>parents going to bangkok for a week
>i'm going with them
>i have another week of vacation
>don't know if i want to spend it in thailand or go to another county (Japan looks nice)
i hear of people spending weeks in thailand, but i don't care too much for culture (like seeing temples), and don't care too much about beaches, or partying
i'm not that interested in hiking (though Phraya nakhon cave and erawan falls do look cool)
what else is there to do?
i do like trying new foods, so a week in thailand should be enough for that i would think. and i like japanese food (ramen and sushi)
what does /trv/ recommend i do in thailand? or japan for that matter? is 1 week enough for both?
1 week wouldn't be enough for even one of these countries, but I recomend going into a club in Japan even if you don't like parties. The people there are very attracted towards foreigners (mostly whites) and drinks/entry is often cheaper for foreigners as well
Just bang hookers and eat spicy food in Thailand for 2 weeks. You won't regret it.
You can get Japanese food in Thailand too. They like it there.

what are things i "must do" in thailand?
one itinerary i was thinking of:
bangkok - 4 days
erawan falls 1 day (leave at night to kanchanaburi and visit the falls in the morning)
phraya nakhon cave 1 day (leave during the night before to hua hin, and see the cave in the morning)
phuket or koh phi phi 3 days (including whatever travel time needed)
koh samui/koh pha ngan 3 days (last day at the half moon party), and hop on a plane the evening after the half moon party is done back to home
not into parties, but these moon parties seem popular (pic related)
how concerned should i be of monkeys and dogs with rabies, especially when doing the short hikes i'm planning?

>1 week is enough to see all of Japan
I spent three years in Tokyo and didn't see all the worthwhile stuff.

You seem like a boring omega male.
>>1240441
because i don't want to risk getting any diseases from hookers?
>>1240445
They are no more disease-ridden than some Western bar slut. Wear a condom and you're good to go.

>>what are things i "must do" in thailand?
bang a tranny of course what else
>>1240445
You're more likely to get a disease in the US
>>1240428
From the interests you listed, it sounds like you should stay home and order a takeaway honestly.

If you go hiking/cave exploring you need rabies shots and other vaccines. Thailand is still 3rd world.
Where I live there is a ramen and sushi place on literally every block I'm pretty tired of it so enjoyed the Thai food when I was there. Malaysia has the best food in the region though if that's what you're after or take a flight to Japan from Bangkok, it's like $400 return.

You may as well get at least one prostitute, you're not going to catch a disease.
>>1240428
I'm in the exact same situation. I'm guessing it'll be temples, shopping and eating for a week basically.

>rabies shots
is it needed for what look like easier and popular hikes, like erawan falls, and Phraya nakhon cave?
and i've read the rabies vaccine only saves you from taking 3 shots. even if you're bitten, instead of taking 5 shots after, you only need 2 if you get the vaccine before hand
maybe i'll try to find a tour, so i'm with other people if the monkeys and dogs attack
