The emerald lake surrounded by jungle cliffs in Ang Thong Marine Park

Thailand trip planner

Thailand made easy: temples, islands and the north, in the right order

Bangkok, Chiang Mai and the islands are easy to list and hard to sequence. Seasons differ coast by coast — your plan will match the weather, not a brochure.

Plan my Thailand trip

Regions I plan in Thailand

Bangkok

Where to stay by the river, street food with confidence, day trip choices.

Chiang Mai & the North

Ethical elephant sanctuaries, temples, cooking classes, mountain towns.

Andaman islands

Phuket, Krabi, Koh Lanta — which one fits you, and when to go.

Gulf islands

Koh Samui and neighbors — the better choice in some months.
