Did 4 months out in Thailand in 2007.
1 month there, 1 month working back in the UK.
Was ace. Love to be able to do it again. So many new places to go though.
Sleeper train south out of BKK after a 14 hour flight and stop in Abu Dhabi was a winner. Then off the train and as a lot will know the boat ride to Samui is food for the soul.
Spent a month in the sticks in Isaan. Temples mainly and oowee, in June it was hot. Went back in January and it was perfect. Cool nights, no sore throat air con.
Chiang Mai’s a winner too.
The best piece of advice I could give to anybody wanting to travel in SE Asia is to try not to stick to a busy schedule. The rush in Thailand is all in BKK, it can be stressful to have to rush to do something. Go with the flow, make plans but keep them loose.
and don’t drink too much Thai whisky.
