Stayed at Asia Bangkok Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
I love Bangkok. Have been there many times & would definitely go there again in the next 3 months. Shopping is wonderful - don't miss Chatuchak Weekend Market, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Pratunam Shopping areas as well as MBK. Food is yummy & spicy. People are generally friendly but beware of tuk-tuk/ taxi drivers who will bring you to gems/ clothes factories in order to get commission off whatever you buy. Make sure they know you want to reach yr destination without any unscheduled stops along the way.

Stayed at Miracle Grand Convention - Bangkok, Thailand.
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 Mooban Talay Resort - Koh Samed, Thailand.
It takes 30 minutes from Pier to Mooban Talay Resort. Do take pills before get on boats for the one cannot stand with sea-sick due to heavy sea-wave. You don't have to visit the national Park inside the island. Just like a forest. There's a floating seafood restaurant nearby the resort. Ask the resort staff to arrange a taxi for you to get there. Delicious seafood and nice sea-breeze open area for dining, not in air-conditioned one. The charge was so inexpensive than that in other area. I highly recommend you to visit the place and taste them. We didn't spend much time on water sports but we had rent some bicycles around the island. Another activities for non-water sports lovers.

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 Ambassador Hotel Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.
Best way to move around is by sky train, get as close to your destination and then take a taxi. Best antique shops at River City Shopping Center and New Road.

Stayed at Amari Airport Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
Thai food is great in this city however if you want to try something else try the new Indian restaurant Little India opposite of the Shangri La Hotel excellent food for a very reasonable price.

Stayed at Central Karon Village - Phuket, Thailand.
We mainly spent heaps of time in the resort itself. We enjoyed just lying around under the sun and the spa there. Very other night we spent our time at Patong and we managed to book tickets and watched the excellent performance by Fantasea. Two thumbs up for this whole trip :)

Stayed at Dusit Laguna Resort Hotel - Phuket, Thailand.
Thailand is lovely, my only problem with the resort is that it is cut-off from the rest of the Island, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about the rest of the area. Certainly spend some time at the Dusit, but to go there and see nothing else of Thailand would be a dreadful shame as it's a very sanitised version of the real thing. If you don't want to go too further afield, take a few days away from the resort and go to Phi Phi which is about one and a half hours boat trip away from Phuket - lovely, and although still touristy slighlty more attached to reality - also if you're interested, good diving to be had there!

Stayed at Coral Bay Resort - Samui, Thailand.
The best way for getting around the island is by motor scooter. The resort offers rentals, but if there are none available, there are plenty rental shops nearby.
