Quick answers
How many days do I need for Thailand?
Five to six nights covers Bangkok and Pattaya, or Phuket and Krabi. Seven to nine nights lets you combine a city, a beach and an island trip.
Which is better, Phuket or Krabi?
Phuket has more hotels, nightlife and shows; Krabi is quieter and more scenic with easy island trips from Ao Nang. Many travellers do both: they are about 3 hours apart by road.
What should I wear to temples?
Cover shoulders and knees, men and women alike. Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.
