Yes, I've been through Thungsung as well. To me that is more rual. The real country. Yes, I'd say there were some really rough looking men there. But nothing to the point where I was too uncomfortable. I'd say they were more interested in seeing a farlang than doing something do one. But then again the looks from pretty girls made up for all the other looks. I plan to go back there soon.
Yes I agree.....they are most pleasant ....but I wouldn't mess with them...and that was reference with flashing too much cash in a singasong bar and outbidding the locals as it was put.
The other thing I have noticed about NST is actually no concept of ripping off farangs......Whenever I'm there it reminds me of how cheap things really are out there.....
