A villa for all the family....fabulous!
This is our second visit to Bulgaria and I can honestly say we have fallen in love with the country there is so much on offer you just have to go out and find it. The benefit of this villa has to be the neighbours!! They helped to point us in the direction of fab places and special resturants with helpful maps and local knoweledge.
All in all we are all sad to be back but we will return.....to stroll along the sea front in Balchik, enjoy the delights of the beaches, scream and laugh on the rides at the water park in Albena and eat fabulous food in the many local resturants. Bulgaria and the Villa made a perfect combination with heaps of happy holiday memories made.....Holiday blues have hit us hard.
About the Owner
About Simon Parker
My wife and I work in the UK and have two sons 19 and 21. We both work and look forward to our holidays in Bulgaria, where we have made many really good friends, who either live in Bulgaria or holiday as we do within the Complex and beyond. Every body is so friendly, no matter what you want somebody will help. It is a real community.
Simon Parker purchased this villa in 2010
Why Simon Parker chose Bulgaria
We came to Albena on holiday in 2009 and stayed in the villa adjacent to the one we purchased. We instantly fell in love with the Bulgaria and the resort of Albena and its surrounding resorts, in particular the beaches, the culture and the people, so much so that within 6 months we had purchased our Villa.
What makes this villa unique
With Bulgaria being outside the Euro, the cost of living is approximately 50% of the UK, so you can eat out, or enjoy the entertainment, without it hitting the pocket and the quality of the food and beverage is excellent.

A villa for all the family....fabulous!
This Villa had everything that we requied and within minutes became our home for 17 days. It is far enough away from the pool to be private without being to far away. The views from the front of the villa are a delight day and night. We travelled with my parents and having their own ensuite room away from the main sleeping area made for a very good set up. Our boys then split between the two twin rooms with ourselves in the master. Having an additional two bathrooms helped when we decided to all get ready to go out at the same time. The kitchen is fully equipped and we made good use of all the beach equipment. As villas go we had everything we needed and much more, it was very clean and the bedlinens fresh.......I'm also pleased to report that all the beds had good mattreses and everyone enjoyed good night sleeps. Working in Property Managment I can be hard to please but at no point did I pick up on anything that I would in my line of work.

Great family holiday villa
This is a great villa and location for a family holiday. We are a family of 4 plus 2 in laws and there is more than enough room for us all. Very clean and well equipped. A car is a must for the holiday we ate out every evening as prices so cheap in Bulgaria, balchik was our favourite location for evening meals only 10 minute drive along the coast road. Great food and prices everywhere we ate. Pool was great for kids on the complex as so hot every day we were there. Thanks again to Simon who was always helpful for any information we needed before we arrived. Would highly recommend this villa.
Our holiday
I just wanted to thank Simon and his friends Alison and Terry for making our holiday so fantastic. The villa is beautiful and very well maintained with all the comforts of home. I can not recommend it highly enough and we would definitely book it again. Bulgaria is a lovely place to holiday, great places to go for days out, Albena and Balchik are a must. Our daughter is wheelchair bound and getting her around was a challenge as the roads and pavements are not the best but we managed. What a great holiday!!!

Sorry Simon I meant to post this weeks ago but time has flown by, your villa is perfect, we (a family of four) stayed with friends who are a couple and with the setup you have it was simple to have our own areas whilst sharing the common central rooms. Everything is spotlessly clean and really well equipped. We are from Cornwall & often when away find the beaches to be less than what we are used to but the Albena resort which is 2 minutes down the road is brilliant, just big enough to keep a family with various ages happy without being too big or noisy to spoil a relaxing holiday. I would recommend it to anyone.
Brilliant villa
What a lovely villa. It was everything we hoped it would be. Simon was most helpful answering questions before we left the Uk. We bumped into the next door neighbour as soon as we arrived so we knew where he was if we wanted him. The villa worked very well for our families. Myself and husband (no kids) had the ensuite double off the lounge. This meant our friends ( a couple and 2 children had the other 3 bedrooms and 2 baths which they could actually close off behind a door providing in effect their own wing. Great covered terrace. Used BBQ 3 times. Pools were lovely and lightly used. Restaurant at the complex gave us one of the best meals we had and we travelled the whole of Bulgaria. Could not fault Simon's service or the villa. Would love to go back. Please book this villa - you won't regret it.
Sheer Bliss
Having made arrangements for our holiday, Simon contacted us to advise further help and assistance that was available, airport transfers, local and reasonable car hire(a Must) and a wonderfully stocked fridge of the essentials(including Beer).
we arrived at the airport and our transfer was waiting, a short journey from the airport we arrived at the villa(wow) we arrived late in the evening but the owners of the whole complex were advised by Simon of our late arrival and had the kitchen staff on standby to feed us and the bar was open (what a welcome)
The Villa was extremely well appointed, comfortable and homly made so by Simon and his family with a guide folder of what to do when to do it and where to go whilst in Bulgaria. The Villa was spotless, modern and very very comfortable.
I and my family would not hesitate to recommend this Villa to anyone that wants a comfortable, modern and relaxing holiday.
The only thing left to do is say THANK YOU Simon and his family.

