I have to imagine that hitchhiking in Thailand is very easy. I have never been around such open and helpful people in my life. If I'm lost or confused in my city travels - people leap to help me and stop their own plans to get me where I need to be. I'm sure they veer over eagerly to get you off the road.

Yes, it generally is but communication sometimes is a little hard! I feel most Thai people don't really understand why a "farang" is hitchhiking, but once you explain why you like it they seem very glad to help you out and give you a ride! It's also one of the few countries where I found it easier being on the road as opposed to being in a gas station!
I feel most Thai people don't really understand anything about a "farang" and that is why they are so curious. I speak only a few Thai words but have so many friends here! I think any other country after this will be a letdown :)
Well, I guess it kind of depends where you go! But I do really love the mentality, very friendly people genuinely speaking indeed!
Well, I do really like Thailand, but I like Costa Rica even more! I'm obviously biased as I've lived there for 6 months, haha!
How nice. Great beaches - I know from surfer friends.
