Re: Going to Thailand for 6 weeks
No need to get immediately out of BKK. Plenty to do there to fill several days. Wat Po, Grand Palace & Wat Pra Keo. Vimanmek Mansion is cool. Take a river cruise up to Ayutaya. Great nightlife and food.
Not in Thailand but close by and IMO not to be missed is Angor Wat. Fly from BKK to Siem Reap (Cambodia). If you are into history and enjoy ancient sites/temples this blows away anything Thailand has. Worth a couple days.
I prefer Krabi to Phuket. Both nice beach resorts and enjoyable. Krabi is more picturesque IMO.
Stay out of the extreme south. Some nasty situations with the muslims down there.