Weekly Forex Forecast: August 4-10
By Elizaveta Belugina
We had a very volatile week. Firstly US dollar strengthened versus the majority of currencies on much better-than-expected GDP growth, but then American currency fell on Friday after NFP was lower than forecast (209K vs. 231K) and unemployment rate increased to 6.2%.
The next week еhe market players will be also assessing the US data and continue making assumptions about the Fed. The week will be also marked by the meetings of the central banks – the RBA, the ECB and the Bank of England and, finally, the Bank of Japan.
EUR/USD retraced 50% of the advance from 2013 to 2014 as it hit the new minimum of 2014 at $1.3366. Even if we don't look at the US, the single currency has its own bearish factors: euro area's inflation fell to 0.4%. In addition, the single currency was hit by the EU sanctions against Russia as they will likely backfire on the European companies and there were problems with Portugal's largest bank, Banco Espirito Santo. The main question now, after NFP is: will euro be able to correct higher next week? It will, if a hammer forms on the weekly chart as the short positions on EUR have reached the maximal levels since November 2012 and the currency has become quite oversold. Moreover, low inflation in the euro region was mostly priced in the pair's rate, and core price growth on the other hand held steady at 0.8%. In addition, the ECB is not expected to do more easing next week. There's talk about negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. There's scope for rebound to $1.3520. At the same time, remember that the trend remains bearish, and the policies of the ECB and the Fed are diverging and soon will be diverging more. On the downside one should watch $1.3370, $1.3550 and $1.3295.
Events to watch:
The picture for GBP/USD looks bearish and a close below the 100-day MA at $1.6855 will confirm the negative scenario. The past week was marked by the strong decline in the UK manufacturing PMI and the IMF's comment that sterling's overvalued. Hawkish comments from the Bank of England seem less likely now. Technically, the pound won't have much support ahead of $1.6700. Resistance is at $1.6935/65.
Events to watch:
USD/JPY met resistance at 103.00. Support is in the 102.40 area and at 102.05/00. The Bank of Japan is widely expected to keep the policy on hold next week. Still, the policymakers might discuss their outlook for exports: if exports stay listless or deteriorate further, the BOJ could come under renewed pressure to add to its already massive stimulus measures.
Events to watch:
AUD/USD has breached important support in the $0.9320 area. Australian dollar was affected by the not so positive risk sentiment which certainly wasn't helped by Argentina's debt default. There also were negative data from Australia. Further resistance is at $0.9360 and $0.9400. The RBA will likely leave policy unchanged. High inflation will make it difficult for the regulator to talk down the currency. Downside target is at $0.9210/00.
Events to watch:

Due to J class being 24/28 with 5 people on the standby list, I was given the business class ticket while my buddy Andrew got Y. I gave him my ticket after we passed the front desk because how often does someone gets to fly J class internationally on a buddy pass?!
|Quoting cptmac (Reply 1):
However....I see the front desk agent walk down the aisle with a boarding pass in his hand. I started to smile as I knew he was going to inform me that a standby passenger failed to show up in time, thus giving me his or her seat. 2G is my new seat.

Hey Mac
Very awesome report. As a fellow non rever but on DL I can appreciate the benefit. It seems u had a couple great flights on AA. Food looked good and u looked comfy. Only thing i find odd in the J cabin, is that you had to use a Samsung device to watch movies! Thanks for taking the time.
|Quoting 767747 (Reply 18):

Great TR. Being able to have parents in the airline industry is a great thing, I make use of my passes as well
I know what you mean on getting ID'd for drinking alcohol, it does suck when it happens, but some FA's don't care and will serve anyone.
|Quoting christao17 (Reply 21):
Nice first trip report. If you want constructive feedback, I'd suggest trimming some of the blurrier shots, especially of the view from the window. But they aren't that big a deal and it was overall an enjoyable report. Look forward to your next one.
As for the IFE on AA (and probably true on many carriers), it amazes me how quickly technology is evolving, such that the systems airlines install are obsolete almost immediately. The Galaxy tablet is great now, but how out of date will it be one or two years from now? Easier to just provide a plug and let passengers use their own devices, it seems.

