Ok Teakdorians , pool your collective and vast experience of Bkk and K Samuii to give me a heads up on most suitable locations / accommodations for a whirlwind 8 night Thailand experience.
My 58yo sister , mother to 4 and wife to a hillbilly German blacksmith , is on her first foray from Australian shores in 40 years , her first and last travels O/S to Bali in 1976.
Arrival Swampy , lunchtime 11 june.
3 days in bkk ..wants to see
Wat Arun , Jim Thompsons barn , Jutuchak market , Floating market , Chinatown , Pak klong Talad... Suggestions ?
Where is the most central place in bkk , close to Bts at around 1800b per night with breakfast ? Suggestions with a view appreciated.
Bkk to Phuket .. Get the car and drive to samuii via phangna , krabi , kura buri.
Never been to Samuii. I like the Big budda beach area after googling
Members suggestions on accomodations on the beach around 2000b per night ?
Personal experiences all the better , as I would like to give her the best time as can be had on her budget.
Background ... She was a surfie girl.. Lives on 100acre property close to the beach on the far south coast of nsw. Not a city girl.
I understand the beaches of Samuii are going to be shit in comparison to Australias .. But what else can a 58 yo mother of 4 do on a thai holiday ?
