Where is the best place to stay in Thailand?
There are many good places to stay in Thailand upon the city that you want to stay (Bangkok, Phuket, Chiangmai, Pattaya, or etc.).
Alternative stays off the beaten tourist track may also be arranged in Thailand, and have the advantage of offering you greater interaction with the locals - as well as accommodation that can be much more attractive and interesting than a standard hotel room.

What advice would you give Western tourists to Thailand?
They should respect views of Thais.
For example:
Respect religion
Greet people in the appropriate way
Take shoes off before entering a sacred place
Respect the 'Code of Conduct'
Thai is the official language of Thailand. Thai people speak Thai.
Thai people esp. aristocratic families love to go to Hua Hin for vacation. declared a royal resort in the 1920s, Hua Hin is the King's residence and as such is relatively free of crime and drugs. it's about 2 hours from Bangkok and a well kept secret. it boasts some of the freshest seafood in Thailand and world-class spas like Chivasom.
Most of my Thai friends, businessmen and women run away to Hua Hin for the long weekends. The place is slowly opening up to tourists who are changing the landscape of this small fishing village. so if you want to go, the sooner the better.
Outside Thailand, those Thais who can afford it choose Japan, HongKong or Australia as their favorite holiday destinations.