I had no idea that the 767-300 ER's were once config'd for 3 classes! Very neat fact. I haven't flown on a 767-200 ER yet, though. That's great they also gave the Samsung tablets for a domestic flight, very nice touch indeed.

I don't see how anyone can complain with this IFE. It had tons of new movies such as Skyfall, Les Miserables, Django, Argo, etc. Games. Newspapers, music. I'm a tech savy college student and I was pretty damn impressed. Already seeing several of these movies, I chose to watch Jack Reacher starring Tome Cruise and Rosamund Pike first. I'll save Life of Pi and Les Miserables for later.

|Quoting cptmac (Thread starter):
I found it a bit odd that the FA's actually served all of the full-paying customers first. While I understand completely, a simple gesture such as telling me politely that I will have to wait a few minutes would be appreciated. By the time the FA approached me to take my order (I was the first row!), only chicken was available. It was a bit dry and while the a la vodka sauce was limited, I left some of the chicken untouched. the pasta wasn't too shabby. If I was a full-paying customer, I wouldn't be exactly happy with this meal but hey, i can't really complain, eh?
|Quoting cptmac (Thread starter):
Overall, I had a great experience flying to Dublin and back. J class was awesome, the FA's and purser were incredibly friendly and engaging, food and service were great. To be honest, looking at a lot of AA TR's here on a.net, I'm quite surprised what a bad rap the airline gets. I must have logged at least 50 flights (most on Y) and never had a bad experience (excluding multiple run-in's with the front desk agents). I guess it's a hit or miss, really. And the fact that I haven't had the opportunity to be spoiled by the legendary asian airlines.

Aleksandra Markovich (Cypher)
As I stepped from the house, the roar of a helicopter nearing, the scene unfolded like some cheezy American drama. There stood our target's wife, tears streaming from her eyes. She was well dressed for the house and blood covered her once angelically white shirt.
She may have been old but looked like one of those older women that men chased, Cougars, as Americans call them. The kicker in this almost laughable scene was the gun pressed to Shade's head, flush against his throbbing temple. The woman's face twisted, a sour look falling upon her once kind featured face.
"You killed my husband. Now you're here to kill me too!" The woman didn't seem to understand the situation. She was not in control, just in the way.
The silencer on my pistol hissed as a bullet tore through the womans face and sprayed brains and skull matter all over Shade. Why had he just frozen there, he had the gun and the training to kill her and in the moment he froze. Like a deer in the headlights.
"Don't ever make me do that again!" I growled, roughly grabbing his wrist and running for my life. The roar of the helicopter was almost deafening now, a whine screaming from the rotors when two flashes sparked over head.
"Get out of there!" Wraith screamed over the radio.
"Down no-" The rest of my sentence was drowned out by a large explosion, Nova's house erupted in flames. A plume of black smoke rose and was tossed around by the ever present rotors. I kept Shade pressed to the ground as flaming debris began to rain, it was an apocalyptic scene spread before us. Then a shot rang out, followed by another, then a succession of shots. Wraith...that has to be Wraith's rifle. That was the only thought that pushed through the smoke, the fire, and the thick forest around us.
I lifted Shade a bit and turned my eyes skyward. The craft had begun a ballet dance whirling round and round, tilting every which way until it nosed forward and plowed into the ground. More explosions followed as the helicopter was in its final death throws. Finally I stood, coughing and wiping dirt and debris from my clothes.
"Fuck!" I shouted angrily, it had all back fired...all the time and planning ruined. "FUCK!" I shouted louder, digging one hand into my pocket and the other gripped with the silenced pistol tightly.
"Shade? Cypher?" A voice called through the blackened veil.
"We're here," I shouted back, amazed that this team had actually survived the mishap.
Shade stared at me, I'm sure he could tell I was pissed but I didn't bother. Someone had known and set all of the theatrics up for us. The only ones who knew were SPIES and my team. And much as I hated to admit it, Shade and Wraith would have never compromised the mission. Eventually Wraith's form appeared and neared us, I cast a glance to the burning helicopter remains.
"Good Shot but we have a problem, someone compromised us and this entire mission. They knew we were coming and they left a welcoming party. Let's go," I turned on my toes and stalked back through the forest and down the road to our hide house.
"We're gonna check our set up for bugs, cameras, anything to give us clues." I turned back to the Americans my expression softening a bit.
"Glad you're both alive." With that I returned my attention back to the mission at hand. Can't let them think I'm going soft on them now can I?

