• It is advised that you sign up for organized tours of the city so you will not get lost in Bangkok’s maze-like streets.
• If you want to try the food sold in small stalls or food carts in the streets of Bangkok, avoid eating anything raw as this may have been washed in contaminated water, and avoid also crushed ice which has been taken from a dubious source.

· Book early with a cheap hotel and student airline ticket.

• Bangkok is considered safe in terms of violent crime, but still be extra careful for petty theft and scams.
