How to travel Thailand | The PERFECT 2 week Itinerary😍🐘🇹🇭

Thailand the land of smiles elephants Limestone Cliffs world famous beaches delectable food and astonishing temples we're going to take you all over the country and show you what to do where to stay and how to have the best time possible if you're planning a trip to Thailand or have always wondered what it's like here then this video is for you welcome to the perfect 2E trip through [Music] Thailand [Music] we think the perfect starting point for your trip is going to be Bangkok but if you prefer you can tweak things and start in pet it's completely up to you if you choose Bangkok you're likely to land in saana boomi international airport there is another airport called Don Yong which you will use for your domestic flights around Thailand so just be aware of that from the airport we ordered a grab to our accommodation which took around 45 minutes you can take the train if you want to avoid the insane traffic the train usually takes around 25 minutes to get into the city center but it can be a bit of a pain if you have a lot of bags accommodation especially Airbnb can be a bit tricky in Thailand technically short-term stays of less than 1 month are not allowed so we recommend you book either a hotel or a hostel in the areas listed here the best areas for tourists are cm square by far the most happening and best location for shopping suum vet is bangkok's longest and most famous street which is lined with bars restaurants shopping centers and all Kyle San is good for a party scene and has lots of Backpacker options and then there's Bangkok Oldtown Which is popular for its close location to many of the historical sites Salam gets an honorable mention on theist list a financial district during the day which comes alive with rooftop bars sidewalk stores and Street vendors during the night and make sure your hotel is within walking distance of a 7-Eleven and the BTS we have a bunch of accommodation options listed in our Thailand resource Back available on our [Music] website welcome to Bangkok the first stop on our Thailand trip this bus is in Crazy city has a couple of iconic things for you to dabble in Temple hopping insane markets and shopping some crazy street food and an insane night life all right it's day one of your trip let's take you through how to have the perfect first day in Thailand after breakfast at either your hotel or my personal favorite whenever we're in Thailand 7-Eleven you're going to want to head to Oldtown to take in some of the world famous temples starting at the location of the Grand Palace and Wata home to the emerald Buddha and regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand don't forget to cover up with long pants or grab a pair of these trusty Thai Ellie pants available everywhere in Thailand this entire compound honestly is like a botanical gardens you could walk around here for hours there are temples and shrines and buildings and just so much to look at and it's so beautiful guys it's so worth coming here I definitely see wies the most popular spot in Bangkok exploring Bangkok is always more fun with some friends today we're here with Lloyd and Mandy who are also content creators and they just got back from the States from doing rving which we would love to do one day guys that's so cool they actually offered for us to use they all be one day but yeah we just going to have some fun together today w [Music] this is definitely one of the things you have to do in Bangkok T took rides man we'll be doing lots of them throughout our time in Bangkok though they so much fun I even saw a Hello Kitty theme one the other day hopefully we can find one and go on one of those too it's so cute our next stop is wat po Temple just down the road from Grand Palace you can walk or grab a Tuk Tuk what PO is famous for two things it houses the largest collection of Buddhist images in in Thailand and the Very main reason you're coming welcome to the wato reclining Buddha it's absolutely massive honestly look at it wow and it's completely covered in gold flakes how insane is that and honestly this entire building that it's in is so impressive there's beautiful murals and paintings in gold on the walls honestly so beautiful the temple is considered the earlier Center for public education and houses the school of Tha medicine known as a birthplace of traditional time massage which is still taught and practiced to this day yes you can book and get a massage at the original Tha massage school do it after a bit of sightseeing it's time for lunch and of course you're going to try and find a p thae we went to tips ofi for probably the most touristy P thae experience you'll get but it was awesome to see exactly how the dish is made have fast and efficient service and a delicious meal after lunch take some chill time and get ready for the next thing that you need to do when you're here in Bangkok on your very first day we always recommend that you either do a food tour or a city tour this Tuk Tuk tour is basically both we're going to be touring around Bangkok in the cutest little Tuk Tuk trying food looking at temples and learning about history I think it's a