rather than us listing places yet again, may I suggest that you click on our names and read or reread some of our thai trip reports...

I love it as it is so busy and people rushing everywhere on motorbikes. I like it is so different from back home.

I also loved how much our guide loved the queen. It was very sweet. She loved the King too but would always talk about how beautiful the queen was/is.

"Bangkok is everything you think it is… and the complete opposite, simultaneously. It is noisy and crowded, yet serene and spiritual. It is old and traditional, and very sleek and modern. It is incredibly poor and impossibly wealthy. Expensive, and dirt cheap. Well-managed chaos. Easy to navigate, and even easier to get lost."

That's from the intro section of our trip report. We went there as first-timers 5 years ago and fell in love with the place.

Full trip report with photos, right here:

Also, here are some photos we took in Laos (since you're visiting there as well):

The serenity of the people... The special merit making traditions; the strength of the family; the smiles!
