Backpackers : Beware of Drugs and Alcohol
Exciting Times
Oh yes, we’ve all been there. Be it as students or in more “mature” years, travelling and backpacking can be one of the most exciting, fulfilling experiences we ever undertake as individuals. What we also see is the huge level of literature available to travellers to be wary of what they may experience while visiting these places. A key pillar of these informational pieces is drugs awareness. It can be very easy when you’re away and the pressure is off to forget anything else, focus on yourself, you want to have a good time so you’re going to experiment a little bit.
Beware Of The Danger Lurking
Enjoy Yourself
Obviously you want to have fun before returning home and getting a 9-5 and settling into your mundane life. We’d never discourage that, all we ask is that you observe extra caution and heightened levels of drugs awareness at all times. Control alcohol intake at all times and keep your wits about you, don’t accept drinks from strangers and don’t take drugs. Ask yourself if the risk is really worth it? It could be the last thing you do, after all.

AH yes, the joy of backpacking the world without a care in the world does have its price.
Oh yeah, you see many backpackers passed out like that at Koh Phang Nan. lol
Although as a backpacker, I drink too much (its so cheap in South East Asia), I’m too paranoid to even get drugs as the punishment is far out.
