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!!
