Trip
details:
|
We
spent a night in Bangkok, flew to Chiang Mai which is
the northern part of the island and spend 5 days. We
spent the rest of our honeymoon in the Southern part
of the island which has various beaches. The last few
days were made of shopping sprees in Bangkok.
|
|
Reason
for choosing this destination:
|
Seen
pictures of friends who were there and I was amazed
by the beautiful places.
|
|
How
was the weather?
|
October
/ November is not a high season. Weather was fine.
Monsoon was over and it was not too crowded nor
too hot.
|
|
Where
have you stayed?
|
We
visited 5 different places during our visit and we always
stayed in hotels except when we went to Kho Phangan
which is a small island in the South East of Thailand
and we stayed in huts which were situated on the beach.
|
|
What
did you do?
|
We
went on elephant rides, canoeing, days on the beach,
boat trips, monkey shows, crocodiles, partying and shopping.
Floating Markets and massages on the beach.
|
| The
best parts?
|
Everywhere
was just great.
|
| The
biggest regrets?
|
That
we did not stay for another week because we would have
done some tracking.
|
| Any
suggestions/warnings you would like to pass on to
couples visiting the same destination?
|
We
would like to suggest not to do any bookings beforehand
except for booking one night in Bangkok. There
are various agents around the place where you can
book your next destination. Lonely Planet
was definitely a good guide.
|
| What's
the suggested budget for a similar trip?
|
Depends,
such holiday may total up to Lm 2,000 per couple on
a budget but you can spend much more.
|
| Any
other comments?
|
Thailand
is a beautiful country full of culture and places
to see. It is definitely worth visiting. Our
honeymoon will not be our first and last visit
to Thailand for sure!