fantastic introductory tour first up was to try some sweet and sory street food snacks that were to die for we also had the chance to try insects for the first time you you just have to give them a try that's like a salty chip yeah yeah yeah we then visited a beautiful white temple and learned about the fascinating history of Thailand the tour was absolutely jam-packed our highlights were visiting one of the biggest and brightest flower markets and getting gifted Flowers by our amazing guide meire and then the last St of the tour yay we made it to Chinatown this is definitely a highlight here in Bangkok it's one of the top spots to visit and honestly it kind of reminds me of Time Square it's like Thailand's version of Time Square it's so cool very Chinese so of course all the signs are in Chinese lots of street food lots of buying lots of shopping here it's [Music] awesome for day two we suggest taking it a little easier because day one was pretty eventful you can start your morning off with a leisurely stroll through lumini Park be sure to look out for the monitor lizards then head over to Jim Thompson museum for a guided tour of the home and to learn all about the Thai Silk industry after the museum either take a short walk or you can opt to use a river taxi which we loved using in Bangkok down one of the canals to the next stop the next thing you have to do when you're here in Bangkok is to come to a mall and I know there's going to be people in the comments saying how on Earth can you go to a foreign country and just go to malls guys the malls here are tourist attraction themselves they are insane and if you love shopping as much as me you are going to thrive here there are massive malls there's so many we are here today at Central World Central world it's busy it's bustling there's so many tourists and we're about to go [Music] shopping in the malls there are so many nice nice restaurants there's Michelin star restaurants there's restaurants that have lines outside of them and this is one of them there were so many people outside here and I was like what is going on here we have to obviously eat there and it turns out there's boat noodles here and that's like the most popular dish to eat here in Bangkok boat noodles are basically famous in Bangkok because of all the canals and people selling food from the boats that's why they called boat noodles I got the beef one red got the chicken one and then of course we got some taii tees as well number one this is a very popular dish you should eat in Bangkok and number two you could come to the mall and eat it I know there's a couple of people that are too scared to eat street food that's why the mall is actually a really good alternative because you can have the authentic meal here and not worry about it being funny you know anyway I'm starving let's eat after the mall we've got a few options for you catch sunset on a rooftop bar we did the eagle nest in Bangkok Oldtown which overlooked the beautiful what Arun Temple it was a spectacular site you could head to one of bangkok's many night markets J fa is a popular one not too far from the CM Paragon Mall area home to over 700 different stores it's a great place to head for some dinner and drinks then if you're interested in this kind of thing go watch a Muay Thai match at the famous Roger Dam n Stadium Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport it's badass and intense so be warned then if you're the partying type or just want to check out the night life thank you or we go to k Sun Road take a stroll down the famous caran Road bangkok's craziest Street here you can eat scorpions because when in Bangkok do some shopping and grab dinner and drinks with friends also you can get your marijuana fixed here as well because if you didn't know it's recently been fully legalized here in Thailand so far you've pretty much ticked of all the best spots so day three is definitely optional if you really want to get touristy then we recommend a couple of experiences available on get your guide first one is going to be a Day Tour to the famous floating market and Railway Market it is a bit outside of the city so you can expect a 1 and 1 half hour drive to get to the market itself don't worry most tours on get your guide include pickup and drop off options if you're up for more on this day then either head to one of the sky bars we've listed on the screen now or do one of the activities you might not have done the day before all right on day four we're heading up north to my you can get there either by plane train or bus the choice is yours the flight is a little over an hour and the train or bus options are around 11 hours each we opted to fly next up on our itinerary is the beautiful changmai and you're pretty much coming to changmai for three things first is a truly bucket list worthy item and something that you must do when you come to Thailand and that is visit an elephant Sanctuary number two you're going to visit all the beautiful temples in changai and number three you're here for the food because it's next level we suggest visiting changai for 2 to three nights we've actually been here for a whole month because besides it being