This coming up January I will be going to Thailand for 9 days with my Fiancee, mother and father. My parents came last year but we stayed in Cambodia.


What are some personal favorites, mainly Bangkok or Chiang Mai, that you can think of?

Your contributions will affect our holiday, so let's have it.

I know BKK pretty well. CM, not so much. Could you be more specific ?

its an amazing city but the traffic AARGHHHHHH,
few things i suggest

take a taxi to the end of silom road Visit the jewelry trade center an than walk down to the pier behind the oriental hotel an take a the local ferry over to wat Arun an have a traditional massage

Get back on the boat an take it to the end an than jump on a local boat that travels down the small khlongs
head back to Bangkok knowing u have seen the real Bangkok

Grab a taxi and tell him to take you to Khinlom Chomsaphan http://www.khinlomchomsaphan.com/ for dinner

other than that do the tourist stuff

Dont care much for Chiang Mai but a visit to Doi Suthep is very nice if its not grey/cloudy,
Night market is VERY touristy but there is a good food court there.

Chinag Rai, a few hours north is much more laid back

Go to Hemingway's on Sukhumvit Soi 14. Old Thai house converted into a bar and restaurant. Great garden and quiet as hell.

It's behind the Sheraton and a good spot.

Doubt it. I know the owner Craig and he's only been to Cambodia once for a couple days 2 years ago, & it was with me. I don't think he's hanging out on CEO.
