We have just planned our 6th trip to Thailand in October.

It is my most favourite place in the world.

We have been to Pattaya which was really quite nice if you avoided the 'men' doing their bit to encourage the women.

Phuket is my favourite. The hotels are really super. When they say 5* they mean just that.

The first time we went we did Hong Kong for three days, Bangkok for three days, then Phuket.

I personally wouldn't go back a sixth time to Bangkok although if you have never seen it, it is a must. Go for a cocktail dinner on the river and you must never miss the Floating Market trip. It takes all day and you dont want it to finish.

Have something made for yourself or family. I looked through all sorts of magazines before going and chose some really wonderful clothes from Chanel, Vivienne Westwood etc. Bought material in Phuket and they made them up as per photograph.
Every time I have been I have had a pair of black silk trousers made. They were always perfect.

Last time I had a mohair, silk and wool winter coat made. Wonderful.

Koh Samui is quite nice but I still preferred Phuket.

You will love the Thai people. They are the nicest.

Have a good trip.
