I'm going to be heading off to Thailand on Saturday (Bangkok 2 nights, then Phuket for 3 then back to Seoul). I am not really bringing anything, just a pair of shorts, some tshirts, socks/underwear and my toothbrush and electric shaver. I'm gonna pick up some swim trunks and sandals there. I have a medium sized swiss army backpack that has a padded laptop compartment. I wasn't going to bring it.. but since there's plenty of real estate in my bag I'm now thinking I might want to. It's going to be a 6-7 hour flight and the airplane will have outlets. Both hotels we'll be staying in aren't of the shady variety and both have wi-fi. I was originally going to make due with just my mp3 player and ds.. but I'm thinking it might be worth it for the plane there and back alone to bring it with me...
Am I crazy? Has anyone had any bad experiences traveling with one? It will spend most of the time in my bag, in the hotel.. but will be nice to whip out in bed at night to load up pictures... check my email and stay in touch... not to mention provide entertainment. It's my only computer but any important data I can throw onto a memory card and keep it here just in case.
It's unnecessary and purely a luxury to bring it.. but I'm thinking it might be a nice one to have. Am I nuts? It's not like I'm going backpacking.. Just going to explore bangkok for a few days and lay on a beach drinking fruity cocktails the other 3 What do you travelers do? I'm just poser having only been to the US and Taiwan...
