Thailand is a reality trip after visiting the rest of SE Asia. Not only are there are western stores (Starbucks, McDonalds, KFC, 711, and more), but everything else is western as well: there are regular toilets (not to mention real toilet paper rather than spray guns), real napkins on the table, forks and spoons, consistent electricity, trucks on the road, pop music, real bread, and EVERYONE speaks english.
Coming from Laos, Chaing Mai or other major city in Thailand is as close to home as you can get without actually getting on a plane. But beware, if you are looking for authentic Asia, you're in the wrong place.

Night Pissing
It may seem like SE Asia is paradise: there are beautiful beaches, ancient temples, and lush scenery. But getting around is a bitch!
It doesn't matter what you are promised at the travel agency - your bus will not have a bathroom; the a/c will barely work if at all; the trip will take 2-6 hours longer than they say it will.
So, what is a girl to do? Suck it up sweetheart - and piss on the side of the road. In the dark. With no flashlight. And if you're really lucky, there will be a dirt path you can duck down for some privacy.
