I was recently in Thailand for 10 days. I went 5 days in Bangkok and 5 days in Phuket. Although this might sound weird, I liked Bangkok more than Phuket. I have some tips to add for future travelers.

1. In Bangkok there are great roof top bars that serve great cocktails and you can see the whole city from above. I recommend going to "The Long Table" rooftop bar and "Above Eleven" rooftop bar.

2. Some clubs in Bangkok may require a passport or at least your id in order to let you in. Always carry it with you.

3. Only use Taxi's with taxi meter enabled. They are really cheap. In Phuket there is a cartel of tuk tuk and they don not allow taxis with taximeters to enter the area. Use Grab if you want to find something cheaper than the prices they tell you.

4. Skytrain in Bangkok is really awesome, fast and cheap. We used it daily to move to different parts of the City.

5. Be aware of smoking in public places. If a police man see's you, you may get a fine up to 2000 BHT.

6. People who own small shops street shops or shops located on open bazaars can lower their initial prices up t0 50% if you request a lower price. Just bargain with them.

7. There are great Restaurants in Bangkok. Just check on Tripadvisor and call for a reservation.

8. Massage is very cheap. I go a Thai Massage (no happy ending :) ) for an hour, for only 250 BHT (about €6).

9. No Vaccines and pills or any other b/s is needed when you travel to Thailand.

10. Never use Tuk Tuk's as they might scam tourist by taking them to other places where they get commision - instead of your actuall destination.

Hope these tips help..
