I went to Bangkok and Pattaya in October and liked it so much I'm going back in late January. I had a couple of things happen, got a little bit of coin pilfered off me but to the person that took it, it would've made a massive difference to there lifestyle and I'll make that working boxing day alone. They say Australias the lucky country but I much prefer Thailand but I feel the culture and people are much more friendly than most Auzzies too
