If you go into a bar with Ping Pong balls all over the floor, don’t be disappointed if you can’t find a table or bats.

Make sure that the girl you’re taking hasn’t got any balls of her own.Unless you’re into that sort of thing.

No matter how big and tough you are, or how many drinks you’ve had that make the prize money look good, don’t get into the boxing ring with the five foot two emaciated looking bloke.

Depends where you’re staying. September is rainy season on the west coast so I’d avoid Phuket, Krabbi, Ko Lanta unless you like getting wet. Of course if you’re stayin in Pattaya rain will be the least of your worries 😀

That is towards the end of the rainy season there. Normally shouldn't be a problem, but impact can vary on where you are based.

If you find yourself visiting the idyllic Mu Ko Lanta National Park, don't laugh casually when the girl in the coffee shop says, with a peculiar level of menace, "Be careful. Of monkey."

20 minutes later you will be a fat bloke getting chased half naked, across the beach and into the sea, by said monkey.

Other than that you can't go wrong.

North for the stunningness of the temples and riding elephants through the jungle. A jungle trek is a MUST.

South for the beaches. Beauty beauty beauty

Bankock is loud, crowded, smelly, exotic and fantastic/horrible. I would hang around there during COVID

If you do meet Tim Cocking, don't challenge him to a fight or do anything that might provoke him. Great to have such an amazing trip to look forward to.

Don't accept drinks from dodgy French Vietnamese blokes posing as gem dealers.

I'd definitely recommend Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. Been a fair few times, I hasten to add with my girlfriend.

Loads of good Gyms so mate if you want to go for your 4th Dan then a good place to train.

Amazing food, and pretty healthy.
I love Haad Rin but such a beautiful Island so away from there pretty unspoiled.

But it's all about the parties so (which since Covid who knows what's happening) Some great parties there. Shiva Moon that's in the jungle in a Valley and the DJ booth literally has the actual moon above it fkn wkd. Joe Moontribe boi

The full moon party - Tommy's resort to party. One of the best place to stay is this

Otherwise Panviman....they drove us to the Full Moon..Lovely

haven't been for a while.
But would echo some of the recommendations. If you're going for a relaxing holiday.
Spend little to no time in Bangkok, maybe a night or two of fun.
The islands/sea are where you want to be.
Krabi is heaven on earth, could spend the rest of my life there quite happily.
If you can afford it, it wasn't that expensive from memory, hire a local fisherman to go island hopping and bbq in the evening.
Have fun

Bangkok is a flipping great city, but 3 or 4 nights is enough. Been 25 years since i've been to Samui or Phangan, so suspect it's changed a lot. But went to Phuket year before last and as long as you swerve Patong (appalling tourist hell imo), it's a beautiful island.

Depends what you want i guess.

You have great courage to go anywhere,never mind Thailand. I won't set foot on foreign soil until summer 22 at least

Love Thailand, great people here. I'm in Phuket, much of the coast on the island is absolutely beautiful and plenty more beauty close by on the smaller islands, and on the mainland to the north and east. Ko Chang very nice too. Hope the Covid travel restrictions have eased by when you come.

Another vote for Phuket. Sort of has everything you would want from holiday in Thailand. Beaches, food, bars, plenty of excursions. We used to stay around Karon Beach area, some really nice hotels and you are far enough away from Patong that it doesnt impact, but close enough if you feel the need to visit.

Another place that works at that time of the year is Hua Hin, which is basically much quieter and less intensively developed part of Thailand, but only a 2-3 hours by car from Bangkok. Amazing beaches and lovely food. Have to do Bangkok for a few nights just to experience madness.

I'd avoid Pattaya. It is what you hear and unless that is what you are after, there are so many better places to go in such a lovely country.

Like most I'm desperate for a holiday, cruises is my tipple, however, no flying, or cruising for me this year. I'll wait to see how things pan out as I do have health issues. Hopefully everything turns out ok for you.

Echo on Hua Hin great to just chill out at a beach hotel and find a night time food set up with freshly caught fish/seafood, flaming torches marking out the restaurant boundary and buckets of iced beer, Whiskey and the sound of the sea lapping onto the sand.

Pure heaven

captains fantastic

I went a few years ago with my wife for about month. We both loved it and had a great time. We spent over a week in Bangkok and loved it and also visited a few islands and some other towns/cities.

In terms of advice it all depends what type of holiday you're after. It can be as active or relaxing as you want, or a city break spent exploring Bangkok?


Either way I'm sure you'll have a great time. The only bit of advice I'd give is if you're in Bangkok and find it too hot just jump on the Sky train or go into your nearest 7-11.
