Thailand

[scoob]

Understand there are a couple of threads on specific places in Thailand, thought a thread on Thailand in general would be good.

Heading over in Nov / Dec for around 6 weeks, wondering what our options are - bit of chilling out on the beach, a bit of site seeing in the hills, few days in Bangkok... What are peoples experiences away from the more known tourist traps.

White water rafting in Chiang Mai. Should get some good flows around that time, not long after the seasonal rains.

as ive said befire PHUKET is a tourist trap. others disagree.
North Thailand and Chang Mia are great spots... mountain, village treks are awesome. Some of my best ever travel experiences up there.

Heading to Koh Samui and Phuket in late October

Staying at Phuket Graceland and The Amari Palm Reef Koh Samui

Im more of a relaxer than traveller but will get out the resort and see what thailand has to offer....

As mentioned above Chiang Mai is fantastic. A lot to see. Easy to get around. Cheap. Relatively safe. Very accomodating/hospitable people.

Cheers fellas great ideas/experiences - keep them coming... Chiang Mai looks like a dead cert... Laos would be great too... 6 weeks should be plenty of time to see both.

Krabi - very relaxed and everything you need without the mass crowds/idiots. Spent my honeymoon in Khao Lak last November, just an awesome time. Heading over again in November after a week lazing about in Langkawi

[White Line Fever]

I love Thailand

No point giving tips - experience it for yourself

Langkawi is still our favourite if we want a relaxing week.

We had that fight on the first trip the colder it gets up North the more of them pop up in Phuket.

Enjoy your trip.
