Day-by-day trip plans built around how long you have and what you love.
14 Days in Thailand: North to South in Depth
Two weeks is Thailand done properly — three days each in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, a northern day trip to Chiang Rai or Pai, then a southern island hop finishing on the Andaman coast with Phang Nga Bay and the Phi Phi islands.
Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai: 6 Days in Northern Thailand
Northern Thailand is a world apart from Bangkok and the beaches — cooler, greener, and defined by ancient Lanna culture. Six days allows a thorough exploration of Chiang Mai's walled Old City and a day or two in Chiang Rai for the iconic White Temple and Blue Temple before the scenery really sinks in.
2 Weeks in Thailand: Ultimate Island-Hopping Route
Two weeks gives you enough time to island-hop from the Gulf of Thailand to the Andaman Sea — from Koh Samui and Koh Phangan to Koh Tao for diving, then over to Koh Lanta and a Railay Bay finale. Each island has a distinct character, and the route threads them together logically.
Thailand Digital Nomad Month: 30 Days of Working & Travelling
Spend a month testing Thailand as a remote work base. Two weeks in Chiang Mai (Thailand's nomad capital), one week in Bangkok, and a final week in Koh Lanta — long enough to settle into a routine, find your favourite cafés, and decide if longer-term Thailand suits you.
