In Thailand right now. Agree as above that Bangkok is horrible and there's much more to see. I suggest Chiang Mai, touristic but not fake and as lots to offer in terms of people, things to see, clean beds, restaurants, bars etc.
I suppose Chiang Rai can only be more real.
Highly suggest a trip in Isaan too. Poorer but with plenty of Khmeir history and influences from Laos and Cambodia. Very interesting place.
Next will be the Trang Islands. Will report back
I'd avoid Samui and Phuket and go to Koh Lanta or less known islands. The best seems to be Koh Koot
