New Friends & Recommendations (Bangkok)

Hi there,
My best friend and I will be visiting Thailand from the end of the year for 2 weeks. It will be the first exciting journey in exploring and taking advantage of this cherished journey since years, especially for myself.

We would be delightedly appreciated if we could have any recommendations or tips for our journey.
Equally we are also planning to visit the country every year for the future perspective, so any suggestions from long-term residents/locals would be warmly welcome, too.

Looking forward to making new friends 'connecting' with you.
Let us wish all of you a joyful happy holiday season at this opportunity!
Kayli
