I have a friend who has been to Thailand. They recommend going to Phuket. It is an island that is supposedly very beautiful.

If you are American get ready to get ripped off. Try going with someone from That Country.

I wonder how cheap the hookers are....can't wait for the Thai Massage

-p.s. I an american citizen, but I am chinese by birth, so I shouldn't look that far from them...plus money talks.

i went on a tour for $700. hehe. hotel and food included.

you might want to do just some of the tourist things - visit the kings palace, the golden buddha, visit phuket, definitely awesome beach, i also went to pattaya along with bangkok.

actually i heard the hookers like white men the best, then if you're asian the lighter the better. if you're darker they think you're thai...

Was there in 1975, but I imagine things have changed since then

All I know is that there are TON of hookers there.

 

[ugh]

Hookers aside, try Googling for Phuket island or Koh Sa Mui island. These 2 are really good, especially the first one. The latter isn't really that great IMO (personal experience). If you're into city life and all, Bangkok should be good.

Pattaya beach for "action" and bring condoms...


But watch out for merchants who overcharge you using your credit card. I heard that one friend paid $400 US for three bowls of noodles. The credit card company did step in eventually to settle the dispute.
