Where should i travel and do around thailand???

[Jaycomet]

My actual plan was to visit Philippines, but I will wait upto 3 months for philippine to open so I could travel there

 

But if Philippines dosent open within that timeframe then I would just visit Thailand for my holiday

 

I just want to know if there is a city or place in Thailand that is similar to phil(I doubt it)

 

Or where abouts should I travel around Thailand and what should I try out???

 

Im not interested in bars, etc

 

I am a newbie to Thailand

Winter is just kicking off so go up the mountain towns in Northern Thailand. That's my favorite at least.

Thailand has mountain views,  Seascape vistas,  city intensity and everything in between.  The choice is yours, plenty of info on the net

[HappyExpat57]

You need to be more specific. What was it you were looking to do in the PI?

[CharlieH]

One mans food is another mans poison !

It all depends on what you enjoy doing.

 

Try stating what you enjoy and people can point you in that direction. Pointless recommending islands etc if you dont like beaches, as an example.

[Kwasaki]

Do you need help with other things too. 

[Ghazza]

Since your initial plan was from PH and PH are more on islands, maybe you can try traveling to beaches but just like previous replies better be specific with your interests.

[bbko]

How long do you plan on staying? 

As mentioned plenty of info on the internet, you want beaches? Head to the southern parts.  You want mountains? Head to the Northern parts.  You want bars/nightlife?  Head to Pattaya/Bangkok.

You have a long holiday?  Do some in-country traveling and visit several locations.

I can't see anywhere in Philippines being better than Thailand. At least Thailand is safe, for a start, but as said, it depends what you like doing. Thai beaches and nightlife is far far better for a start..

Curious as to what you would consider similar to PI. What does PI have that you like? Can't answer your question until you explain that.

Another one not interested in bars, lol. I would have shot myself years back living here without frequenting bars as and when I fancy. Enjoy the temples and the erh....yea whatever.

I always felt safe in PI, even when walking through the barrio from the airport to the bus station in the early house of the morning. All the old chap would be sitting outside their shanty smoking in the night, as I walk past they would call out "good morning sir", and I would wave and say good morning back.

 

Beaches were all way better than Thailand, didn't seem to have sand flies either.

Baloy Long Beach, nightlife was also amazing, small beer $1-$2/bottle in many naughty clubs and bars.

He is not interested in bars !  Ok get that out the way .  If you come up to the north be sure to bring a coat and hat if going out anywhere at night , its cold up here before 10 am and after 7 pm. I still have a dressing gown, shorts and T shirt on and its now 10.30 am. Nice to get the contrast . Summer a/c and now a blanket and quilt at night.
