Okay.. You have my interest on one of the items NOT to bring with when visiting Thailand.. "any sort of musical instrument." hmmmm.. I feel like you may be able to fork off onto a whole other post on this topic. My mind is wandering and thinking either a lot of people bring guitars, or you've seen a tuba strapped to someones back! haha.. I would think the humidity there would spell disaster for instruments just being carried around by tourists. interesting indeed!!
