In reply to Sankar Roy. Hi Sankar. Your itinerary sounds great to me already ! Be sure you know the distances involved and look into how busy those roads are. We've only gone north of Chiang Mai by hire car, up there the roads are quiet, it's the countryside, but you're driving back almost to Bangkok so it's a long way in a short time and you may have to use motorways. Just stay safe ! I think you need more time really, 1 day in Chiang May is very short, but 1 day in Sukhothai, Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi may be enough although 2 days in each would be better. You'll need 2-3 days in Bangkok unless maybe you book a tour and see as much as possible in 1 day. But it will be exhausting !

Hi, Alyson Long It’s fabulous, i dn’t think to visit Thailand after reading your full blog on Thailand. on April I will visit to Thailand, basically I was planned Phuket – Bangkok, but after reading you blog on Northern Thailand I planned to extend my tour. I will be with my family. What’s i planned is from Bangkok to Chang Mi i will go by train, then return if rent car to hault in Sukhothai, next day to Bangkok. So total in 3 days i can cover Northern part of Thailand. can you please suggest from where I can start(Itineary), I will come from Kolkata, India. My iteineary Kolkata – Phuket(3 days) – Bangkok(2 days)- Next day morning train to Chang Mi( full next day) – then back by car(en route visiy Sukhotai, Ayutthaya, kanchanburi).

In reply to Talitha. Me too Talitha, and boats. Both force you to relax and just enjoy the scenery. A full-service airline is always nice too:)

Train travel is always an experience … I believe trains are my favourite means of locomotion!