a really good tourist destination it's also an incredible digital Nomad spot and has some of the best Wi-Fi actually no it has the best Wi-Fi we've ever experienced and the condos and cafes are amazing here your first day and night in changai will look similar to this first of all you're going to go to one of the amazing cafes they have here they have so many our personal favorite is Oasis Cafe because it truly is an oasis it's under trees and it's got koi fish and it's got beautiful working areas it's great then after Brey you're going to go Temple hopping there's so many temples in changai the three most popular temples in changmai first of all is what pressing it is the most visited Temple and that's because it's home to one of the most important Buddha images the lion Buddha the second temple is wat changman and that is the oldest Temple in changai it was built in 1296 by the king who discovered changai and third is what ched L it is the second most popular Temple here in changai and it was built in 1441 at the time it was the highest structure during the Lana Kingdom now known as Northern Thailand and you can actually book a full Temple tour through get your guide to see and learn about all of them with a local guide at your side we'll go ahead and Link that for you down below we decided to visit this Temple because of the elephants on the side it's so cute I love the look of it online it just goes with a whole changai elephant theme you know I love [Music] it after all that Temple hopping it's time to experience the best Asian food of our lives and that is here at this restaurant called C soy nimon and of course we're here to eat C soy we've actually eaten this already and when Red tried this dish for the first time he said quote this is the best Asian dish I've ever eaten I'm not joking guys this really is my favorite dish in Asia CLA even asked me even after India and I said absolutely this is number one in my heart so we're back here again to eat this you guys definitely you have to come here it's life changing it's literally life changing but it's time for us to get an early night after this incredible meal and that's because we're going to see the elephants tomorrow and this is what you're coming to changai for to have some fun with the elephants we're here at chai Orchid and and they're one of the few ethical places in Thailand that look after these beautiful animals like I'm beaming honestly it's important for us and of course you to pick an ethical place where you're spending your money so I'll actually link an article down below and there's a whole list of all the ethical ones in this one's scratching is [Laughter] B oh shame sorry for the interruption sorry for the interruption there guys I have a feeling this is going to be a highlights of our trip here in Thailand and for you of course too cha isn't just a sanctuary they also have Bungalows all over the property giving you the chance to quite literally live amongst these wonderful creatures we also got to take the Ellies on a walk around the forest come girl let's go you ready let's walk means come okay hungry now make and feed them some tummy MTI and of course give them a bath in the river overall it was an incredibly fulfilling [Music] day if you stayed over a chai then on day six you'll wake up and be greeted first thing in the morning with room service by the elephants themselves you can then relax a bit before saying one last goodbye to the Alys it's about a 2hour drive dri back to changai if you're up to it when you're back you can go visit one last Temple head up the mountain to one of the most visited in changai offering beautiful views of the whole city down [Music] [Music] below since we're up in the north we just had to come here to Chang raai it's home to some of the most beautiful temples in the H of Thailand it's an easy bus ride from Chang ma it's about 4 hours and it's about $1 each alternatively you can take a driver or a taxi it'll be shorter but obviously a little bit more expensive we arrived this afternoon at our highly rated hostel picked up a cute little scooter for 250 bus and our first stop is here at the blue [Music] Temple [Music] there's one temple in Thailand that I have been dying to see for years now and that is the white temple this is the blue Temple and it was actually created by the student of the artist who created the white temple and if this is a sign of what the white temple is going to look like oh my word we are so excited this is truly stunning the details the colors of oh it's so beautiful the music the ambience everything's so good it is free entrance to tourists even so you can just make donations inside if you want yeah just wonderful what a great way to start Chang [Music] Rai we are up bright and early this morning to finally see Thailand's most visited Temple and probably the most beautiful temple in the whole world welcome to to White [Music] [Music] [Music] Temple this right here is worth coming to Chang Rai for it is so beautiful and as I said before I've been waiting years to see this Temple it lived up to every expectation it's so worth coming please come and do it only 100 B entrance oh amazing I mean just