Didda,
Que is right. I have been to Bangkok and Chang Mai many times. It is safer than many US cities. The food is great and the people are very friendly. The dollar goes a long way even though not as far as it used to. The Novitel in Siam Square is where I stay in Bangkok and I highly recommend it. You can get clothes custom made in a day at low prices. Most everyone speaks English so thats not a problem. Cabs are cheap. You can go across town for less than a dollar. If you want any plastic surgery, you can get it done at Bumrungrad Hospital for about a third of the cost in the US. Its a world class hospital with American Board Certified doctors. A 1 hr. massage will cost you about $15 US. A facial is about $10. I used to get one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Have fun. I'm planning on going back sometime this winter myself. That is the best time to go because its much cooler then.
