Nice folks lack of generals and army to give direction yet the Ticos are friendly, Huge climate range English friends son runs a zipwire/blloon thingy I'll try find a link, colleage worked in the capital low pay but good culture, helps in the sticks if you speak Spanish,not my mangled mix of scraps of French Basque and Catalan but as you can read everything not hard .


Moros y Christianos with plantains sustains the peasants ,ok once , edibe fodder, nowhere as good as Colombia or Mexico.
If I had only one more Caribean trip I'd go Belize
but can by in English most places as so many tourists retirees, cheap tropical, for women food Thailand for me everytime, If you like colorful Colombia, Brazil , Cuba is ok for rim and cigars awful food , either shabby cheap or International standard International price

Tastes better than it looks

Why??

Larger = more topographical variety
S is Amazonia
N is highlands
Galapagos + neighboring isles
Easy acces to Peru, Columbia, Brazil, etc.
Extremely safe
less gringos
Has Issan feel but very hilly w/ gorgeous waterfalls, jungle...
more affordable

[parryhandy]

^ how would you define "isaan feel" ?

[hick]

Well, my place is 30 clicks outside Udorn...lotsa farming families, easy-going, smiley, cheap, variable weather, fresh food, communal, extended families abound.

I dunno Slow paced and laid back, I suppose.

[parryhandy]

ok thanks Looking at some of your travel threads don't you find Isann from KK to Nong kai scenery wise incredibly bland and boring ?

[Dragonfly]

doesn't matter anyway, Harry will stay all day in the bar pool of his 5 star hotel and get smashed on everything the bar tender will throw at him

[hick]

^^ I know what you mean, Parry but depends on the time of year, I'd say...pretty vibrant now

Hmmmm Galapagos, there's a thought.

Even his shitty undies?

[harrybarracuda]

It's seems the fags are taking over this thread. Perhaps I'll just wait till they've fucked off to get their regular mouthful of katoey cock.

[harrybarracuda]

So, anyone been to Galapagos?

[hick]

I haven't but will be there in about 6 weeks for a long weekend

[tomcat]

...compared to what's on either side of it, CS is a star: beaches, jungle, polite greenery, stable society and politics and a beautiful accessible mountain range running up the middle of it. If Thailand hadn't offered the promise of unimaginable debauchery, I'd be a gringo in CS now.

[harrybarracuda]

Toying with the idea of going there in the spring. The routing seems to be a bitch though. If Qatar would hurry up and be nice to Saudi, I could do most of it in one flight.

i love CA and SA....but interesting article in today's WSJ...

"If you live in Acapulco (or Caracas, Venezuela, or San Salvador) for 70 years, there is a roughly 1-in-10 chance you will get murdered."
