How did you find a guide in Thailand?

Also, what did you do to keep your equipment safe? Is it dangerous to walk around with a bunch of high-end gear?

No more dangerous than walking around Central New York or LA with "high-end gear"

[HardBoiler]

Great collection! Shwedagon is just amazing! I was there ten years ago and I hope to go back there again soon.
