I am interested in going out backpacking in Thailand, I'd like to see more of Thailand's historic places aswell as wildlife and if possible, go camping, or stay in a hoste, or something similarl..
where can I get info about travelling through Tailand, and what advice can you give a first time traveler?
Answer
There are numerous travel forums you can use to get information on Thailand. You can also visit a library, you know where they have books you can read, check out some travel guides on Thailand.
You can also use the below travel forums for information. For hotel or hostel recommendations always mention where and how much per night you want to spend. For Thailand you convert YOUR currency in Thailand to Thai baht. Wait until you get to Thailand for the better rate. Bank money changers available at the airport 24 hours a day.

Don't skip Bangkok. Many tourists prefer Chiang Mai for trekking. Backpacking is a term that many tourists use even when they use suitcases. The days of you walking through jungles with a backpack on your way to some hut in the sticks is not that common! There are campgrounds you can use. Do a Google search. There is excellent transportation in Thailand where most time when you have a backpack is only when you are going from airport to bus or taxi and from there to hostel or hotel. On treks or hikes you probably just carry a small bag with munchies, water, sun protection and book to read.
Get a Lonely Planet Travel Guide. Start in Bangkok for a while and end in Bangkok for a few days before you fly back home.
Passport. You need a passport. You need to plan a budget out and see how much per night you can afford to spend for lodging. How much you can spend determines where you stay. You just can't sleep anywhere you want for free or you will be considered a common bum. Don't travel with dopers because they will get you in trouble, they even hide their dope in other peoples bags too. You really don't want to get arrested for dope in Thailand at all!!! Many bar girls are very pretty, when you fall in love with one don't go home and send lots of money back to her because you may not be the only one doing it!

Are there any good exercises to reduce the risk of altitude sickness?
Dances Wit
I am going backpacking in the Colorado Rockies this July. The last time I was in the Rockies, I got pretty bad altitude sickness. This time, I will be going straight from the airport to the trail. Between now and then I am planning to bicycle an average of an hour a day to improve my CV system. Will this help with altitude sickness? Is there anything better I could do? (Preferably, exercise that doesn't involve running. I can walk or bicycle all day, but I hate running.)
Answer
You could look into a hypobaric sleeping chamber to increase your red blood cell count. It's a little far fetched, but you were looking for options right? Mainly being a bit silly, but it is a valid answer.
I am not aware of any specific exercises that help with altitude sickness. In fact, I've been told altitude sickness happens quite apart from your fitness level. Even with that said just keep doing the cardio, it certainly can't hurt. Try swimming if you hate running.
Stay hydrated prior to and during your trip. Take your first day a bit easier. If you get a headache, or other early altitude sickness type symptoms the ONLY real remedy is to head back down hill. Some suggest that you can pop some Tums and the symptoms will subside... perhaps. It is certainly worth having in your first-aide kit for sure.
You can also follow the high-peaks mantra of "hike high, sleep low" to build your cells quickly. So seek lower elevations for camp spots, but head up high for your enjoyment of alpine lakes, open trails, amazing views, and mountain tops!
Have a great trip, and enjoy creation in Colorado.
