easier to say where to avoid - Pattaya, Pukhet Bangkok in my view.
Have a look on the internet get some more ideas and I can give more advice

Greetings,
Should you be landed with the (relative) misfortune of finding yourself en route to Phuket as opposed to somewhere further north, do check out Phuket Town!

...thanks.
Are there any resources that could offer up some advice for the first time (Buddhist) traveller to Thailand?

Learn some elementary Thai before you go. There are several courses on CD available. Many people there speak and understand English, but a few words in Thai (even with rather mediocre pronunciation) will be useful at the markets, and you will be praised as the greatest linguist of all times ...

It's fun, too. I learned a few rudimentary phrases from a Lonely Planet guide before going to Phuket and it's such a wonderful way to engage with the locals.Kare wrote:Learn some elementary Thai before you go.

Must places to visit on a short trip
Hi all,
I am planning a relatively short trip to Thailand in Jan next year - my partner and I (who is not a Buddhist, though that's not an issue) have no idea regarding what are the must see places for a Lay Buddhist traveling there for the first time.
All advice gratefully received!
