Why Thailand though? From my opinion, Malaysia is a much better place for you to find talent, and enjoy your life a lil bit. If you willing to spend a lil bit more then try Singapore.

For good company during travelling, try couchsurfing. It's big everywhere in Asia.

Screw couchserfing, people there have a radically different set of values from mine, as I found.

Malaysia is wonderful, I've been there once. However it's a bit more expensive and I don't think I can afford it currently. Then there are visa problems and my friend also told me, that agents are very reluctant to rent an apartment for less than a year there, which is not really acceptable for me.
