Traveler A:
For my winter vacation, I tried to join the "Around the World in 60 Minutes" campaign tour but lost the lottery. So I booked a different package tour: five days and three nights in Thailand and Cambodia. The package included airfare, hotel and some meals.
I landed in Bangkok in the afternoon and checked into my luxury hotel. The package offered cheaper hotels, but I worry about security and cleanliness. You can catch diseases in these countries. I was afraid of eating the local food, too. The hotel offers international cuisine, including Japanese food. The staff can even speak Japanese!
I thought it was dangerous for a woman to walk around Bangkok at night, so I took a taxi to Siam Square to a restaurant recommended in my guidebook, "How to Walk Around the Earth."
