Useful Tips

If you have more time:

• Visit Sukhothai Historical Park to see the ancient city's ruins.
• Explore the Chiang Rai area with its stunning temples, including the White Temple, and view the unique landscapes from Doi Tung.
• Take a day trip to Koh Samet Island, recommended for crystal-clear water and charming beaches.

If you have less time:

• Omit Khao Yai National Park. It is one of the farthest destinations from Bangkok on this itinerary.
• Skip Pai Canyon and Hot Springs; they are a bit challenging to reach by car, and not suitable for young children.
• Remove Koh Phi Phi and Maya Bay, fly directly to Krabi to spend more time on Koh Lanta Beach and other activities in the surrounding areas.
