Thailand

[PyramidJC]

Hello

I have been all over the states, Dubai, Singapore on holiday and I am planning this year's trip for myself and my girl friend, my travel agent is recommending Thailand, can anybody give me some advice whether it's a great place to go or not. Any other suggestions would also be welcomed.

well its a great place for backpackers i've been to bangkok stayed for month before travelling to the north for treckin in the hills.bangkok great place for cheap everything i stayed near koh san road that seem to be busy enough bars,resturants and cheap digs would love to go back. i would try and stay hotel called d+d on koh san road or sawasdee hotels they are at a good standard,get your self to big market for all cheap goods.go treckin in chang mai 3days fantastic for seeing thailand out of the city great trips with elephant riding and bamboo rafting you get to see wonderful sights

Its a few years since I have been to Thailand but could certainly recommend it, my only suggestion would be to make Bangkok the stop at the end of your holiday, a lovely bustling place with a chance to get the last min bargains, We travelled to Hua Hin and this is also very enjoyable although to be honest all of Thailand is lovely.
Enjoy if you decide to go.

Thank you for your advice so far, i've spoken to my travel agent and Koh Samui has been recommended, has anybody been there before??

i would say depends on what style of hol you want samui is alittle more main stream as it has kfc more for package travellers where as koh pang yan is more backpackers staying in huts by by beech with louder beech bars and of couse the full moon party (for this check youtube full moon partys) wicked selection of vids
