Here is our tentative Thailand itinerary. Thanks everyone for all your input and advice. Since almost everyone suggested we keep our schedule flexible thats what we’ve done.
Day 1 and Day 2
Stay in cheap fancy hotel and get over jet lag.
Go to MBK Shopping Mall and surrounding street markets{it has cheap cute clothing}
Go to Khao San Road night market {touristy area with cheap clothes and shoes}
See some temples
Day 3 and Day 4
Take overnight train to Chiang Mai {north of Thailand}
Go on trek in the mountains, ride elephants, stay in a little mountain village.
Day 5 – Day 8
Catch a flight to Phuket {south of Thailand}
Go to different cities in the south. Scuba dive, go climbing, go kayaking, rent a boat and explore some islands. Hang out on the beach. Get a glorious tan because my body has not seen the sun in three years.
Day 9
Fly back to Bangkok. Fly home.

maybe you knew this but, my neighbor is a travel agent and said you can get inexpensive custom suits. you take pauls measurements, pick out the fabric and they’ll deliver it to your hotel the next day.
keep a good journal. i plan on going there someday and will be asking your advice. have fun.
