MaciejKlimowicz Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hello, 4 days off this week. Can you share some ideas for long weekend destinations out of Bangkok? So far I enjoyed trips to Hua Hin, Koh Si Chang, Khao Yay, Kanchanaburi, Amphawa, Pattaya and Ayutthaya. All very nice and easy escapes.Any other suggestions? I wanted to try Koh Samet but I've read that it gets packed on long weekend and prices go sky high. best, Mac ps. not sure if I'm posting in the right forum. If travel in Thailand is better than sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallorca284673 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Hi Yes, Koh Samed over long weekend holidays gets quite busy with thai visitors escaping the rains of the city, Your right hotel / guesthouse prices are slightly inflated over holiday weekends. Check out this good site for accurate info: http://kohsamed.net you'll still have a good time on the island & the weather has been great.

gk10002000 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Go to Mo Chit Bus Station and take the bus up to Sukhothai. Very pretty and easy 6 hour bus ride with a stop halfway for lunch. The ruins up there are really really pretty. Alll green and quiet. Lots of ponds and water around the ruins. town is quiet. lodging is cheap. Spend a day or two there, then maybe go over to Phitsanalouk. I have not been there. I only stayed in Sukhothai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Everywhere will be busy on a long weekend. If you haven't booked ahead at any "get-away" places, good luck finding a room. Thai's also love to get away with their 20 person families and completely pack these places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kifalo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Khao Yai is great for a get away. But all depends if you want the beach or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
