Like I've already said, I already have my plane tickets to Bangkok. (Not biking or hitchhiking unfortunately.) I only need to check if my vaccines are up to date, but besides that, I'm not sure if there's too much to plan. I don't need much clothes in Thailand, except socks and underwear, because it is to be expected to be sweating bucket loads there, especially when being used to the cold Northern European climate. Talking about plans, I highly recommend checking @fitinfun's post about visas and other useful travel information about Thailand.
One useful thing I learned from the post, is that when travelling to Thailand, one must have the following amount of funds in CASH (or the equivalent of in any currency):
10,000 thb $325 usd per person if you do not have a Visa.
20,000 thb $650 usd per person if you have 60 day Tourist Visa.
Apparently this isn't checked on everybody, and being a very Nordic looking person, there's probably not a very high chance for me to be caught off the line, but it's good information to know, because it's possible the officials can prevent your access to the country if you don't have the money with you.
Another good tip for Thailand is to take a water filter – or even one of those handy bottles in Amazon that has it integrated to the bottle – so that you don't need to buy bottled water in avoidance of stomach aches from bad water. I also need to get a SIM with internet when getting to Bangkok and figure my way from the airport to the city itself.
So I guess there are little things to plan after all.
Like taking dried fruit with me.
You might've noticed that I broke the rules with the title a little, but that is because I've literally been dreaming about SteemFest – or at least the many people I met during SteemFest 3 in Krakow. Actually, this last night was another dream: I think I was in Bangkok, and in that dream I caught myself trying to spot familiar faces and getting delighted when I got to embrace them.
So, to say to anyone who's still thinking or doubting of going to SteemFest even if they could, financially and otherwise: think how big of an impact it has left on me – 8 months and I'm still having dreams about it. That shit is deep in my psyche, and it's not going away. It will be one of the most significant events of your life, the attending of which you will never regret.
