About this trail:
Notes for planning a trip to thailand. Highlights from past trips: Chiang Mai - nice sized city with lots of temples, easy to get around by walking or Tuk Tuk. Bangkok - crazy/big/frenetic traffic but you must stay for a night or two. Don't miss the Emerald palace. Koh Samuii - it sounds like its been quite developed since I visited. But on the plus side, it is easier to get to with its own airport. Krabi/Railay beach: beautiful limestone cliffs/white sand beaches... Phuket: it was overdeveloped back in the 90's.

You must stay in Bangkok for a night or two. Its crazy/frenetic city but a must see. Don't miss the Emerald Palace.

This is my first choice for beach areas in Thailand. It sounds like this place is moving upscale from the backpacker days... its where the James Bond movie 'Man with the Golden' gun was filmed (the end part). The limestone cliffs and white sand beaches are amazing.

We stayed at Chaweng beach in the 90's. Now, It looks overdeveloped (for my taste). I might try one of the smaller beaches around the island.

Chiang Mai: great base for Northern Thailand. Its a nice sized - walkable city. Nice temples, night market. Great celadon pottery, silk and wood carvings. We went trekking in the neighboring hills/mountains.

We stayed here in the 90's and loved the place. The location is great... close to night market and the river. It has character and nice thai antique furnishings. Sounds like recent reviews aren't too positive, though...
