I thought Thailand was good. We stayed at Bangkok, Pattaya (Jomtien), Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, Phuket (Patong and then Kata).

Loved the food courts in Bangkok especially MBK.

Didn't think that much of central and south Pattaya (too many people and the beach is ruined with deckchairs and umbrellas shoulder to shoulder the length of the beach), but everywhere else was good. I preffered staying outside of Patong. Really liked Kata Noi beach and Surin beach in Phuket, great little cafes at the beach at Surin. I also really liked the Night Bazzar in Chaing Mai and going on the Elephant Tour, and the Tiger temple in Kanchanaburi.

Nowhere in Thailand did I pay more than AUD$40-$50 for a full day tour with lunch. So don't let them charge you more than this.

Have fun
