So, Im going to thailand (only bangkok) and Vietnam (ho chi min city and more big citys) and I wanted to know if there are any stores over there. And are the products cheaper? Thanks in advance ;D

Are things cheaper...Diddy Mau, Diddy Now!

Yup, everything over there is cheaper...Everything...just make sure you keep a good head on yourself. It's easy to lose it over there with cheap booze and everything else. If you go anywhere, use public transport or cabs and don't rent a car, if you get in an accident, everyone will assume it was you at fault, no ifs and or buts.

Don't drink the water without boiling it. Check the bottom of bottles in cheap bars because they quite often hollow them out and use different, cheaper booze.

You can buy red bull syrup over there, don't do it! You will get seriously addicted and end up riding a tuk tuk backwards through a marketplace screaming quotes from Rambo at the top of your lungs and the locals don't like that.

Don't buy any jewels...seriously, its a very common scam over there. DVDs are so cheap its not funny, but they are all pirated and always badly made. In thailand prostitution is legal I think...its everywhere...In vietnam, it is not, so if you get busted doing something naughty you're going to jail bigtime.

If a cop is asking for a bribe, give it to em and shut up and leave, you're the rich westoner over there and they know it.

Hmm, and as everywhere else, if something looks to good to be true, it is, this is nowhere truer than in south east asia.

And lastly, if a hot girl is eyeing you from across the room and saunters over and starts hitting on you...chances are shes either a pro or a he...

That being said, they're both awesome countries and not nearly as bad as they're made out. If you make a proper attempt to speak the local language they will be your best friends, but if your a douche...then you'll end up like Schapelle Corby...

Have fun!

Oops, I just reread your post and you said 'stores' not 'stories' you probably meant GW stores!

In that case, ignore what I said, and, I don't know, sorry mate!

Hehe, last year I also went to thailand (my parents are real travellers, and been to asia 25 years ago. Now they are addicted again ^^) and everything you sounds sounds so familiar (:

And about the girl hitting on you. I know thats true. And its damn hard to check whenever its a boy or a girl. But Im only 16 so I won't bring any wives back ^^
