With many beautiful attractions, cultural experiences, and long-stay accommodation, such as a monthly stay hotel in Bangkok, you can definitely extend your Thailand trip to a month or so. In fact, many visitors have repeatedly said that no matter how many times they’ve visited the country, there’s always something new to see and enjoy. So, a month? You’ll have plenty to look forward to.
Escape the Grind in Phuket
While a highly popular tourist destination in Thailand, there are ways to enjoy a more laid-back side of the province, if this is what you’re craving for.
- Be a regular tourist for a day or two and explore the many beaches, cafes, resorts, and attractions in Phuket
- Book a stay inland, far from the busy touristy areas, if you want to enjoy some peace and quiet. Otherwise, accommodation near beaches offers accessibility to local shops and restaurants
- Meet new people, local or expats, as you’re likely to find plenty of them in Phuket
Enjoy the Hustle & Bustle in Bangkok
If you love the sounds and sights of the city, Bangkok is the place to be. So many visitors have fallen in love with it that you might find yourself looking up a guide to relocating to Thailand.
- Spend a couple of days experiencing the local culture, visiting temples, and the famous floating markets
- Go on a gastronomic journey with the city’s amazing and delicious food that is surprisingly affordable. You’ll find a range of options from street food to high-end restaurants
- Experience the colourful nightlife in the bars, pubs, and other entertainment areas in and around Sukhumvit
- If you want to take a breather, you can spend a day with Bangkok’s several National parks
Spend Lazy Days in Chiang Mai
Although a flight away or an 8-hour train ride from Bangkok, Chiang Mai is definitely worth spending a week or more in. It’s one of the popular places to visit north of Thailand, after all.
- Go temple hopping on foot. Yes, there’s literally a temple you’ll bump into every time you turn a corner, and each one is more beautiful than the last
- Hold off your shopping until the Sunday night market, where bargains are everywhere, and you can splurge on amazing souvenirs for less than the usual price
- Join a cooking class and learn how to make local Chiang Mai dishes long after you return home.
- Book a day trip and visit the Grand Canyon, Sticky Waterfall (Bua Thong), Monk’s Trail, and more
Hua Hin
Thailand’s beaches are one of the reasons visitors apply for a visa extension and among your options is Hua Hin. What makes it worth visiting? It’s less crowded than other islands.
- Spend a quiet walk by the beach, especially early in the morning. Sam Roi Yot beach is a secluded option with a long and wide beach area.
- Explore the island’s natural wonders, including the Pan Buri Forest and Sam Roi Yod National Park, and Phraya Nakhon Cave.
- Spend a day swimming at the beach and go camping where allowed
If you allocate a week for every location listed above, you’ve only visited four places, and your month is already up. This only shows 30 days is never enough when visiting Thailand. The next time you want to focus your visit in Bangkok, book a month-long stay at the Rembrandt Residence.
