Every place. Goes without saying but NEVER drink tap water or accept ice in your drink, and don't eat pork no matter how legit the place looks. Overall it's safe and language barrier is manageable, remember to barter for everything. Also bring your own sunscreen because for some reason it's the only expensive thing here.

White girls, dirty beaches, no ice in your drinks and no pork? Different strokes I guess, but it sounds to me like you're doing Thailand wrong. And speaking of "strokes," the majority of massage places specialize in slightly painful but thoroughly relaxing traditional Thai massages, which do not include any extracurricular activities.
