I’m trying to plan a family trip…husbands 2 college age kids(will be 19/21). Due to school/work, we can only travel in December/January…peak season. While my 54 yo husband would probably be delighted with Phuket, it’s just not my scene. We have always dreamed of going to Thailand, we want to go for 14 days, see Bangkok for a few days, I love animals so must see an elephant/animal sanctuary and stay at a fun but authentic dreamy Thai beach area where there is just less tourism…where you can book 5* hotels at 3* price, great inexpensive food, activities and authentic Thai culture experiences? Any suggestions?
