I've worked in both countries. Thailand is better. More people speak English there and the people are much more polite.
Whatever you do, don't insult or say anything about Thailand's royal family. They are almost considered a diety by the Thai people.
The king's sister came to the hotel where I was staying in Bangkok and they literally shut down the lobby while she entered. They had a crew unroll a carpet for her to walk on from the front door of the hotel to the restaurant (which they closed to anyone except people in her party while she was there) where she was going to eat lunch. After she walked to the restaurant, the same crew then rolled up the carpet.
It was surreal to witness....

Thanks for the tip I've heard about the Thailand "Saving face" rule.
Do you mind expounding a little more upon Cambodia? We've got some family that has been to Thailand and we can get a little more information from them. I'd really like to visit Cambodia as well though (Vietnam too, but I don't believe we'll have enough time and we'd have to sacrifice some of the Thailand and Cambodia trip).
Was Cambodia a huge hassle? Any bad experiences? Is it difficult to navigate?
We decided just the other night this is where we'd like to go. So, we haven't researched the two that much. Prior, we were looking at Tokyo or Hong Kong. However, aside from flights, Thailand and Cambodia are substantially cheaper and we both have a dual-interest in these countries.
