Thailand is filled with AMAZING temples. Even if you're not really into sightseeing/exploring religious wonders, you must at least visit THREE of these! This guide includes temples in: Pattaya Ayutthaya Bangkok Chiang Mai Chiang Rai Phuket Krabi Tips: #1 Cover your knees and shoulders. Keep a scarf/cardigan or anything to do that. If your knees and shoulders are not covered, you will end up renting sarongs from each temple you visit (waste of money and time). #2 In temples, you remove your shoes to enter. Keep a pair of socks with you if you're wearing sandals to quickly pop them on. #3 Stay hydrated! Some temples will have water tanks where you can refill your water bottles.

3 separate families including 6 parents and 8 teenage children embark on a trip of a lifetime to exotic Thailand for two weeks. Will amazing food be eaten? Amazing sights seen? Will drama ensue? This itinerary purposely has us staying in each spot for a minimum of 3 days so as to minimize travel hassles etc. To us it was a great Thailand 101 and there were lots of activities to keep us busy and also good chill time. If we had extra time and more ability to move around we would add Koh Samui and Angkor Watt in Cambodia to the itinerary. This itinerary includes where to stay and eat and what to do. Hotels in this itinerary are upper tier, not quite luxury (with the exception of Bankgok) but still very nice.
