For the most part it is clean, easy to get around in if you speak English. If you golf, go up north to Chang Mai where it is cooler and greener. There are great destinations easily accessible, like Cambodia...Siem Repp which is Angkor Watt and Phnom Pen which is amazing. And a cheap flight to Xuan in China.
Down south in Koh Samui there is great weather, tons to do and see. Phuket for beaches and night life
And then there is Bangkok. If you want girls, Soi Cowboy and the old stand by Pat Pong street and you are also about an hour and a half from Pattaya beach..the world's biggest brothel.
It is a great country with friendly people and a great tourist infrastructure. Just make sure your visas are in order, they have zero tolerance for border shit and you don't want to be in a Thai jail.

Thanks Rhetorical!
I work for an advanced science lab that has a prime clinic in Thailand. Stem cell treatment stuff. I can get an extended visa so no prob there. I'm going to Thailand just to chill out for a while, save money, get work done.
I have several friends there but once they dig in it's rare to hear from them as they don't even want to come home anymore. It's so cheap to live there and the quality of food, services, medical, goods are so high it's like having year 2000 money in 1970 I'm told. I'm going to save money by just giving myself a monthly allowance of like $2k and the rest of the dough I generate through my sites and royalties from books,tv,movies shit I'll just dump in my corporate accounts.
I'm thinking of it as a 'banking vacation'. Save money and live in luxury while you're doing it.
What's cool is another pal whose got a couple houses paid for is going later this year. He's renting his cribs out for a year so he'll have a net positive cash flow of $5k minimum each month plus his salaries from his websites. He'll save a bundle for sure as long as he don't act stupid.
I heard about the food! People are praising it up and down. I can do for some golf though. Just going to finish up medical stuff check out new job facilities and exercise and work and chill.
With places like Thailand around a guy who works online can really get ahead.
