How many days for a Thailand trip?

[Conan The Barbarian]

also if anyone could suggest to me places which are locally known in Thailand I don't really wanna go to crowded places looking for peace of mind for a while.

Pattaya.

[treetops]

23 days.

[KhunLA]

179 days

3 weeks. It needs to lose some of the sheen for you. 

[Skeptic7]

2 weeks minimum. It's low season now, which helps...but hardly ever seems it in BKK & Pattaya. GOOGLE some of the quiet "kohs" (islands). Chiang Mai is always excellent. Chiang Rai, Mae Hongson. Avoid Phuket...at least Patong Beach. Krabi is a possibility. Kanchanaburi also...depending on the topography you prefer.

Soi 6/1 Pattaya would be right up your alley.

Make a decision! 🙄

30 days visa exempt.

 

For a beach try somewhere around Rayong. Plenty to choose from.

Quiet peaceful town Kampeng Phet. Lots of historical ruins and walks.

Need more info on your likes/dislikes as Thailand has a multitude of various types of environment.  Mountains, waterfalls, beaches, islands clear/unclear water, accessability (some motorbike only in remote areas), Bangkok night life or Pattaya bars, Bangkok shopping, tours of temples...etc  advise, then we can tailor a trip (length) and various acty you seem to enjoy.

How about a little village somewhere up country. Definitely not crowded.

And you will have lots of opportunities to speak Thai, or the local dialect.

Up country. Google found it for me.

Somewhere quiet?

 

You'll end bored as hell.

 

First time, a month.

 

Bangkok (3 days),Pattaya(21 days), and a short visit to Koh Chang(5 days).

 

Despite what some may say,Pattaya is a blast and I know many people who have dreaded leaving, only to extend there stay.

 

Bring plenty of money, Thailand isn't cheap!  At least 100.00 US daily not including hotel if you want to enjoy your holiday.

For a little respite from the constant noise, heavy traffic in Pattaya, try Jomtien Beach area.  Touristy but without the constant noise/traffic issues as Pattaya.  For an even more casual time go to Bang Saray, a little further down the coast but far less traffic/noise.  If you want relaxing definitely avoid Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket.  In the north, Mae Hong Son, Phai (Pai maybe), add a few touristy sightseeing places and you have Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.  As said earlier, Thailand is not as cheap as it once was especially if your food choices are primarily western style.  Thai foods are less expensive and tasty although some may be a little spicy for your taste.  Koh Chang was mentioned, a pretty popular place with the Russians at this time. Koh Larn off of Pattaya area busy, nice beaches.  Kao Lak might also be a good choice.  And, to give a little leeway to get more familiar with Thailand and what it has to offer (there's a lot), 30 days and possibly a 30 day extension could make a nice trip funds permitting.  If you go to Jomtien, check out the restaurant on beach road next to the 7/11 at the corner of Soi 9 on beach road.  Everyone goes there as a customer and leaves as a friend.

Addition and correct spacing.

Jomtien Beach is well worth avoiding at the moment, they are digging beach road up, dust and noise

There is no need to be rude to other posters. One post removed.

[khunPer]

3 months if you are backpacker...

Anywhere in TH, 5 minutes away from the last 7-11, or right behind it 

 

Some folks really do need to leave the bar stool.  Not directed at ravip, but to whom ever who think BKK, Patts, HH & CM metro is TH.

 

Winding up a loop around the North, short, but very nice; landscapes & coffee shops 

 

Straight up R&R from that stressful retirement

If you have time I’d say 3 weeks. Ordinarily, tourists spend 2 weeks. When my niece came, met her in Bangkok and took her around the usual, Grand Palace, wat Arun, wat Pho. River trip to Ayuthaya for a day. Then flew to Chiang Mai, more temples ,  the White  temple and Doi Inthanon.  2 days in Sukhothai which was the most appreciated. Flew to Phuket . Then went to Krabi and Railay beach. 
Then to Koh Chang for the best swimming, islands snorkeling , great seafood on the beach, lots of long nature walks.and National park. She loved it there. I’ve spent a lot of time there, love it. And no crowds no big hotels and chill. 
We went direct from there to the airport by local taxi. Great service.

 If you want real answers you need to be more specific.

Get yourself a rental car, find a friend (female), drive, drive, drive. 

 

Hotels are cheap, travel around, nothing will disappoint you, just steer clear of some of the foreigners.
