4. The Fairy-tale City, The Grand Palace;

5. Bangkok's Other Grand Palace, The Oriental Hotel;

6. A Modern Temple of Ancient Thailand's Golden Age, The Sukhothai Hotel;

7. Settlements Long Lost to the World, The Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand;

8. The Land That Time Forgot, The Four Seasons Resort in Chiang Mai;

9. Island Beauties, Koh Phi Phi;

10. An Escapist Island in the Gulf of Siam, Koh Samui;

11. An Obstacle Course of Limestone Monoliths, Phangnga Bay;

Gosh man, you gotta experience Bangkok

by the way "Hanoi", "Halong Bay", "Hui" and "Hoi An" should also be on the top list of places to see before you croak
