I already have my one year ED visa (which they helped me get with a letter), my vaccinations, and this weekend I'm buying my plane ticket. I'm also planning on opening up a bank account in Thailand to put my money, that way I won't get owned every time I use an ATM.

I might stop at some other camps at some point. Chay Yai gym in Chiang Mai for instance, and Sinbi if I make it down to Phuket. Really I'd like to stay in Pai though. I'm on a very tight budget.

I think I will bring some shirts for the trainers. I'm from Hawaii so I think I'll get them something with waves or hula girls on it from the swap meet (most people enjoy that kinda thing). I also heard whiskey is a good gift, but I'd feel somewhat strange doing that.
