your article really makes me put Koh Tao in my top 3 destinations for next year! I have a friend who recently spent 3 weeks in Thailand and went diving in Koh Tao as well, she absolutely loved the Sail Rock (https://dive.site/explore/site/sail-rock-OZNE) and generally the whole island. she also fell in love with the food there and just remembering her food pics makes me crave it soooo badly!

I spent two months this year in Thailand and I already dream about going back there. I focused on the Nothern part of the country last time so I sill have all the beautiful islands to explore. This could be my plan for upcoming January… 🙂
Thanks for the tips!

Hi Marek, really love this post and your blog in general. I’ve just spent a month in Thailand and I felt that it wasn’t enough time and this post backs that up! Will have to return in the future!

In reply to valeria. Hey Valeria. Yeah, Sukhothai is definitely worth it :) There are plenty of buses going from Chiang Mai. Takes about 4 hours if I recall correctly.

Hi Marek!!! Your blog it’s being my guide for days since I found it….Congrats! It’s amazing… I’ll be travelling on January, and I’d like to give more time to temples and ruins instead of the beaches… I’d like to go to Sukhothai, and I’m thinking it would be a ood choice to get there from Chiang Mai….before going to Angkor Wat and get further away. What do you think?? What would u do in terms of public transport??? I’d appreciate so much your response… Thanks for all the info you share with the world…So grateful!

Hi Marek, I plan on travelling to Thailand and staying for a month sometime around December. I’ve never been before so this is a great itinerary to keep in mind. Thanks!

In reply to Alex.

I always struggle to answer this question! I usually have the luxury of more time available.

It depends on what you like. If you want to focus on culture, nature, temples, etc. then you might as well spend that whole week in northern Thailand – e.g. around Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Pai. There’s just loads to see and do there.

If you want to include some beach time as well, then maybe spend 4 days in Chiang Mai and go to, say, Koh Phangang for 3 days (which is easily reached by flight from Bangkok to Koh Samui, then ferry).

Hey! I know that this is a tough question but I only have one week to explore Thailand (plus an additional 3 days in Bangkok) and I was wondering what do you think is the best way to split my time? What would you recommend doing in just one week?
