I've been to Las Vegas 3 different times. Not really my scene. I don't see what the attraction is.

 

I've been to Miami also. Cool place to visit.

I think Los Angeles didn't make the list because of the horrible traffic. There are some really cool places to have a meal in, and some some cool touristy places, but there are just way too many people here. Knowing what I know, I wouldn't come here for a vacation. Maybe San Francisco or Santa Barbara.

Hahaha......... No worries. I won't be doing any driving in Bangkok, so traffic won't matter to me. You can soak in more of the country by walking anyway. The problem with L.A., is that everyone loves their cars. It's that trying to be like the "Jonesess". It's all about showing off what they have. I used to be that way, but now I just want to relax, travel, and eat.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love California. If you forget about the traffic and some of the superficial people that live here, you'd really enjoy it. The weather here is amazing. And the view along the coast is breath taking.

Ya, walking around Sukhumvit area is really not bad at all, lots of restaurants, shopping, malls, cafes, etc etc, the list goes on and yes i agree, great way to get to know your area and surroundings, and as a bonus getting some exercise out of it :)

Enjoy man!!!
