The easiest way to get to Bangkok is through Hong Kong.
I am going to thailand next week and bought a ticket on Air Canada to Hong Kong then bought a separate ticket on Thai air from Hong Kong to Bangkok for $350.
Flights were cheaper but I think the recent political troubles have really cut down tourism in Thailand, so prices are up now.
You should join Aeroplan before you fly because it is about 17,000 miles round trip which will get you a free flight within Canada.
I have Elite status with aeroplan which gets me free access to airport lounges and free upgrades to first class, with lie down suites.
If you gather 35,000 aeroplan miles in one year you get elite status.
I would recommend buying airline lounge access for your layovers as you get free food, drinks, showers, internet etc.
On average I would say the hotels would cost about $800 for 10 days if splt between Bangkok and Pattaya.
The transportation and stuff I will have to put together a price.
In General things cost about 25% of what they cost in Canada.
A bottle of heineken at a bar is $1 - $1.50.
Cigarettes are $1 per pack.
You can get a good meal starting at $5 and full 1 hour thai massages are about $10.
I think a winter - spring trip is the best since it is so hot over there.
No specific plans but march - may dates might work.
