Hi there,

The alert about the burn-offs made me a bit nervous. So we’re definitely thinking of heading south instead.

I’m looking for a first stop fairly close to Bangkok (ideally within 2 hours max), somewhere relaxing—maybe Samut Sakhon? Sleeping in a coconut grove?

Then we’d head further south.

We’d love some nature and to visit one or two parks… which one though?

We’d also like to visit one or two islands.

And maybe head back up with an internal flight?

What I’ve read about Prachuap Khiri Khan and the surrounding area makes me want to go there.

So many places are tempting—it’s hard to choose! I bought the Lonely Planet guide and I’ve been looking online a bit, but I don’t have much time right now.

If you have any links to help me get a better idea of the routes (trains, ferries, flights), that would really help me plan my itinerary. I’m struggling to find all that info.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for your tips! I’ll look into changing my arrival, etc...

Thanks for your message—we thought the burning season was later. We’ll take another look at it. I got the *Guide du Routard*; I don’t think it’s great!

Hi there,

We’re planning a trip to Thailand with my husband and our two 7-year-old kids. Three weeks in February/March. Our rough itinerary is: arriving in Bangkok for 3-4 days, then Chiang Mai and the surrounding area, and finally an island in the south.

-We land in Bangkok around 7 AM. Any hotel recommendations? We’d love to rest right after we arrive. Budget is around 40 € per night.

For the rest, I’m open to any tips or suggestions:

-Accommodation in Chiang Mai, and maybe a night in an elephant sanctuary park...

-Should we take the overnight train to Chiang Mai on the way there or on the way back?

-Which island should we choose?

We love authentic experiences and connecting with locals...

Thanks so much!!!

Elodie.
