In reply to Paul. I haven't been island hopping further south yet -- it's on my todo list! (Also I wanted to keep this itinerary general.) But lots of people love Koh Lipe, Koh Kradan, etc. Mainland southern tip of Thailand has seen fewer tourists due to political conflicts.

HI Marek, we are thinking of touring Thailand during 1st Qtr of 2025, I notice that you have not included any destinations further south than Koh Lanta ? I am curious to understand if there is any reason to travel further south than Koh Lanta ? Thanks Paul & Helen

In reply to Jessie. If this is your only chance to see Angkor Wat, I think it's a great idea! It's quite a spectacular site so if you're going there, I would cut any other archaeological sites from your time in Thailand. It's nice to have 2 days for Angkor Wat as it's a big place.

Hi Marek,
Thank you so much for an amazing itinerary and callouts to avoid the tourist traps! We are planning a 2 week trip to Thailand and are debating on going to Siem Reip. We fly into Bangkok and we are thinking about flying to Siem Reip for a day or two then flying to Chiang Mai for a couple of days then flying down to the gulf coast. Any advice?

In reply to Kris. Hmm basically all direct flights to NYC and other major international destinations go through Bangkok. So your only option may be to take a domestic flight to Bangkok before flying home. Or maybe there's something out of Phuket airport, though it'll probably involved a stopover somewhere.

Hi, thanks so much for all of the above. I am planning my trip now and will be doing 15 days total. This includes a long (9 hr layover) in Tokyo on my way to Bangkok. I am wondering if I do the 2 weeks your recommend above, should I fly back home to NY from Bangkok or is there another option so I don’t have to go back through Bangkok.
thanks so much!

Hey,
this itinerary proved to be life saver for me and my brother recently, as we were planning for our parents trip for their 25th anniversary. Thailand is a place that i didn’t knew anything about but my dad wanted to visit this place since forever i have heard him talk about his one of the many dream destinations. thank you so much

In reply to Chrisse.

Not been to Chiang Dao yet though one of my contributors is writing a guide for it right now. Pai is very fun and vibrant but also very touristy and not very ‘Thai’. Chiang Dao is not so discovered yet. Based on what I know, it’s personally where I’d choose to go if planning another trip now.

Not done trekking out of Chiang Mai so don’t have a good lead for you sorry!
