Disagree. Didn't you recently comment about Newbie memories being some of the best ones. Why would the board only be relevant to geriatric white blokes?

I've got a son in his early 20's and I'm the first person he would come to if traveling to SEA due to my experience. On his few trips to Indo I advised him to never drink anything unless you see them open it in front of you. Few of his mates got sick from not following that advice.

 

Perhaps that's valid for general advice which is probably amongst the most important, but I doubt we are up to what the latest party places are best hotel deals etc

Nice to see my first thread is going swimmingly! Still need to get used to logging in more frequently, although this has the added benefit of me doing more research in the last few days so can actually give some half decent recommendations. So what did I find out!
In short tik tok is full of people giving 1/8 of the experience and just partying/ motorbiking around, quickly got off there. Instagram was a bit better but still much of the same. Maybe showing my age but I went for some good old fashioned blogs. Mike and Laura weren't bad at all, had a few decent articles which gave more than surface level. The one person which I will shout out is Facts & Footsteps, he seems to have been all over the area and has some interesting travel facts to go with it.
Apart from this site, where else is a good source of legit information?

Maybe start by telling us what type of stuff you are interested in. What I find from many of the “influencers” and bloggers is they are mainly interested in focusing on the food and how cheap everything is and partying with other farangs (foreigners, specifically white ones). Some are seeking a “spiritual experience “ by getting a Tattoo and want to know what ink shop is best etc… Others do really want to see the place, go scuba diving, hiking,  experience the non tourist areas as well as the popular areas and others are solely interested in the bars and massage shops…I can say we have all literally been there and done that, so tell away and ask away and we can start trying to tell you what we know and don’t know.
