I thought it used to be a sticky, but appears to have been bumped.
Anyway, without trying to hijack KK's trip report, I'll keep it quick.
I'm from the same area as you and did bring my phone, just swapped out the sim when I got there and had a local thai number.
However not all US phones will work overseas.
Your phone must be a world phone, i.e. compatible with the Thai networks (you'll have to look your up - I'm not sure if dual band will work, I have a quad band). It also shouldn't have SIM Lock, which unfortunately most US carriers have. Although I have heard for a fee, the shops in Thailand can get around this - I didn't have to worry about it so my info is just hearsay.
Welcome to the forum, search around and read a lot, there is tons of info here, and if you still have questions I'm sure someone here has the answer
