hi thailand esl cafe.

i was thinking of doing some backpacking in thailand (short, maybe two or three weeks, but no real time limit). some questions:

1. what's the country like post-tsunami? is it a good time to travel?
2. anyone know of some *reliable* storag places in bangkok? (i'm coming from china and i have a little extra luggage).
3. must-sees? interested in at least a few days of beach but not the whole time.
***4. about how much would a one-way ticket bangkok-new york or bangkok-san francisco cost if i bought it in the city? is it better just to buy online? know any good websites?
5. what's a good budget for three weeks? love thai food, would probably try to stay in hostels, etc.

thanks a bunch
