A few more useful things I brought with me.
Day 10: Living in Thailand
Today found me working from home all day, I have not found a lot of food here I really crave for. One thing I do like a lot is the Steamed Dim Sum that you can get for breakfast it�s not cheap compared to other food here, every now and then I will go to a local place in the morning.
- Dim Sum Breakfast 60 Baht - $2.00

Cameras and Photography are not that high on my list of needs. I am glad I invested in something half decent though, that allows people like me to get pretty good shots, it is also compact and has decent video functions, and a powerful zoom. Mine is a Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS A lot of electronics are more expensive here in Thailand than in the states. Best to purchase before leaving the West.
The final thing that I brought with me is a very good set of quality speakers. Been able to relax and watch a movie or listen to music with decent sound, has made a huge difference to the quality of my days. Here is a tip if you have an apple store close to you it is perfectly ok to go buy a pair of speakers a few weeks before leaving, then test them out. Apple stores have a no questions asked refund policy. I used this to test a whole load of speakers ending up purchasing the best Bose had to offer! Computer MusicMonitor� Speakers a travel case can also be added as an accessorie for $59.99. If you are planning on staying in one place for a long time I can highly recommend these speakers.
