      Some IDEAS Champ - Go to and maybe do some interviews about why tourists like to visit Old Phuket Town, what they look for to see there and a bit about the history. While there in Phuket maybe pop in to Maybelles Coffee Garden if in the area of Karon (not necessarily to document but to visit old friends) with option for interviews too . Could Interview tourists around Patong Beach area.

    My fav places:
    1) Mae Hong Son / Chiang Mai / Chiang Rai Provinces. The mountains, subcultures, food and pace of life is on another level really.
    2) Nan / Phayao Provinces. For touring on big bikes. Much new very flat asphalt through the mountains. Awesome for trips, the flow of the roads is second to none.
    3) Rayong Province / Koh Chang. For sea and beach without too many tourists. Lot of locals go there and it feels more Thai than a lot of the more popular places for foreigners.
    Just 3 more weeks before we fly in again. Can not wait ! 😊

    Hoping to retire there some day. I've only made it to Bangkok and Pattaya. I was supposed to visit Hua Hin and Chiang Mai, but had to leave early. We live in the Clearwater, Florida area, which is beautiful. But we are being priced out of the area. My wife is originally from the Philippines. She liked Bangkok. But, we both agreed it's too hectic of a place to live. We have been discussing Chiang Mai at a target.

    We have a saying in my home country which loosely translates to: "There is some truth to every joke". That Pattaya joke from David does actually have a truth to it. I think unless you are a party animal, you should avoid Pattaya and Phuket. Yes, they also provide many good things and beautiful sites but you can find them elsewhere where you don't have to cope with the extreme bustle, pollution and rumble.

    I'm Thai. I like rain, so I like Ranong the most. There it rains a year for 8 months. It has both seas and mountains.
    It is a small province with few people living in one of the country.
    For places you should avoid Personally, I think the most intimate areas that offer sex services should be avoided.
