Chiangmai

Best time to visit

December and January are the best time to visit when the temperature is cool and avoiding the monsoon season.

The hottest months in Chiang Mai are March and April where the temperature can reach 104 °F (40 °C).

Chiangmai is the largest city in northern Thailand and the second largest in Thailand after Bangkok. The city is in a mountain region and reaches the high altitude of 300 meters above sea level. The weather is much more cooler compared to Bangkok. Chiangmai is one my personal favorite destinations for travel.

Temples

Doi Inthanon National Park & King and Queen Pagoda

King and Queen Pagoda

The pagodas sit on the mountain and overlook on the country side. A stunning view point in the honour of the sixtieth birthday of the king and the queen. Those pagoda worship Buddha & ancient relics.

Kalm Village

Hikes & Local villages

Horse back riding

Phuket

Phuket is one of the southern provinces of Thailand. It consists of the island of Phuket, the country’s largest island, and another 32 smaller islands off its coast. Be extra diligent in booking your hotels to ensure you have access to the island or beach you are most excited about. Otherwise, the island can be accessed via buses or taxi within span of 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Food Tour & Old Town Tour

The historical part of Phuket is not huge but is rich and exciting enough to explore in half a day.
