New Bang City: Direct From Money to Honey

With Thai Airlines recent launch of non-stop service to Bangkok from New York we thought we would give you a quick update on infamous Thailand. While Bangkok is one of the dirtiest cities on earth it can be liveable for a day or two if you hunker down at the Oriental Hotel. The hotel has a private spa pavillon across the river from it which is one of the best we have seen. Each guest gets their own suite. Word to the wise: don't bother getting shirts/suits anything made in Thailand as the quality is second rate. Head to Hong Kong for tailoring.

After you've lost your dignity in the Pat Pong district, which can happen just by walking through the place, fly down to Phuket, Thailand version of Cancun gone evil. We suggest the Amanpuri or the more affordable Chedi next door. They both share a private beach. For side trips head to Ko Lanta or Koh Samuai.

After seeing the above photo of the Thai Airways hostesses boogying down at the inflight bar, Borris, our morally bankrupt correspondent, says that he is on the next flight out.
