Thank you, good ideas i didn't think of. Have an new idea , will use Highway 4 (Phetkasem Road) as a guideline From Trang To Ranong. Updated Itinerary: • Fly from Bangkok to Hat Yai. • Hat Yai (including a trip to Songkhla). • Satun (including a trip to Pak Bara - Tarutao National Park ) • Trang (including a trip to Koh Muk). • Krabi Town (including a trip to Ao Nang). • Koh Yao Noi. (maybe) • Khao Sok National Park. • PhangNga • Khao Lak • Ranong • Chumphon. Back To Bangkok

Thank you for ideas already, found some new places. 🙂 Time of Year: • February to April (60 days, ending before Songkran). Travel Style: • Traveling alone. • Using local buses (and possibly trains) for intercity travel—preferably no more than 3 hours per ride. • No car or motorbike rentals. • A mix of “like a local” and “like a tourist” experiences. East Coast Considerations: • I’ve visited Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao several times before, so no need this time. • Unsure about Nakhon Si Thammarat—open to suggestions. Preliminary Itinerary: • Fly from Bangkok to Hat Yai. • Hat Yai (including a trip to Songkhla). • Satun (including a trip to Pak Bara - Tarutao National Park ) • Trang (including a trip to Koh Muk). • ? Phatthalung (worth stopping here?). • Krabi Town (including a trip to Ao Nang). • Koh Yao Noi. • Khao Sok National Park. • ? Phang Nga (open to ideas). • ? Surat Thani (not sure if it’s worth staying). • ? Chumphon. • Fly back to Bangkok. More tips welcome

I’m planning a 2-month trip to Southern Thailand, starting in Hat Yai. My goal is to explore authentic Thai culture, avoid overly touristy spots (e.g., Phuket), and experience the “real” Thailand. I’m also looking for budget-friendly islands to visit and would like to spend longer periods (around 2 weeks) in a few places to soak in the local vibe. Does anyone have recommendations for towns, islands, or lesser-known spots that fit this vibe? I’d also appreciate tips on long-stay accommodations or any hidden gems.

Chiang Mai

At propertyscout i can search for 1 month , like : https://propertyscout.co.th/en/bangkok/rentals/one-month/ I'm working on making a list of options. But it is not urgent, only for the beginning of next year. Just find out what is possible. Maybe this is an option for Bangkok: http://www.nanataisuites.com/ , close tot Nana BTS and Benchakitti Park as a backyard.

Thank you for the recommendations! @strikingsunset: I didn’t realize there are service apartments on Airbnb. I’ll definitely check out Airbnb for more options. @pdinbkk looks like a great resource. I like the property type filter, I’ll explore it further. Also, for Bangkok, I can adjust my budget to be a bit higher than 20,000 baht if needed. I appreciate your help! Here is another site I found : https://www.thaiwebsites.com/servicedapartmentssukhumvit.asp

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a service apartment similar to Smith Residence in Chiang Mai (https://chiangmaiapartment.com/), but in Bangkok, Koh Samui, or Pattaya/Chonburi. I plan to stay for one month at each location. My budget is between 15,000 and 20,000 baht per month. In Bangkok, I’d prefer a place close to the Skytrain. Ideally, the place should have a website for more information. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you!