Respect yourself first
There's a relatively new trend, or rather, a movement, in college athletics that has slowly made its way to Xavier. It's called the "boobment." Yes, you heard that right. Boobment.
For those of you who do not know, the boobment is a new Twitter phenomenon in which college girls can apparently show support for their team by sending pictures of their chest partially covered by a shirt bearing their team's logo or name. In short, women send pictures of their moderately covered breasts to Twitter under the guise of supporting a team. I'll be frank here: this is ridiculous. Now, I'll spare you all - and myself - the "objectification of women in a patriarchal society" rant. That's not what I'm about today.
What I am about is respect and wondering where the hell it is when it comes to women that are willing to do this and, more specifi cally, the woman who started it. Yes, you read that correctly. A woman at Kansas University started
the boobment in order to "show her support for Kansas
basketball." Call me oldfashioned, but if you want to show your support for a basketball team, go to a game, or better yet, show that you know something about the game you're such a fan of. If you want to support basketball, discuss the pros and cons of a zone defense; don't let people discuss the pros and cons of your zone. Respect yourself and other women enough to show that you're worth more
than your body. Women have been working for decades to prove that they are more than just a pretty face; more than just a body to please men (or women, no need to be heteronormative here). Women have to respect themselves, and each other, if they expect to be treated with the respect that many fi ght so hard for. Many women fi ght an uphill battle simply to be accepted in their line of work; don't make them fi ght that battle to be a sports fan as well. It's like the golden rule, only slightly modifi ed: treat yourself the way you'd like to be treated. Don't allow someone to diminish you to only what you can contribute
physically. Show those around you that you can support a team by cheering harder when Erik Stenger tries to make a free throw - because you know he needs the help - not by showing everyone that you know how to wear Xavier
across your chest. As Xavier students, is this what you want people to think of our university and the women that
attend it? As a Jesuit university, what does it say about respecting all people when we can't even respect ourselves? Spoiler alert: it doesn't say anything good Now, this is not something that is run by the university.
Xavier didn't create the "XUBoobs" Twitter. But someone at
this university did, and 405 people follow it. Four hundred and five of your peers, classmates, roommates and friends support this movement. Respect yourself and those around you enough to shut it down. If you follow it, stop. If you
know someone who does, encourage them to unfollow it. The same goes for those who send in pictures;
respect yourself and don't send them. A movement can't go anywhere without followers, quite literally in this sense.
So do yourselves (and everyone) a favor and start a new movement of respect; It starts with you.

Andrea Barrett was a dream come true! Going to the dentist has never been my favorite thing to do. I found Ms. Barrett's name in a directory thru my place of employment a few years ago. She pulled 2 of my wisdom teeth and I never felt a thing. I also had my daughter get her check ups with Ms. Barrett. Today I am disabled with a great deal of pain in my mouth because of my health condition. I would be the happiest woman in the world if Ms. Barrett participated with my insurance so she could relieve this pain I am dealing with every day in my mouth. Andrea Barrett gets a 4 star rating with me and my daughter!

Working for twenty-plus years as a photojournalist has allowed me to see and experience much of this country and the world.
But photojournalism can, and should be done anywhere and everywhere. In it's simplest form my job is about story telling, and there are people and stories right here in our own backyards that are as important and as compelling as many international stories.
Much of our work in this industry revolves around single images, but what I enjoy most are the opportunities to spend prolonged periods of time working on stories — especially those that are not being covered by the mainstream media.
Every day, on every assignment, I try to make the strongest images I can — to convey with accuracy and honesty the stories that should be told.

