Where to visit in the south?
Hey,
So my partner and I are travelling to Thailand and at the end of October, arriving in Chiang Mai on 30th, and then head home from Phuket on 20th November. Our current plan is as follows:
- Chiang Mai until 2nd November and then sleeper train to Bangkok
- Bangkok to 6th November and then a sleeper train to Surat Thani
- 7-9 November, head straight from Surat Thani to Khao Sok
- 9 November leave Khao Sok for Krabi
This is where we then end up a bit stuck. We think we want a few days in Krabi, Phi Phi and Phuket but we're conscious that we will have done a lot of travelling by that point and we're keen for some relaxation at the end of the holiday.
We're both in our mid-30s and we're not looking for anything too busy or a party vibe. Ideally somewhere more chill and laid back.
Any thoughts / suggestions would be welcome. Best places to base ourselves? Places to avoid? Suggestions on length of time anywhere (e.g. if you'd suggest only spending like a day or two in Krabi and then spend more in Phi Phi or Phuket)?
We're entirely flexible and just want to make sure we get the most out of our time so any thoughts would be very welcome!
