Don't Try to Visit Both Island Coasts on One 2-Week Trip
The #1 mistake first-time visitors make is trying to squeeze Phuket/Krabi and Koh Samui into the same 14-day vacation, losing a full day in transit across the peninsula. Instead, pair Bangkok (3–4 nights) and Chiang Mai (3–4 nights) with one southern coast (5–6 nights) chosen by your travel month in our Thailand Itinerary Builder.
