Country forumsThailandThailandVacation ideas for Phuket, Krabi and S.E. Islands#1

Hi,
i’ve friend who’s planning about 17 days in the Phuket, Krabi and Islands area in January 2019. He has a young son 5 y.o and his wife, Europeans. They have a good budget for resort accommodation.
They were thinking about Phuket and Phi but ages since i’ve been to either. I didn’t think Patong was suitable for a family, is that still the case? They could stay at Karon or Kata Beach is there much to do in the evening there? (without all the girly bars, obviously) What about Phi Phi? Last time I was there (10 years ago) it just seemed like Spring Break! Perhaps I missed the good bits?

Also, they like boats, can anyone recommend island cruises for a few nights to a week in the area?

thanks for any help

I'm in Japan, enjoying my last few hours of emergency-free life.

You should have done some research on the Thorntree! :-) I posted about my experiences of Route 23 a few years ago:

https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/asia-south-east-asia-mainland/laos/route-9-and-route-23-muang-phin-to-toumlan-on-foot

Pretty adventurous hiking area. I needed a lot of skills and some luck to not get lost there myself. Good you made it through in the end though!

When were you in Bengkulu? Is that where you ended your trip?

Learn all about the island of Awaji, the largest island in Japan's Inland Sea. You can contact me through that website, if you wish.
Also, Japan's architectural and historic heritage.

Country forumsThailandThailandIndonesia or more time in Thailand?#1

Hi everyone!

I'm going to Thailand in march and am having trouble deciding where to go.
We have 20 days, and are already decided to go to: Bangkok, Rayley and Phi Phi.

But we still have a "free" week and need help to decide:
1) Should we go to Ko Lipe and Chiang Mai?
2) or should we seize this opportunity and fly to Bali (speding a day in Nusa Lembongan)?

I would love to hear from all whom already travelled to this places.
We love beautiful beaches and are excited to meet different cultures.

Thanks for the input!

Country forumsThailandThailandWhere to visit - Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Pai or all?#2

You can readily travel by bus to those towns. You can get to Pai by mini buses from Arcade bus station in Chiang Mai. Pai is popular but some may find it over commercialized. You can find hotel and resort accommodation but there are also many simple guesthouses. Scenery is pleasant in Pai but there is better scenery 40 kms away at Soppong (Pang Mapha) and Tham Lod (name of village as well as name of the cave there).

Country forumsThailandThailandSuggestions for itinerary for southern thailand (mid november for 2 weeks)#2

If you haven't already done so worth to check out guidebook. Mid november is a short monsoon time on Samui side All these places are developed , built up and somewhat expensive - particularly Railay Beach, Krabi - are you okay with that ? Some find Phi Phi island too spoiled.
You also need to give details on style of accommodation and budget.

Country forumsThailandThailandVary the islands or wasting time#3

lol big boi beach shorts? Obviously its easy to say that once there but problem is if im booking accommodation in advance then I need to make decisions before I go as ive not been its hard to say hence seeing what others who have been think?

One could stay in Phuket and phi phi for 10-15 days and see different islands/beaches every/most days? Looking online it seems so.

But is it really worth taking extra time to travel to Ao Nang and base there few days. I guess Railay is the appeal. having obviously not been there Im asking is it gonna offer much more than anything id already seen?

Thanks.