Black Bears hope to avoid blue birds' trapPisgah 6-0 in Mills River in its last six trips
CANTON — The Pisgah varsity football team's 29-23 victory over Franklin last Friday was unquestionably a defining moment for the Black Bears' football program.
The win was Pisgah Head Coach Brett Chappell's 100th win as a head coach.
However, the moment is over.
Undefeated Pisgah (6-0, WNCAC 2-0) still has a WNC Athletic Conference championship in its sights and it still is on a collison course with undefeated Tuscola in next week's 53rd County Clash at Memorial Stadium in Canton.
So, the Black Bears will let the victory over the Panthers go and do whatever they have to to avoid the time-worn concept of the "trap game" — in Mills River tonight against a very determined West Henderson team.
As a matter of fact, the Pisgah players really don't need much to remind them what West Henderson (3-3, WNCAC 1-1) is capable of tonight. They just have to watch film of last year's 16-14 loss to the Falcons at Memorial Stadium.
History is on the Black Bears' side in tonight's WNCAC matchup with the Falcons as Pisgah is 6-0 in its last six trips into Johnson Stadium.
Team stats are also on the side of the Black Bears as Pisgah scores an average of 33.8 points a game, while the stout Milltown defense gives up just 8.5 points per game. Meanwhile, the Falcons are scoring 25.8 points a game and allowing 29.0 points per game.
Last and not least is "mojo" is on the side of the Black Bears after beating Franklin last week, while West Henderson has been thumped in two of its last three games (41-7 at Smoky Mountain, 62-48 vs. Mountain Heritage).
To carry the night in Mills River and return to Canton still undefeated, Pisgah will need to rely on a den of seniors, beginning with split end Trey "Spiderman" Morgan, who has caught 32 passes for 538 yards with 12 touchdowns. Running back Michael Parrott adds a special element to the running game with his bruising-style, rushing for 529 yards and four TDs this season, while Isaiah Fisher has been superb on both sides of the football for the Black Bears.
Linebackers Jeff Albritton and Tanner Lanning have really put on a show for the fans throughout the season with their friendly tackle competition.
Two weeks ago, Albritton led the team in tackles, last week it was Lanning's name at the top of the list and coming into the West Henderson game, the pair are tied for the team lead with 47.0 total tackles each, while cornerback Houston Rogers is nipping at their heels trying to make it a three-man race.
The play so far this season of the seniors is near the top of the list of reasons why Pisgah is undefeated.
However, the play of sophomore quarterback Tanner Wike may be the reason at the top of the list the Black Bears are off to its best start since the 2006 season.
Through six games, Wike has amassed 1,109 yards in total offense, passing for 662 yards and rushing for 447 with 18 combined touchdowns. Currently, he is on track to surpass 1,000 yards passing and has an outside shot at surpassing 1,000 yards rushing.
Pisgah has the history, the stats and the mojo are their side for tonight's game at West Henderson. Chappell is also one of the best at getting his team to focus on one single issue.
The focused Black Bears storm into Mills River and cages the blue birds.
Byrd's Prediction
Pisgah 31, West Henderson 0

What if your planned customer support e-mail is different from your current address in Deskun? In this case, you need to set mail receiving from that e-mail. You can do it with Deskun setup assistant when creating a new project, or configure an existing queue manually.
1. Setup assistant in Control Panel
1.1. In Control Panel create a new queue and select «Customer support» option.
2. Specify a queue name, then enter an e-mail address which will accept your customer requests − it will be also used as a sender address (step 2).
3. In order to respond to customer requests, you need to confirm the access to external e-mail. To do that you need to know the SMTP-server, port, username and password. In most cases Deskun detects SMTP-server and port automatically. If auto-detection does not happen, contact your e-mail provider (step 3).
1.4. After confirming access to e-mail you need to set up mail receiving from external mailbox. There are two methods:
1.4.1. Use POP3 protocol. Gmail allows you to add additional mailboxes to your account in order to receive messages and reply to them. Setup instructions can be found here and here.

Set e-mail redirection from this address to email@example.com through your host or registrar. All messages will be forwarded to your Deskun account. This enables you to receive all customers requests as tickets, create filters for different types of requests, configure auto reply, etc.

