Thailand travel guide
Thailand is the easiest first trip in Southeast Asia. The classic loop: Bangkok (3 nights) → Chiang Mai (3 nights) → an island (4+ nights, Phuket / Krabi / Koh Samui). Cheap domestic flights make it painless.
Best time to visit
November – February (cool, dry). April is Songkran — fun but soaked.
Suggested trip length
10–14 days
Daily budget
THB · mid-range ~$60–110/day incl. accommodation
Things nobody tells you about Thailand
Get an eSIM before you land
Airalo Thailand covers all provinces. Local SIMs need a passport and a queue at the airport.
Grab, not taxis in Bangkok
Metered cabs sometimes refuse the meter for tourists. Grab (like Uber) has fixed fares and English support.
Islands: skip Phuket in high season
Koh Lanta, Koh Yao Noi and Koh Kood are calmer alternatives with cheaper accommodation.
