Fantastic destinations.

There is lots to do and see. Go to the Palace in Bangkok and hit the shopping but otherwise it is dirty, busy and humid. I recommend spending as little time as possible in Bangkok unless you love shopping and beer bars.

****et is beautiful. Go see Ko Phi Phi (pronounced ko pee pee, ko means island) and the surrounding beaches which are stunning white sand with blue waters. ****et has three main beaches-- Patong, Caron and Kamala. Patong has the best nightlife but only an okay beach. Caron is a good mix of the two with a very nice (but brownish sand) beach and some nightlife while Kamala and Bang Tao, etc. are secluded beaches with minimal nightlife. It depends on what you want.

Ko Phi Phi has highend accomodation and backpacker accomodation. It is basically two islands connected by a big sandbar and the tide goes way out and in everyday. The nightlife is tremendous if you love to drink and party with crazy crazy crazy beach parties. I had the time of my life there one week. (And I was the old guy at 30+).

Angor Wat and the nearby town, Siem Riep, are awesome. You neeed to fly there from Bangkok as the roads there were extremely poor. Another highlight of my trip and I highly recommend going. The temples are amazing and the town is very cool (but rustic).

Have fun!!!!
