I love to be in bangkok on my next holiday

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 !!

Hi... thinking of going to Thailand this summer. Where are the best places weather wise.... and I only have 2 weeks!!! x

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.

Loud Noises!!!!
