I’ve been 3 times! Exactly where will you be?
Malaysia is nice too but where you go, if you do, will be determined by what you’re after in Malaysia (beach or city?)
Cheryl
Just need to go to a neighboring country to increase time on our visa in Thailand. So northern tip of Malaysia best. Beach of course. Snorkelling and (diving perhaps)
Michael
Shangri-la in kuala Lampor is amazing and reasonably priced.
Go to jog phagnan but go 4 days after the fullmoon party. It’ll be so quiet and low key.
Samui is, of course, great fun but it can be busy. There again, after the full moon party is better
If you need specific locational tips let me know

We love Bubbles Dive resort on the Perhentian island, not glamourous, but the owners are cool, it isn't halal, the beach/reef is private, and they run their own turtle hatchery. Very rustic accommodation but we've been a few times. However just occurred to me it might still be closed for monsoon season.

We took a first class train trip from Bangkok to Chaing Mai and still laugh over the experience,

I agree

Koh Samui is so beautiful, And quiet! you can fly there
good if you’re looking to get away and relax. Thailand is full of hustle and bustle, but it’s a not so busy island. And if you’re really feeling adventurous, you can take a ferry past koh phangan (full moon party island) and go to koh Tao!

Tao

Chiang Mai for sure!! You can fly there for cheap, much faster and more comfortable than the train. I stayed at an amazing Guesthouse there that was walking distance to so much! I also loved Koh Lanta.

Do you remember the name of the guest house you stayed at?

We went to borocay islands in the Philippines from Thailand which was really nice. Ao nang in the krabi resort near Phuket was also nice.

Heading to Thailand for 6 weeks in Jan/Feb?
If you're planning to spend 6 weeks in Thailand during Jan/Feb, you're in for an amazing experience! Thailand is a beautiful country with so much to offer, from stunning beaches to vibrant cities and delicious food. Here are some tips and suggestions to make the most of your trip:
Island Hopping on the East Coast
Island hopping on the east coast of Thailand is a fantastic way to explore the country's beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters. Some popular islands to visit include Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. Make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and swimwear!
Avoiding Full Moon Parties
It's great to hear that you're not interested in attending full moon parties, as they can be quite crowded and rowdy, especially for those over 55. Instead, consider exploring the quieter beaches and islands for a more relaxing experience.
Visiting Neighboring Countries
Since you have 6 weeks in Thailand, you may want to consider visiting one of the neighboring countries for a different cultural experience. Some popular options include Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, or Cambodia. Each country has its own unique attractions and cuisine, so do some research to see which one interests you the most.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Thailand is a fantastic destination with something for everyone. Whether you're looking to relax on the beach, explore ancient temples, or sample delicious street food, you're sure to have a memorable trip. Just remember to pack light, stay hydrated, and be open to new experiences!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or tips you may have for your trip. Enjoy your time in Thailand!
