Bangkok is an amazing and vibrant city. When you come up for air, inbetween ladies, do yourself a favor and wander and eat the street food. Best in the world.
Speak with your physician about Malaria and Dengue Fever.

The disease ridden women in Bangkok PLUS the unsanitary street food vendors
Its amazing you are still alive
Hard to believe all the women are disease ridden, that all the street food is unsanitary. I have traveled enough to have some street smarts. If people were dying daily from the women and food then maybe there's trouble. But I do not read this other than it exists.
Maybe you have been and seen for yourself?
Has anyone been and come home diseased or with food poisoning ?
Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok. I was in Bangkok in 2006 and felt perfectly safe and happy. Just watch for ladyboys, unless that is your thing.
Even Travel Canada has Thailand listed as "high risk" for travel
But I'm sure govt knows nothing about it lol
Its a 3rd world country man
Hookers are going bareback
HIV is VERY common there (which is to be expected given the sheer volume of sex traffic + lack of common sense)
In most of that region it is very common to get worse than food poisoning
Even if you have never been (I have) just meet some of the girls who are HERE in TORONTO
Most of them still never use condoms
Always keep in mind that the Thais really could care less about you. The major touristy areas are relatively safe. If you get off the beaten path keep your head up for scams and whatever happens don’t get into any kind of argument or hassle with them. Even a taxi driver trying to get an extra few bucks. If it escalates just forget the few bucks and walk away. You will not win and 10 more are gonna jump in.
Whatever you do play safe, no matter what. Besides the usual suspects , HPV, warts, are rampant over there and condoms are not 100% effective for that. Thai women have or did have the highest incidence of cervical cancer in the world because of it.
Get hepititis shots.
Stay off scooters or motorcycle.... horrifying accidents.
Be careful not to get drugged. Especially if you are alone. And that includes your own hotel room. Happens all the time, like all the time!!! Death can occur. They are very creative. Will even spike your popsicle. ��
That being said if I had an idea of where you are going I may have some suggestions for good times.
Some expats have websites and YouTube channels that are probably your best bet for info and specific location stuff.
My thing now is beaches, surfing, boating and partake in village life when I’m there. However it’s a great place to have a wild and wonderful time. If you have your shit together there will be little chance you won’t have a blast.
And don’t forget อย่าแตะต้องหัวของพวกเขา

You should be fine in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand. I've been there many times and will be there again in this winter. I've noticed that Thai people are one of the friendliest people on earth and they treat foreign visitors very well. To me, hookers in Thailand are very safety conscious and they always use condoms. Majority of condoms sold in the world are made in Thailand anyway.
Hospitals, doctors and nurses in Thailand are very good and probably one of the best in the world. I've seen so many westerners and middle easterners go to Thailand to get treatments there by Thai doctors and hospitals. If you may get sick there, then you should be fine and treated well by the doctors and hospital there paying very little fees to the hospitals comparing to a hospital in the western / developed world.
I'm not a white person though... so I am very comfortable when I go there. However, I do notice that many Thai girls like the westerners so you may be treated specially like a king over there if you are a white man. Many of the Thai girls don't seem to enjoy the company of the South Asian people such as Indians which I don't blame them considering that Indians always bargain for everything. I frequently go to the massage parlors there and many of them are big places and big buildings with lots of lights in front by the streets which you can notice them very easily. I feel safer by going to the massage parlors because they are big places and run professionally by the local companies and not run by pimps in a small go-go bar which many people mistaken as freelance....
Foods there are good. I've tried many food there. My favorite food places are the food courts in the shopping malls because you have lots of varieties to choose from in one place. Price-wise, foods in the food courts tend to be less than in a full-service restaurant. Most of the time, I spent within $3.5 for a meal in a food court including a soft drink or Thai ice coffee / tea if you can eat local Asian / Thai foods in a food court. Weather is usually hot there even in their "winter" time when it's still very hot for me. So eating meals in the food courts in the A/C environment inside a shopping mall makes me feel good while eating without sweating in the heat as you're eating outside with the street vendors.
Have fun there....
