I first went to LOS in 87 ... me and two friends. We had the time of our lives. 3 night in BKK then 10 nights in Pattaya. We went home and talked it up big time.
Another friend frenzied and booked a 2 week trip. We told him where to go during the day in BKK (sightseeing and such), where to go at night, NEP, Cowboy, Patpong, and not to spend too much time in Bkk, ie, get to Pattaya (that is all we knew at the time). We also told him he needed to wear long pants at the temples.
Well, he takes cords and a flannel shirt (we assumed he would figure it was the tropics). He said he almost died his first day from heat stroke at the Grand Palace. After that he wouldn't leave his room, except to walk across the street at night from the Nana hotel to NEP (at least he found that).
He came home after one week. Said the heat was too much for him. Granted he was from Vermont (I guess use to the cold). But still, we were all dying as we were counting our days to return to LOS, and he came home early.
