i went to thailand last summer. it was great. really depends on what you're looking for.
I stayed in Bangkok, dirty hot city but loads of cheap shopping, a few gorgeous temples in Bangkok you can see.
If you're looking for more beach, Phuket is a place to go. Although you will ALSO see loads of very old white men courting very young thai boys/girls.
Hotels are cheap when converted to CAD/USD.
My aunt got concierge floor in 5 star hotels for CAD $200-300
Watch your belongings. Pickpockets are HUGE there. I've been aLL around asia and never seen it so prevalant there.
There is a great area in Bangkok which is an attraction of sorts. If you can get a taxi to drop you off at the area where all the patpong shows are, make sure you keep you bag tucked under your arm. you'll see all foreigners do that there. There you will see girls doing feats with their pussies such as popping bananas at the crowd, opening beer bottles by squatting, blowing horns etc. You will also be bombarded with other girls crowding you asking you to buy them "cola" for 100 baht. it's 2 sips in a glass in which they get to keep the money i think.
The girls that perform the feats are not hot. big guts, stretch marks, late 30's to 50's. the other girls dancing on poles are extremely gorgeous but don't talk off their skimpy clothes and are not really girls at all. But hey, use your imagination it could fool you
