Stayed at Tamarind Village, Chiang Mai - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Chaing Mai is a vibrant city with lots to see and do. Generally inexpensive with lots of shopping opportunities and excursion trips to choose from. The 1 day trek (elephant ride and bamboo river rafting) were very enjoyable experiences and not too strenuous so would recomend to young and old alike. The night market was excellent, and the artists corner particularly enjoyable providing excellent portrait work from photographs. If you are a fan of live music especially Rock (Jimi Hendrix, Doors etc.etc.) then the Pubs on the riverside especially the Brasserrie Bar come highly recommended.

Stayed at Club Andaman Beach Resort - Phuket, Thailand.
The Phi Phi speed boat island tour is a must, although it can be a bit long. If you don't like a day's worth of bouncing on a speed boat, you should take the big boats which have 100+ people, no bouncing and take longer to reach the island and locations. If you meet local westerners who work in the area they can tell you the best bars and clubs. Scruffy Murphy's was a great pub to hang in - a western crowd drinking pints and watching soccer and no pestering girls. Live music there everyday too. For disco, the Banana Club was great venue with great mix and cool atmosphere. We tried to go to Safari (another club) afterward but it was winding down at 2 am close - this place looked very cool. Outside tables and bar with small lagoon. A cop was standing at the bar at 2 am exactly making sure no one could buy a drink.

Stayed at President Solitaire - Bangkok, Thailand.
Great location. If you do not want to be sidetracked into shopping on one of the river tours check the brochure in your room for the one that says specifically "no shopping". Most of the river/canal tours stop 2-3 times for shopping and then take you to the Gem Expo. If you just want to see the temples and palaces take the "no shopping" tour listed in the book. ASK them if this is a shopping tour.

Stayed at Baiyoke Sky Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
In Thailand you must visit The Bedsupperclub, they serve great fusion cuisine and you get to relax in … Beds. Go on Friday or Sat night if possible and party the rest of the night away at the club connected to the restaurant Something on the quieter side would be Jim Thompson House & Museum. It's beautiful and reminds you of Thailand of the past. Very charming!

Stayed at Lotus Hotel Pang Suan Kaew - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Chiang Mai a very friendly place with a lot of good restaurants and pubs. Recommend The Pub, on Huay Kaew road, just down the street from the shopping center.

Stayed at Chiang Mai Orchid - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
For those who are health conscious, there is a Lemon Tree store not far from the Night Bazaar and a nice vegetarian restaurant on Tha Pae Road recommended for lunch.

Stayed at Patong Lodge Hotel - Phuket, Thailand.
The beaches here are truly worth it. Take a day trip to Coral Island, Phi Phi Island or one of the other options to experience the best snorkeling. WARNING for families, don't go too far down the side streets in Patong. We had totes shove very graphic pictures in our faces as "advertisement".

Stayed at Triple Two Silom - Bangkok, Thailand.
There's a nice restaurant called Anna's Cafe quite nearby (a short taxi ride) and the Banyan Tree hotel bar Vertigo, on the roof, is fantastic and also not far away.

Stayed at Royal Paradise Hotel - Phuket, Thailand.
Everything is within walking distance for hotel. James Bond island tour is a must. Very good value for your money only 650 baths. The open air restaurants that line the main street is a much for fresh and cheap seafood. Pick your fish and they weight it and tell you the price which include cooking anyway you like. I choose steam with fresh ginger, mushroom and sesame oil. Heavenly. Very fresh. It costs about $4.00 us dollar for a good size grouper.
