Thailand Itinerary

All of my arrangements for Thailand are now complete. The image below is my final itinerary for Thailand. All yellow blocks are hotels/hostels which are already booked. All blue blocks are travel that I have already booked. I don't think I need to book or plan on booking accomodations in any of the areas which are blank, as these places shouldn't be as busy. Once I get up to Chiang Mai, I will be flexible to do a trek or go anywhere else in the north I see fit for 5 nights. While I will definitely plan on being in Koh Lanta to do some SCUBA, the island should be much more quiet than Phuket or Phi Phi, so I should be able to find a room and a scuba company once I get there. The Hilton Acadia is a 5 star resort which I booked using AMEX points - which will be great to have some luxury after "roughing" it while trekking in the North. I can't wait to roll up to the hotel full of honeymooners looking like a dirty grungy backpacker.



Look out for future posts on photography, A to Do logistical list of pre-trip logistics, and perhaps a review of my amazing whitewater rafting adventure which occurred this past weekend.

I'm impressed with your level of organization! This time next week, I will be on the plane to Thailand! We are also planning on staying at Julie's in Chiang Mai (haven't made reservations, though) and spending a few days in Ko Lanta, so I'll let you know if I come across any cool, off-the-beaten-path places you should check out.

Awesome. Have a blast, and definitely let me know about your trip. I don't have any specific plans for those 5 or 6 days up North before I fly down to Phuket, so I'm interested to hear about what you do up there.

FYI, I was just able to email Julie's Guesthouse and they were able to make a note to hold me a room based on my arrival info. I didn't have to give them any credit card info or anything, so you might want to consider doing the same if you know when you plan on being there.
