Any ideas of things to see and do in Thailand?

Question

We are travelling to Bangkok for 7 nights, Koh Samui for 6 nights and Phuket for 4. Does anyone know of any great tours we can take ,or any must see sights?

Answer 1

If you around bangkok, try to visit Muang Boran....(ancient city) you can have bicycle riding around it shows you how was Thailand and the living before time. Wat pho for a professional thai massage (it is really good i miss it already). Maybe 7 nights in bangkok is a bit tooo much. Try somewhere closer like Kanchanaburee for 2 days....to raft and see daed railway ...

Samui and pHuket are both interesting you can do snokling diving,take boat trip to islands near by...enjoy some nightlife on the beach with small beach bar and the local:)

In Phuket... u must go to fantasea show if u like cultural programmes. Its a kind of fantasy show where the theatre is decorated beautifully and the girls are dress like fairies.....so if u r a fantasy lover u must visit this place.

2. Phi phi island by a spped boat. This takes one full day. Now dont

get congused when the tour agent says phi phi by cruiser. Its a big NO. Tell him u want to go by speed boat which goes and stops in all the small islands. Crusier is so huge that it cant go to the interiors of the island.

3. Shopping in Patong area. Other places in Phuket are chalong temple, and promthep cape....very beautiful to see and take pictures. Beaches are plenty...every beach looks beautiful.

Hope this helps.  

Answer 4

Muang Boraan is something I fully concur with. It's an open air museum with usually 1:1 models of Thai houses. You can easily spent a day there. Highly recommended.

The Calypso kathoeyshow in Asia hotel is something nice for the evening.

And I always recommend doing a bicycletour. Not too many people do that, and it's a great way to see lot of Bangkok you'd otherwise miss.

Answer 5

visiting Phi phi islands is a must!! Just about every second shop (in Phuket) has a tour desk. They will have brochures of all the tours you can take. Have a look at them; get some prices and then book. Most agents take bookings up to 9pm the night before you want to go on the trip. There’s a lot to see and do. One recommendation is to take the drive to Promthep Cape & Rawai.  There is also an aquarium that you might want to check out.

A number of tour companies offer trips to Phi Phi; most are very good and safe. Just remember:  you get what you pay for. A good trip to Phi Phi should cost you between 2400 Baht and 2800Baht. When you find them offering trips for under 2000Baht, there is usually a reason why they are so cheap.

All Phi Phi Islands visits include pickup from your hotel lobby, some snorkeling, and relaxing for a couple of hours on their clean beaches.  None of the trips are more than 10 hours in length (even the half day trip is also 7-8 hours).  In all, they are all safe and cover exactly same locations. But the tour info desk staff will advise you best.

You can also try this http://www.discovery-thailand.com ,  lots of info, and also offer great discount for hotel booking, up to 80% off.  Have a nice trip!

Answer 6

I'd avoid Phuket's big tourist places like Patong. If you HAVE to stay on Phuket, Rawai is laid back, but I'd still recommend Khao Lak, just north of Phuket island. It's less touristy and the people are nice. You should see the temples and Khao Sok National Park if you can!

Answer 7

Koh samui you can do alot! Dving, snorkeling, hiking, watch thai kick boxing ect...
