Bangkok

We began our adventure in Bangkok and decided to kick it off in luxury. We booked into a suite at the Grand Hyatt. The best hotel I have ever stayed at hands down! The pool was deserted and overlooked the city from a peaceful height.

Having been to Bangkok before we knew our favourite sights and sounds and headed for the Suan Lum Night Bazaar.
We then treaded the beaten path to Pat Pong and danced and drank in its many bars and clubs.

The next day we visited the giant golden buddah, and many other buddah's. After a few temples they all begin to merge into one!for me, Bangkok is all about the markets and the buzz.

However, we were both very excited to move onto Vietnam!

3 days is enough for Hanoi! That was long enough period to do without smiles, to confront rude service and too much pollution. The quaint colonial ambience has been replaced with a breakneck charge ..... led by 5 million motorbikes!...into the money grabbing consumerist economic giant cousin of its neighbour China. Eat and run!!!

Am nae one fer cities but Bangkok's a brilliant city, really love the smells,the noise and the general "feel" of it !! Been there twice and loved it both times.
I enjoyed Koh Samuii as well, but it was 1993 when a wis there and we did stay at a real cool b'packers so... everyone's different !! But Thailand generally, especially Bangkok rawks in ma opinion !!

If you mean summer as in July, August then it will be hot and wet in Thailand. The best time to go is between November and March, if you like great beaches then head to Phuket and Krabi or Koh Samui.

I agree with IanP the best time to go is between November and March. And THE best beaches are in Phuket by far.Cha-Am is a nice place to go as well as Krabi and Koh Samui which are indeed tourist traps but we still found the people welcoming and friendly and we were not on a luxury holiday. We are going back to Phuket this year in November (this is our fourth visit to Thailand and our second to Phuket, the last time we were there the Sunami struck just six weeks later.
