Pattaya felt like the weakest stop on this route, a bit too touristy for my taste. Krabi and the islands afterward more than made up for it though.
Grand Palace was gorgeous but the security queue ran almost two hours under full Bangkok sun with zero shade. By the time we got inside I was too exhausted to enjoy Wat Arun properly right after. Would suggest going first thing at opening instead of mid-morning like we did. Still glad I saw it, just plan for the heat.
Wat Arun at golden hour was worth the early alarm. Intricate carvings up close are something photos never quite capture.
Chinatown in Bangkok after dark, solo, noodles in hand - exactly the chaos I travel for.
Ten nights solo across Pattaya, Krabi, Phuket and Bangkok and the pacing was spot on. Phang Nga Bay kayaking through the hidden caves was the morning that stayed with me, the guide patient with a nervous first-timer and the lagoons feeling genuinely untouched. Came home already plotting the next Thailand trip.
Booked this alone after a rough year and it turned into exactly the reset I needed. Phuket's sunsets alone made the whole trip worth it.
