Help me where should I go in Thailand?

[Chibs]

@endo I didn’t know that was a thing. We went in late August so everything was clear and beautiful. The fruit was crazy sweet too. Cambodia is a quick flight from Bangkok and also great if you want to to spend a couple of days visiting the Wats.

For laid back beach time Ko Pra Thong is amazing. It's a little remote (3hrs bus from Phuket, then a 1 hour boat ride). Relatively underdeveloped. Not a place to go if you want moon parties and all that, but beautiful and chill.

@Mizmazzle said in Help me where should I go in Thailand?:

But it led me into some really interesting back alleys of the city and I met some really colorful people

Did you improve your table tennis skills?

We rendezvoused with the family two years ago in a villa on Phuket in Kamala Beach. We loved it. Yes, Phuket does attract the tourists. But because Kamala Beach is south of Patong, it seems to filter most tourists out. Super chill with a nice beach.

@endo I was there in 2016 so almost a decade ago. Loved Bangkok, koh phangan, koh tao and also koh samui was nice but a little crowded. If you can, I can recommend spending a couple days in cambodia, siem reap was a cool experience

@Bridger haha. I guess it did kind of come across that way. Ping Pong show not my thing…

But genuinely, it was more like odd marketplaces and alley ways lined with unique characters selling all sorts of random stuff. I discovered some really cool old Thai psych music and traditional style Thai pop and what not. It was a really fun musical scavenger hunt.

Thanks @jimcasey will check on Ko Pra Thong, sounds like my kind of thing.

@FlavourFade I travelled Cambodia in the 90s, when the Khmer Rouge still controlled half the country, nobody really reigned in Phnom Penh, and I almost drowned when our boat sank in the middle of the Tonle Sap (another story). Back then, I was the only tourist in Angkor Wat with about 5-6 other people, and I rode alone from temple to temple on a motorbike. That can't be repeated.

@endo wow !! That sounds like a story I'd like to hear with a nice cold beer!! Cambodia has still been quite the adventure when I was there but nowhere close to your trip

@endo drop by singapore on your way back!!

[endo]

@louisbosco I'd wish I could but not this time. See you next year in B'more?