Ticket is an entity in Deskun. It is used to call either an external request (Help Desk system) or an internal task (project management system). The ticket has the following attributes:
More about creating tickets in Deskun.
Agent is a user with installed Deskun plugin. Usually, agents are company employees. They can set and execute tasks as well as answer customer requests. Assigned access rights define agents' ability to handle specific projects or queues.
If the company has a large amount of employees there is a need to unite them in various agent groups within Deskun framework. Thus, you can save time and set access rights for projects or queues to the entire group of agents. Once your new staff members are assigned to a group they automatically have access rights to perform their duties.
For a large web-studio you can create several agent groups, such as Designers, Developers and Managers.
A project means a working space where you can create queues and invite agents. Naturally, one project covers either the entire company, or one of its lines of business or products.
A large medical holding might have several projects such as Dentistry, Family Medicine and Experimental Pet Clinic.
More about creating and managing projects in Deskun.
Queues are made to distribute tasks within one project. As a rule, one queue matches to a separate business-process within the project.
Let's take a large medical clinic with a Dentistry project. Inside the project there can be several queues, e.g., Complaints, Visit Schedule and Staff Test Drilling.
More about creating and managing queues in Deskun.
Ticket owner is an agent who created that ticket. When Deskun is used as Help Desk service the ticket owner is a customer sending a request to Deskun-assigned mailbox.
Ticket provider is an agent assigned to the ticket. Usually, the provider is responsible for ticket handling and while the issue is processed he/she assigns the ticket a relevant status.
More about setting and changing ticket provider in Deskun.
Priority is a ticket attribute indicating urgency of the matter. Deskun has the following priorities for tickets:
Which priority to set to a particular ticket should be written in internal company documents. If such regulations haven't been written yet use common sense and general notions.
More about setting and changing ticket priority in Deskun.
Ticket status means request or task status. Deskun has the following ticket statuses:
More about setting and changing ticket status in Deskun.
Deadline means you can set a date by which your ticket should be resolved. This ticket attribute is not mandatory. When deadline is set such ticket is added with a special tag indicating deadline date. With the date closing tag color changes. Ticket owner should avoid deadline violation.
More about setting and changing deadline in Deskun.
The checklist is a list of items for execution that can be added to a ticket. Checklists can be used to create sub-tasks within a "bigger" task, or as a list of ticket requirements.
More about checklists in Deskun.
Note is a special entry in a ticket to record any internal or reference data. Notes are not letters and invisible for customers. Only agents handing such ticket with installed Deskun plugin can review notes.
More about making notes for tickets in Deskun.
Mail tracking in Deskun means you can be notified once your email or ticket has been read.
More about switching and working with tracking in Deskun.
Once an agent starts answering a ticket it is immediately locked. A lock icon () is displayed at the ticket line.
Once the ticket has been locked other agents can only review its content but can't answer it. It prevents answering to the ticket by two agents simultaneously.
More about setting or removal ticket lock in Deskun.
Ticket age shows total amount of minutes, hours and days the ticket exists in Deskun. Once it is closed and reopened its age is reset since the system considers it as repeated request.
Snooze is a Deskun function to postpone a letter and reopen it in a specified time. It's convenient if you want to be reminded about your letter some time later.
Such function for tickets is implemented by changing ticket status. Its solution can be postponed for a particular time.
You are going to email your contractor on an important issue. You assume your contractor is not really conscientious person or the issue is quite complicated. And you need to track the answer but leaving the letter in the folder is not a viable option. Then apply Snooze for this e-mail and exactly after the period you've set Deskun will remind you about it – the e-mail will appear in its initial folder/queue. If the answer is still not there you can contact your contractor once again.
More about setting and changing snooze in Deskun.
Send later in Deskun means you can set the time and date to send your e-mail.
More about setting or changing delayed messaging for your emails in Deskun.
Message templates is a Deskun function, allows you to create and save a text that can be used to answer emails, create emails and tickets.

I'm going to be going on a trip to hot Thailand soon, and want to bring a few ultra thin merino wool shirts with me. I know wearing black when its hot and sunny can be pretty brutal, so wearing white shirts is quite mandatory. I would just buy a merino wool shirt in Thailand, but I'm fairly certain I can't just buy a shirt my size without a lot of work.
Thing is that it's fairly hard to find a white merino wool shirt that is locally available, and the lightest color I've been able to find is a grey colored shirt. I can't really test if a grey shirt will boil me up while I'm in cold Canada, so do you guys think it will work in Thailand?
The shirt in question

Michael WalkerMember
@mwalkerLocale: Everywhere. All of the time.
That colour will be fine I'd say. White gets dirty and stays discoloured anyway.
Dark shirts are definitely hotter, but it's never been enough to bother me. I always seem to end up with dark, navy blue shirts working outside in Australia. I do enjoy a good 40C day though so ymmv.Mar 8, 2010 at 10:48 pm #1583897
Merino wool in Thailand? Seriously?
I can guarantee you that you will sweat profusely no matter what — and your wool tee will hold on to that sweat so much that it will feel like a wet rag on you. Like cotton — if not worse.
A much better option IMO is something blended — 80/20 polyester/cotton. You will still sweat like a pig — but as soon as you stop for a rest (in the shade or better yet a nicely air conditioned cafe or restaurant or mall) — your blended tee will dry much faster — meaning you will feel comfier sooner.
Also, white is a nice color but it is certainly not mandatory. You see, what's brutal is not the temperature per se — unless you insanely love to stand right under the hot tropical sun instead of looking for shade like everybody else — but the high humidity! And color won't make a difference in this department. I'd say any color is fine except for black and truly dark colors.
EDIT: I should add that nighttime at higher elevations in northern Thailand can be cool (not cold, but cool). While wool can be nice in cold temps, synthetics or 80/20 blend base layer can provide a wider range of comfort — with, say a light wind breaker / shell on top.
Finally, one GREAT thing about white — esp. on long trips… colored tees get "tired" after repeated washings and whites become progressively "off white". BUT, while there's little you can do to resuscitate tired colors, you can periodically bleach your whites and they come back looking brand new again and again.Mar 9, 2010 at 1:05 am #1583922

