I've been to Thailand twice (Phuket, via Bangkok), and took my YB400. No
problem receiving BBC and dozens of other English language broadcasts (they
even have the VOA on FM in Phuket!) No shortage of AA batteries there,
either, Thailand is quite progressive commercially (though the way they live
is very old in many cases.. but then, they like it that way.) There are a
large variety of American products available there (though you will find
that sodas taste different, as they use a different sugar for sweetening).
Be prepared for some very friendly people, but watch out for the drivers..
LOL.. they don't even know what side of the road to drive on (well, maybe
they do, if your from Beebland), and don't hold much truck for traffic
laws..