look at it just look at it yeah it's insane after White Temple it's time to head back to changai by bus to bought our flight down to pette [Music] it's coming to the end of your Thailand holiday and obviously you want to spend the time on the beach on the islands just soaking up the Sun and all those Island Vibes so you have basically two options you've got Krabby pette Maya Bay and peee all in the southwestern part part of Thailand or you can head to the exclusive kind of islands of kosamu Kangen and cotal on the Southeastern part of Thailand this behind me is pette and we're currently on Kat noi Beach pette is basically famous for its beaches and it's insane nightlife and there's a couple of other things you can do as well it's definitely the most popular of the two options and that is mainly because of the bigger International Airport which offers direct flights in and out from most cities around the world so it's the perfect place to end your trip you can fly home directly from here as well as the fact that Maya Bay is on its doorstep one of the most beautiful and picturesque places you can visit in the world on your first day in pette we recommend obviously doing some beaching there are so many beaches along the western coast some of them are natong Beach Banana Beach Freedom Beach karoi yoi and katano all of which will be linked in our resource pack after the beach head up the mountain to see the big Buddha one of of the most popular spots here in pette from there you can end your day taking a stroll down one of the most famous or should we say Infamous streets in the whole world bangler Road here you'll find bars and nightclubs places to smoke Shisha do some drinking watch a pingpong show and a whole lot more on day 10 we're going to get up early and head to Kuran Viewpoint for views of almost the entire Island after that head to the very cute and colorful Oldtown to see out Pet's two favorite dishes their noodle dish called Hoy kin me or Mark Wayne's personal favorite Rotty and Curry we've listed a number of restaurants in our resource pack for you something definitely worth coming and doing here in pette is pette Oldtown it's incredibly cute it's so colorful every single building is a different color and this area holds so much history as well it was actually built up in the 1800s During the period when pette was mining tin there was lots of riches here lots of foreigners and immigrants coming here as well so they built these little cute ass houses and now it's a tourist attraction you can do lots of shopping and eating and exploring here it's so [Music] cute after Oldtown it's time to head to Rada Port which is just 10 minutes away to board a fairy bound to the islands we're off to CP you can book at the Port itself or make a booking on get your guide which is a little bit easier The Last Fairy for the day usually leaves the port at around 3:00 p.m. and it takes about 2 hours to get to PE PE once on the island we suggest you take a stroll around peee town or definitely head to the Viewpoint for Sunset it's so beautiful then for dinner eat chicken cow pad served in a pineapple it's a pretty iconic tie dish for dessert you could try one of these fried ice creams they're really good and then there'll be countless fire shows on the beach you can check out too how even get a Bamboo Tattoo which is a pretty iconic thing to do here if that's your [Music] jam on day 11 we're going to take a longtail boat tour to Maya Bay the most famous beach in Thailand this is the real reason you're here in pette you'll get some time to been on the beach and you'll get to see other sites such as monkey Beach viking cave and even do some snorkeling we've linked a bunch of boat tours available on gug guide but you can also book on the island itself we're up bright and early to head back to pette Mainland and honestly it's time to start mellowing out it's been a busy holiday our favorite place to do that is definitely cck National Park Park specifically at elephant Hills this was 100% a highlight of our trip if you book a stay with elephant Hills they'll fit you at Rada port and take you all the way to COK themselves we did a whole video of the experience you can watch it [Music] here that was so lovely I feel emotional 2 hours we were with these ellys for just feeding them them touching them watching them oh my gosh the sights we saw today and the sounds we heard with these elephants are so unique never ever seen or heard some of the things we just experienced so that was so beautiful look at these old ones behind me don't you think they the cutest after meeting the alies you'll get to float down over with your own guide eat wonderful food back at camp and most importantly relax in absolute Bliss the sounds of nature here are never next [Music] level for the last day of your trip you're going to head to Chow land Lake spend a whole day eating and relaxing sleep in a water Bungalow and really just mellow out if you want you can go on a little kayak around the lake or join for a forest walk and have the chance to spot some of the rare Gibbons that live in the area welcome to kok National Park this is Thailand's hidden gym not a lot of tourists
