Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai, Ayuthaya or Sukhothai if you're
interested, and a beach - which one depends on whether you want to
party, dive or relax somewhere quiet.

or places NOT to go

Pattaya and Phuket

I strongly disagree. Phuket is a nice place.

Better:

Pattaya and Patong on Phuket. Large parts of Phuket are very pleasant, or
were at least when I was there around newyear 99-00.

I would say March is hot. Maybe concentrate on the north ...

The main beaches there are like Mallorca. It all boils down on what your
interests are. By the way, the sea water on those beaches is not good.

I cannot make any comparisons to the beaches of Mallorca. Never been there.
For instance I was at Kata in summer 2005 for a couple of days. It was a
very nice beach. I couldn't see anything wrong with water. Naturally, I
don't carry a kit of "measure the content of water". Not that I mind about
beaches very much myself.

I often hear people sticking to the main beaches, if not the hotel pools,
complaining it's like Mallorca. Quite hard for me to understand.

It would be helpful it you gave us a hint what your personal interests
are. Why are you going there? Culture, beaches, diving, drinking,
darts on a map?

Bangkok is only interesting in the Banglamphu area. This area has Khao
San Road, which everyone should see once their life. It has all the
grand historic buildings around Wat Pra Keow and the emerald buddha.
It has an antique and buddha image market near the river. The National
Museum is there , which is quite good.

Chiang Mai is rather boring except for the fact that it has some good
western style restaurants, if you want that in thailand.

Chiang Rai (also in the north) is also boring, except for a funny
little hotel called the Rose Hotel, which is good for laughs. The
thai food at the street stalls is good because it comes straight from
the farms.

You might like a little town called Lampang south of chaing mai. It
has charming little hotels along a river and some of the best thai
sweets are sold there.

You might like Mae Sai, on the northernmost border with Burma. There
is a huge jade market there. Shop after shop selling all kinds of
jade, some raw uncut pieces from burma, and some cut at all levels of
sophistication. Some very well made Chinese jade pendants. If you go
there, you should eat breakfast at the big luxury hotel, the wang
thong I think.
