Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has been travelling to thailand at all? I am going this summer with my girlfriend (for 5 weeks) and basically we're after some tips and places to go..... ive been surfing the web for stuff for over a month now and ive found lots of different things, but i feel you cant beat the advsie of soemone whos been.... our basic plan is to spend 1-2 weeks in bangkok/up north of thailand (mounatins etc) then get our pale white butt's down to the south and go around the islands...
Dont know if anyone has any ideas or tips, but i thought if you dont ask, you dont get 
Also, were looking into buying our gear (such as rucksacks, sandles etc....) anyone know somewhere good to buy this from?
Thanks all,
Lee

No problem.
If you are still after a book to read, I can recommend Long Way Round, which is the book to the documentry made by ewan mcgregor and charley boorman, very good read.
