First trip...........early report

I've been reading this board for several years now and have FINALLY booked my first trip to Thailand. I'll be arriving in Bangkok from Auckland NZ on 16/11 and flying out again on 08/12. Undecided yet whether I'll spend all my time in Bangkok / Pattaya, or maybe check out somewhere in Cambodia as well (but I hate travelling and like drinking a lot, so will more than likely just stick with Bangkok / Pattaya this time, maybe venture further in future trips). Hopefully will get up the first of many trip reports..Can't wait!!
