Thailand the land of smiles has some very awsome architectural styles with a riot of color with lots different sizes and shapes. All the city's in the Asia Pacific have a certain charm for me Bangkok is Bangkok with a ton of hotels from the Bangkok Intercontinatal to the cheap guesthouses on Koh Sahn rd . Chiang Mai with its moat and all of the wooden family style hotels and guesthouses. Koh Toa Koh Phangna Koh Phi Phi with the beach bungalows Koh Samui with its Ocean Freont beach resorts make this a smorgsboard of choices for you it is very easy to spend a month in Thailand and not come even close to seeing all that it ofers. A little tip for you here buy a metal cup, big is good & a 220 volt heater coil and put it in your travel bag. You can make coffee tea rammen noodles hell you can make spaghetti or rice if you work with it long enough. Maybe I'll do a travel cook book next!

Thailand Airfares & Trains and Buses
Thailand is one of the easiest places to get flights into Sometimes not the easist to get out of though. Round Trip tickets or a regularly scheduled way like a bus or a train that will take you out of thailand are required otherwise espiccaly with the Ameriaca carriers they will not let you board the plane even with a valid ticket. so if you plan on leaving for lets say Cambodia overland you need to get a Thailand transit Visa before you leave you country or someplace that has a Thai Embassay or Counsalate . the funny thing is the thais as far as I can tell don't ever look for this as you can get a Thai Visa for 30 days on demand at any internation border entry.
Thailand trains are a great way to travel be sure to get you ticket in advance as the fist class overnight sleepers tend to book up 2 days in advance as a couple this is a great way to save a hotel night and a travel day espiccal