I don't think you'll find any merino in Thailand.
I've worn merino in very hot conditions, and prefer it to cotton or synthetic.
It's also great when you go into an airconditioned place, which can be freezing in a thin cotton shirt.
Try Icebreaker- they do 150 weight merino polos and t-shirts of various colours.
Only tourists wear white, so if you want to stand out as a tourist…. tropical fantasy.
I travelled around India with two pairs of linen pants, two shirts and some merino boxers- for a year no problems.
Merino doesn't need to be washed that often and doesn't smell, even after a few days. YMMV, of course.
Dark shirts are a bad idea more for the fact they attract mosquitoes at night, whereas lighter shirts don't.

@benp1Locale: London
These countries are HOT
I would suggest forgetting t shirts altogether, I find shirts much more comfortable. I often wear long sleeved synthetic travel shirts, they dry quick, can be washed easily and keep me cool as they are looser fitting.
I roll up the sleeves for normal use but if you need to look smarter or cover your arms then they get rolled down. The collars are also often made with fold out sections to protect your neck from the sun, and the chest pockets are useful for putting things in, particularly sunglassesMar 9, 2010 at 6:02 am #1583957
Great comments Ben.
There's another great benefit to wearing smarter shirts, and that's that people are more likely to take you seriously and not just see you as a tourist or source of income.
The last time I traveled through India and SE Asia, I wore almost exclusively very light weight long pants and button down shirts I had made for me in India, using exactly the same mostly synthetic fabrics all the locals wear. With custom tailoring, they still cost less than anything off the shelf here, fit absolutely perfectly, looked great, and helped a tremendous amount with blending in.
As for 'performance,' they were as good as anything you'll find in high heat and humidity here, maintained full sun protection when necessary, the shirts having buttons, collars and cuffs could ventilate, and they'd keep bugs off you.
Also, if you are concerned about blending in, aside from skipping T-shirts, don't wear Tevas or any other of those types of footwear.Mar 9, 2010 at 8:55 am #1584004
I've worn both ventilated shirts (Mountain Hardwear Canyon) and tees. Truth be told, when it's hot and humid, nothing is comfortable — likely not even walking nekkid. But for me, I find tees to be less uncomfortable than shirts. While shirts theoretically ventilate better, they are also heavier — more fabric on me when what I want is less. Rolling up the sleeves, for example, is just that many more layers around the upper arms. But shirts do have their advantages. Sun blocking, as mentioned, is one major advantage.
But regardless of shirts or tees, when you finally dash into the shade or an A/C area — the synthetic or blended materials will get comfy and dry much more quickly than cotton or wool.
Thailand is a middle class country where many can now afford the more expensive merino wool apparel. That no one (or practically no one) wears wool tees or shirts over there should tell travelers something.Mar 9, 2010 at 9:00 am #1584008
Don't worry about blending in. Unless you are ethnically SEA, you are NOT going to blend in. You WILL stick out.
Wear tees or shirts. Wear shoes or sandals (e.g. Tevas). Just avoid wearing really loud or "weird" clothing and avoid expensive / high sentimental value jewelry. And for pete's sake, don't even try to "blend in" by wearing Thai fishermen pants! :)Mar 9, 2010 at 11:29 am #1584056
"Don't worry about blending in. Unless you are ethnically SEA, you are NOT going to blend in. You WILL stick out."
But that's not how I meant it, and I think you know that.
And what's maybe normal and quiet to you and I here in California–read, Tevas shorts and T-shirts–may be a little less quiet than you realize to some people for whom bare legs are still uncouth. Dare I say, disrespectful.
And I'm not talking about Bangkok, HK, Singapore, etc. More like all the places in between.Mar 9, 2010 at 11:38 am #1584063

