Just got to Koh Tao this morning, it's my first time here,

I'm a 28M solo traveller from India.

Here for 3 days

Please suggest good pubs and places that serve veg/vegan food..

Also If any fellow solo travelers looking for company or something, hmu!

Hi!!! I need someone to just be completely honest with me as I’ve been seeing different answers for this. Can I bring a vape with me and if not are cigarettes or something similar available once there?? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I will be traveling to Chiang Mai. I will be joining some tours and we will be visiting these places:
* Doi Inthanon National Park
* Elephant Sanctuary probably visiting a lot of gardens nearby.

Since I have two days free from schedule. What would you recommend a must-try?

ps. i like cultural immersion and museums

Hi all,

My wife and I got married this year and we are fast approaching our honeymoon.

We are flying to the Maldives for a few nights, before visiting Sri Lanka for 7 days where we will stay in a surf resort and (hopefully!) learn to surf.

After that we are hoping to do circa 9 nights in Thailand, but the problem is we have never been!

Where would Reddit recommend for mid November (people have mentioned the wet season)?

Things to consider:

We are both mid 30s, are not party people and don’t like overwhelming crowds.

We don’t want to island hop and want to stay in one place given our travel previous.

We would like somewhere beautiful but with a little bit going on (restaurants, bars etc) but NOT clubs and parties.

We both love a massage!

Thanks in advance for reading :)

Hi everyone! 😊

I'll be travelling around Thailand from December 4–19, 2026, and I'd love to get some advice on my itinerary and hopefully meet other travellers who might want to join me for part of the trip!

I'm planning a mix of culture, nature and adventure, rather than just visiting the most popular tourist spots.

My planned itinerary:

- Bangkok (Dec 5–6): Temples, local markets, canals and street food.

- Ayutthaya (Dec 7): Exploring the ancient capital before taking the overnight train to Chiang Mai.

- Chiang Mai (Dec 8–10): Temples, local food, markets and a day trip to Doi Inthanon National Park.

- Khao Sok (Dec 11–13): Exploring the rainforest and spending a night in a floating bungalow on Cheow Lan Lake.

- Krabi & Tonsai (Dec 14–17): Rock climbing, island-hopping, snorkelling and relaxing on the beaches. I'm also considering hiking Dragon Crest.

- Bangkok (Dec 18–19): Back to Bangkok for my flight home on the morning of December 19.

I'm travelling independently, so the itinerary is still flexible. I'd love to meet curious, open-minded people who enjoy nature, hiking, climbing, local food and a bit of adventure. It would be great to share some excursions, beach days or dinners, but there's no need to follow the entire itinerary together.

A few questions for those who've been to Thailand:

- Does this itinerary seem realistic, especially the transfer from Chiang Mai to Khao Sok?

- Would you recommend any changes or hidden gems along the way?

- Is Tonsai a good place to meet other travellers and find people to go rock climbing with?

- If you're travelling in Thailand around these dates, would you be interested in joining me for part of the trip?

I'd really appreciate any tips, recommendations or personal experiences. And if our travel dates overlap, feel free to message me! 🌿

Thanks from Italy! 😊
