Stayed at Asia Bangkok Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.

Jim Thompson's house is a short walk away and is well worth a visit. To eat, I recommend the seafood market at Phrom Penh skytrain station near the Emporium. It's like a market where you choose your seafood and vegetables and then it's cooked to your liking - fantastic!

We lined up some tours through the hotel. They were fun. Plenty of great restaurants on the beach, our favorites were Budsoba, Iyata, and Baan Thai. Didn't have a bad meal in Thailand...except KFC at BKK!!

Stayed at Tamarind Village, Chiang Mai - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
|
I had delicious fish tacos at the Salsa Kitchen (part of the Bagel Kitchen) in the old city. The old city is very pleasant for walking in the early morning and the evening, but traffic during the day is pretty bad, and forget going outside the old city on foot. Although the guidebooks say there is no bus service, there is in fact a #10 air conditioned bus which runs around town and goes to the very interesting
Central Airport Plaza shopping mall. Nancy Chandler's Map of Chiang Mai shows the bus route and everything else worth seeing in Chiang Mai - it's well worth the purchase price.

Don't be afraid to try the food stalls, or even restaurants with menus only in Thai. Often, these are illustrated, and one need only point!

Stayed at Majestic Suites - Bangkok, Thailand.

Hotel is close to the Foodland supermarket on Soi 5 for inexpensive food, open 24 hrs/day. Also, across from Foodland - the Amari Hotel, which has a very nice buffet lunch for US $9.

Visited Chiang Mai and Bangkok on this trip. In Bangkok, we recommend Cabbages and Condoms Restaurant located near the Sukhumvit Road shopping area. We enyoyed great Thai food, service and ambience while supporting Thai family planning programs. In Bangkok, the Sky Train and Subway are outstanding and easy for English speaking visitors to use. The complimentary hotel river boats on the Chao Phraya (Marriott, Oriental and Peninsula) connect to the Taksin Saphan Sky Train station and are a great way to beat the traffic. We did not use the mass transit boats on this trip but they are inexpensive and convenient. Be warned however, that some of the Klongs (canals) are very polluted and may be a challenge for those with sensitive noses.
In Chiang Mai, we stayed at the Empress Hotel for a conference and were satisfied with the rooms, service and food. My wife really enjoyed "The Master" Thai cooking school as a tourist venue. We went to three restaurants that stood out. Huen Phen in the old city offered outstanding Lanna Thai cooking in a quiet garden setting. The House on Moon-Muang road featured a very interesting Pacific Rim fusion menu with superb service and presentation. We went with a large group and everyone was very pleased with their menu selections. We also enjoyed an evening at La Gondola, a modern Italian restaurant on the Ping River. For wine afficionados, Thailand can be a challenge since the selections are limited and prices often high. Both of these restaurants offered good wine lists.

Stayed at Zazen Bungalows - Samui, Thailand.
|
Zazen restaurant the best in the area. Cactus also had good food. For a change, there is a superb new Steakhouse and Grill in Fisherman's Village, run by an American guy you can watch cooking from the street and tables.

Stayed at Asia Bangkok Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
The Asia Hotel Bangkok restaurants are very expensive by Thai standards. Mahbukrong (MBK) shopping plaza is only about 500 metres away. Go to the 6th floor food centre. Buy coupons which you then exchange for food at the various counters (they have one counter for vegetarians). Left over coupons can be changed for cash. The food's much better and cheaper than the hotel's.
