In the south, yeah, check out the islands man... I liked Phuket also, but I'm not sure whats left of it since the tsunami.
If you can get up north, Chaing Mai is a neat town. Small, but cool history, and you can make it out to a hill tribe on a motorbike pretty quickly.
Man I need to get back there. |
Phuket is clear again
Chaing Mai is great too been there, pretty small but you just have to see it if you are visiting Thailand. Plus if you are going to Chaing Mai, dont forget to take an jungle trip (a real one) since Laos is pretty close. With real one I mean not a one hour elephant ride or rafting but atleast a 5 days tour to the jungle, ask for private guides. You'll be going places they dont know the time, shoot a chicken for dinner and get fresh fruits out of the trees like monkeys. The best part is that these places are tourist free, the guide told me he's taking such tours only once every 3 or 4 months. The first and the second day you'll be fuckin' around and saying you rather sleep in a hotel then on a wooden plank but the last day you wish you could stay another day. Dont take to much with you, you have it with you 24/7 and be walking at least 6 hours a day.
