Best 20th Birthday present EVER!

Its my birthday this saturday and I had been planning to go to Thailand with my boyfriend for a month at the end of august.... until I didn't manage to get a job or enough work to save the money to go. My super amazing mum and boyfriend have decided to pay for my flights as my birthday present! How cool is that?! I was so disappointed thinking I couldn't go even though I just about have enough for spending money. I'm just over the moon!! Hope I find some face paints over there! A friend of mine got amazing uv body paint while she was there, try and track that down!
Anyone thats been to Thailand and has some tips, places to see, things to do, please let me know!

we spent 6 weeks there at the beginning of the year and i had the time of my life!!! you must be so excited! be wary of anything ya buy there lol, i'd be more likely to trust stuff from home.

how long are you there and what approx areas? would happily give you some advice

oh...that's great!

I don't think i'd trust any paint on kids faces anyway! but the paint my friend got was fine with our skin. I definitely wouldn't use it without testing on myself first.

We are still not 100% sure where exactly we are going to go, but were talking about spending 2 weeks around Shangmai and up North, then heading down to the coast and islands for the other 2 weeks. We are going for around 4 weeks. Its going to be amazing! And i'll get to have a REAL summer seen as Ireland doesn't do them!

Sounds awesome! I love visiting other countries/cultures! My bro spent 3 months in Thailand. He brought his bike(he's a bike messenger in LA & doesn't own a car). He's a little out there, so he left the tourist stuff & immersed himself in the culture. He said it was amazing.