I think its ok to wear whatever you want regarding local standards of attire–you are a *visitor* at any rate. I would, however, advise against going out of your way to insult said local culture, or purposefully be obnoxious, by the clothes you choose to wear.
Now, if you are warned beforehand of an area that is particularly hostile to those not conforming to local traditions, well, then dress accordingly!Mar 10, 2010 at 12:14 am #1584467

It's the MEC merino wool micro light shirt. 100% merino wool. Very thin wool actually works very well in hot weather and is nothing like the wool sweaters you commonly associate with wool. I just remember it being 30 degrees in a black merino shirt, and then wearing a white cotton shirt and feeling a lot cooler. I was wondering if I could get away with something not white. Or even a darker shade of color.
I've also found icebreaker/smartwool shirts locally too, but they are almost twice the price. They do come in different colors. One is off white, blue and orange. This was mostly a question about color.Mar 10, 2010 at 12:46 am #1584472

Look into the Rail Riders Eco T. T shirts with mesh sides. Lighter colors available too. I think Ben has already provided a lot of good information. In humid climates I like to bring a synthetic Hawaiian style shirt. Looks good and you can unbutton as needed. Personally I like loose fitting shirts, and find I am more comfortable in them.Mar 10, 2010 at 1:25 pm #1584679

@johng10Locale: Mid-Atlantic via Upstate NY
It's usually around 85-100* F and 80-100% humidity in Maryland & Northern Virginia in the summer. Loose poly t-shirts and loose nylon shorts are way more comfy than anything else for me, my wife, and 2 kids. Even heavier fabric shorts are way cooler in high humidity than lighter fabric pants. Loose shirts are way cooler feeling than tight fitting Under-armor style shirts in high humidity. Synthetics that flash dry are comfy 5 minutes after you stop hiking in high humidty, but things that don't flash dry stay "wet & clammy" feeling for 45 minutes. Loose fit is important, not because it creates a breeze (at least that I can feel), but because that way every one of your normal movements causes the shirt to "unstick" itself from your skin so you feel less wet and clammy.
Caveat; The hiking is in the forest here, so sunburn is not an issue.Mar 10, 2010 at 5:10 pm #1584769

All this posturing by arm-chair philanthropists, about the ins and outs of the clothing insults, in other parts of the world, I invariably hear every time anybody talks about attire when travelling crack me up.
The reality is, outside of extremely religious areas (read: middle-east) people from my experience aren't nearly as up-tight about what people wear as we tend to make them out to be.
Frankly, very few cultures expect us to live up to the standards we *perceive* them to have.
If you're walking around in slacks and a button-down in any tropical country, and you're not there on business, you're a fool.
I've spent over 90% of my life outside of the USA, and I've never encountered a problem with my attire or appearance anywhere. I've got a full beard and dreadlocks down to my bottom.
Maybe some uptight paragons of local society secretly shun me, but if they do, they keep it to themselves, and I've gotten on just fine without them.
Wear what makes you comfortable, as long as you don't look like a Miami street hooker, I'm sure you'll make plenty friends.
If I were after a mark in some place like Thailand, I'd rob the guy in the suit.
Peace. :pMar 12, 2010 at 3:18 am #1585561

I've been in Thailand recently wearing wool t-shirts exclusively (lightest weight icebreaker/smartwool) and I've been pretty comfortable.
I think you'll sweat a lot no matter what t-shirt you're wearing and due to humidity even polyester t-shirts won't dry on you, so pick something that feels ok when wet.
Also, they're pretty crazy with AC, so expect drastic temperature changes every time you'll go into subway/bts/any shop etc, which is pretty often.
Enjoy the trip, it's a wonderful country.Mar 12, 2010 at 11:03 am #1585679

I've heard from a reliable source that Thailand is different depending where you will live. Mostly hot and humid. But some parts are dry until monsoons.
My wife lived there four years when she was a little kid. She had three brothers and the four of them usually ran around without shirts.
So I think anything will work out. Maybe go with some traditional clothing. It looks better than our boring tees. Go for it!Mar 13, 2010 at 3:55 am #1585979

If you're so bothered by what to wear, just go with a cheap set of clothes, get to your destination, and buy from the locals. Then leave behind or donate what you wore to these countries. I have a friend who does this. She travels quite a bit and alway returns with cool stuff, donating what she doesn't need. You'd be surprised what really works for travel when buying locally.

The stage performances have been written and produced by the inimitable Richard Leigh, best known in magic circles as the man behind some of London's most spectacular illusions performed over the past decade. Just make sure you hold today's deal tight before it slips up his sleeve.
After frightfully good fun? Then take a look at our Halloween Fun & Events.
