I think Thailand is seriously overlooked as a holiday destination. The people are very warm, the sites are breath-taking. Truly is a wonderful and contrasting culture. I've only been twice, but from what I've seen its best to do it in style- no point going for cheap holiday packages. Bring more money than you need and go to luxury/5 star/4 star/resorts. The beach hotels are amazing.
Thailand luxury hotels are reasonably priced for what they are. I stayed at the four seasons last time. Fantastic views!
If the market was less flooded with holiday scams, Thailand would be the place of choice, time and time again.
WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE, GO FOR QUALITY, NOT PRICE
But mainly, just enjoy yourself
