Thailand is wonderful! We would go back there in a heartbeat. Don't like cities, so I was not a fan of Bangkok but I will say that it was interesting and the street vendors serve great food for unbeatable prices. I don't know what it was, but it smelled good, tasted great and probably set us back 50 cents a serving. Be adventures - give it a try!

We have not been to Phu-Ket but did spend 9 days on Koh Samui. Absolutely fabulous time. Beautiful weather, extremely kind people. We did a tour of the Ang Throng marine sanctuary. I would have spent a couple of days out there if I could have arranged it. Once we got used to the reverse traffic direction, we rented a couple of scooters and explored the island in the "off-tourist" areas. Extraordinarily beautiful place.

As far as Bangkok...well, get used to everyone trying to give you a Tuk-Tuk ride (which is actually really fun), make you a suit, or there's this other thing called a ping pong show that seems to be a national past time...
