I made the horrific mistake of following a trip to Thailand with one to the Florida Keys. What a contrast in service, atmosphere and (extreme lack of) value for money.
Thanks very much Ghoulish. Couldn't agree more. Thailand is amazing and so varied. It just takes forever to get to and from which discourages a lot of travelers.

We are heading for BKK end of this month for some shopping, massage and Michelin dining (we have GAA on the schedule as well....hope it is still as good as pre-pandemic they moved to a new location apparently)! Enjoy your short stay!
Thank you sl00001. Enjoy your time in Bangkok. Yes, Gaa is in a new location. A little out of the way but it is stunning and worth the trip. I missed it by two weeks but Gaggan should be reopened by the time you visit.

I think I'll stick to F thank you.
