Bangkok was wonderfull. There was a lot of shopping and site seeing. We recommend you get out to a beach city for a day or two as well as Bangkok could become a little overwhelming. Don't forget to pick up a Nancy Chandlers Map for bangkok. It is very helpful.

If you walk up to Patpong, turn down the road on the right next to California Wow gym and there's a restaurant on the left that serves amazing Tom Yam soup - I can't remember the name of it, but it's a Thai restaurant near the top of the road.

Soi Cowboy, near the Taipan, is a sad reflection on Western tourists. Support the wonderful restaurant 'Cabbages and Condoms', which does so much to alleviate the ravages of HIV/Aids etc. We found a very good new restaurant on Soi 23, 'Con-fusion', mixed Thai continental food. They need some publicity, the cooking was excellent. Ayathudha was a wonderful destination, epic in proportion. Bridge on River Kwai was a worthwhile day tour, if only to appreciate the difficulties prisoners and locals experienced.

If you like something special, go fishing with Francois Hellias from anglingthailand.com. They pick you up from the nearby Somerset Hotel for unbelievable fishing for Mekong Catfish and other giant fish at Bung Sam Lake.

Tour the Wat Po before you tour the Grand Palace. Do not be taken in by the scam that that says either or both are closed for special Thai holiday but the nicely dressed person speaking good english can arrange for a tour or other nearby wats and places of interest until they open up. Wat Po and the Palace are never closed during their normal business hours.

The location was good for neighborhood pubs and a GREAT restaurant across the street, where we got our best meal in 3 weeks in Thailand. Check out Bourbon Street for wonderful Cajun and Thai food.

Why not take a thai cookery class - course run from either half a day to 5 days at the Landmark hotel (near Nana skytrain station). In each session you cook a 5 course meal and then get to eat it - can't be bad.

Stayed at Royal President, The - Bangkok, Thailand.

Visited the Golden Buddha temple, the Grand Palace, the Emerald Buddha and the Teakwood palace built by King Rama V. Very impressive. Had an excellent guide. The tour included lunch on a large boat. Was excellent food and wonderful ambience. Pity that Bangkok was so hot 37 deg.C. Anyway, we had a good time for the 2 days we were there.

Watch out for drivers trying to take you to Lucky Buddha, it's a total scam and someone will approach you about a jewellery 'sale'. Jim Thompson's House was a highlight of our trip and there is a cute little shop nearbywhich sells all sorts of Thai souvenirs. I bought a gong, some buddha pictures and some little Buddha figures for next to nothing.

The city of Bangkok is an exciting place with lots of things to do and see. The royal palace where most tourist decides to go first is so so…So are the major tourist shopping areas such as Patpong or Silom. If shopping was in your mind I would try the areas where the Bayoke Suites are located. I heard this from a Thai colleague of mine at work that this is the place where most shops in Patpong and Silom get their products. As far as night-life goes, check out clubs in R.C.A road. You would be surprised at how clean and nice the clubs are. It is supposed to be the top notch as far as price goes but still it is very inexpensive compared to western standards. The Hollywood Award Club nearby was amazing as well as you can get lots of live rock music. This was my fifth time in Bangkok and as always I had a wonderful time. The only thing that troubles me every time I come to Bangkok is the people who try to rip off tourists, especially cab drivers, and the polluted air. But if you want everything to go your way, why not just stay at home, right?
