old friend of mine.

Your wonderful vacation is over and it is time to return home. You need to plan for your return trip home just as you planned at the beginning of your holiday.

Taking a trip to a foreign country can be a bit different than a short shuttle flight between two cities. But, with a little pre-planning, you can make the long flight as pleasant as possible.

Poland's range of accommodation is extremely varied. There are over half a million places waiting for tourists, both typical and, sometimes, extremely original. Hotels belonging to the global chains are present in every city. Poland is the best place in Europe spend to holiday. In the tourist centres there are comfortable pensions and large hotels with tennis courts, golf courses, fitness centres, sports equipment rental outlets and private marinas waiting for visitors with bigger wallets. Tourists on a more modest budget also have a wide range of accommodation available to them.

Many bags look alike. After you pull what you think is your bag off the carousel, check the name tag or the bag tag number. If your bag arrives open, unlocked or visibly damaged, check right away to see if any of the contents are missing or damaged.

Arriving at the airport is the start of your vacation. You can make it painful or painless. It is all up to you.

Between the time you check your luggage in and the time you claim it at your destination, it may have passed through a maze of conveyor belts and baggage carts; once airborne, baggage may tumble around the cargo compartment if the plane hits rough air. In all fairness to the airlines, however, relatively few bags are damaged or lost. With some common-sense packing and other precautions, your bags will probably be among the ones that arrive safely.

Overbooking is not illegal, and most airlines overbook their scheduled flights to a certain extent in order to compensate for "no-shows." Passengers are sometimes left behind or "bumped" as a result. When an over sale occurs, the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to ask people who aren't in a hurry to give up their seats voluntarily, in exchange for compensation. Those passengers bumped against their will are, with a few exceptions, entitled to compensation.

Your vacation is scheduled and it is time to book your flight. Most people make the mistake of booking their flight based on departure time – but this can be a big mistake.

If you intend to drive overseas, check with the embassy or consulate of the countries where you will visit to learn about requirements for driver's license, road permits, and auto insurance. If possible, obtain road maps of the countries that you plan to visit before you go.

You can read almost daily about foreigners getting arrested in Thailand. They get arrested for a variety of reasons – theft, pedophilia, drugs, murder and more. Some are wanted in their home countries and were arrested in Thailand and will be extradited back home to face trial. They are either arrogant or stupid thinking that the Thai Police will never catch them. Well, you don’t want to get caught by the Thai Police – trust me. Here are a few examples:

Temptation is all around us and sometimes circumstances make the temptation irresistible. Maybe you lost you wallet and credit cards and need some quick cash. Maybe you think you are smarter than the Thai Police and won’t get caught. Maybe you just didn’t think.
