Go to Pattaya if you want to party. Heaps of good restaurants, resorts, shopping malls and bars and clubs. It's on the coast as well so lots of water activities for you to do.

Easily the best place in Thailand

I would go to bangkok to experience it...night markets/shopping/food/usual temples/tourist stuff and that.

then koh samet where the locals go to avoid the usual tourist islands not a bad place...you'll have to pay an entry tax though

take a 12 hour train ride south to surat thani (I think - that's what the stations called)....some memories there :)

then please check out krabi and railay beach, aonang...

visit koh tao for diving and samui as others have said and ang thong (emerald lake)

there were a few more places I visited but here's a start.

if you want more details let me know.

Phi Phi island is really good deinfently go for 1 night at least. maybe on a 2 day trip or something becasue we just went on a day trip for like 3 or 4 hours....

(***stay away from the monkeys on monkey beach**** .....one bite me and i needed to get daily rabbis shots at phuket hospital, lol)

Yeh anyway phuket is good for shopping (CHEAP) and beach and nightlife. One thing i couldnt get over is the smell....i tried to but couldnt get over it...

Stayed in Gracelands resort which is sort of between the mountains and the main street (bungalow road, i think???) only about 700m down the road which meant it was much more quiet during the day and still a short walk at night...

DO NOT RENT Jetskis, Scooter, Boats etc UNLESS you make sure you act responsibly. The street are full of thai guys on bikes and they weave in and out so you have to take lots of care. If there are any scratches they will make you pay for A NEW ONE. Heard plenty of stories, then ,of course, it happens to some people we met at the resort. The teenage girl is drivng her rented scooter and hit a thai guy....an arrest and $4000 later she tells me the story.....this happened on thier last day too, Father wasnt happy....

Bankok is good for experince. the tuk tuk drivers are amazing how they just cut in front of stuff at like 60km without looking. so its worth it..

lucky you didnt plan to go while the red shirt guys were protesting. this massive shopping centre i was in was burnt to the ground a month later. we just got out before the riots started

Phuket was a shithole IMO. Been to Thailand 3 times, various places. Last holiday 2 week in Phuket and it didn't impress me one bit TBH.

2 weeks in phuket is way too long IMO. did thailand last year and spent a week in phuket and that was boring unless you plan on shopping heaps) and a week in koh so moi and koh so moi was WAYYYYYYY better. more relaxing and random parties.

:P wanna go back. beach party on tonight :P

I was there in January and stayed at Holiday Inn in Patong and it was fantastic but being a pool villa definitely helped. Good location and best buffet breakfast ever!!!

I have to agree with above in terms of shopping, MBK is AWESOME almost spent 2 days shopping there with my wife. The markets also were really good and can buy good T shirts and shorts for $4-5, sunglasses $3 and same items in Patong 2-3 times that.

I wouldn't bother buying many DVD's as most of the newer movies are just TS (camera) versions.

I've been to Bangkok twice now and phuket and Koh Samui once

Personally I LOVED Bangkok... great big city and amazing shopping! Spent 1/2 a day in MBK but thing is the shops and stock r repetitive after a while and sort of gets boring! in terms of night markets the more popular (or should I say "infamous") one if Pat Pong night market... its smack bang in the middle of a redlight district... was funny as in the 60m walk from one side to the other I got offers by 36 people for ping pong shows.... (declined them all) but Suan Lum night bazzar is off the hook! Picked up some polos (Apexi, blitz etc) for around AUD15 each... and good food there too!

Phuket I spent a week in and thought it was wayy too long! Not much to do there apart from party, beach and a few sights.... if all you want to do is party and chill on the beach then its perfect...

Koh Samui I only stayed for 2 days in Bo Phut beach area (only wanted to go there to fly Bangkok airways and check out the island airport).... quiet and peaceful and I did appreciate it after the crazyness of Phuket...

In terms of hotels... seriously they r cheap as hell and as some have already mentioned... a 3 star in Thailand is equivalent to a 4.5 or 5 star here!... if ur after specifics msg me and I can look up the ones I Stayed in.... i didn;t spend more than 250 for 5 nights!

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      Stagea S2 RS Four S Misfire/Rough Idle

      By deev236 · Posted

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
