My First Trip To Thailand

Well come March 29th I shall be heading off from Newcastle heading for Bangkok for 3 nights then down to Patong for a further 11 Nights . I am looking at you steemit crowd to advise me on the do's and don'ts in Thailand and scams you may have encountered. Must places to see is important to me along with the best places to eat but not fish. Been looking at the roof bars but cant decide on which one so if anyone has had any experiences good or bad your advice will be appreciated. But must not forget my wife's love of shopping which are the best markets to go to.
