I know a lot of nooks and crannies. I know the name and prices for most Chiangmai hotels/guesthouses, as well as many in Bangkok (from basic to luxurious). I even spent a day in Bangkok visiting the grand dames--Oriental, Regent, Sukothai, Peninsula, Shangri-la, Sheraton Royal Orchid. (My top three would be the Oriental, Peninsula and Regent.) I can guide the adventurous through Thai and Chinese hawker food, or direct them to royal Thai food and elegant dimsum. I have visited almost all the grand monuments (including Chiang Saen, Sukothai, Ayutthaya, Phimai, Phanom Rung, Bangkok temples) and even have recommendations on photo excursions to picturesque old wooden temples in Chiangmai. I also know little-publicized sites like the Prasart Museum outside Bangkok, one wealthy man`s splendid obsession. (I can also recommend the best guide books.) | |

I can answer tourism questions (where to go, where to stay, what to eat), questions about Thai culture, as seen by a foreigner. Most of my knowledge is about Bangkok and Phuket. I don't help sex tourists! | |

I can answer most questions about travel and living in Thailand. This includes food, culture, people, cost of living, and the different regions of Thailand. I can't answer questions about the far south of Thailand, politics, Buddhism. | |

Hello, I am an American retired in Thailand for 2 years living about 2 hours south of Bangkok. It is a beautiful country offering so much starting with the friendliness of the people. I can help you on basic traveling or living questions for coming to Thailand and generally what to expect. |
I will try to give you some suggestions. In Bangkok and around the area you might visit the Floating Market. People sell food and items to visitors who travel down a canal in a boat. The Grand Palace
I apologize but your question is rather broad. I am not knowledgable about the type restaurants you are asking about. Bangkok is a very large city. I know there is a Muslim section on Sukhumvit Road
Thailand is more than just beaches. The beaches are wonderful and I go enjoy them every chance I get but you do miss out on the real Thailand. In the north there are many small mountains and eco-tourism
Opps. Sorry for a long delay. I should just say out loud that I don't have the itinerary for you. Anyhow, here are some suggestions. - Arrive in Bangkok, stay in a guest house on Khao San road, visit
Alta, I would recommend Taipan Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 22. It is near the main road with L-train and subway near. There is massage there and outside as well. In Close proximity is shopping and entertainment
