Thailand Solo Itinerary for One Month (Bangkok, Koh Taoh, Pai )

You either love Bangkok or hate it, I do love it indeed, its frenetic rhythm and chaotic harmony makes it dusty and charming.

I Stayed  at Ploy hostel in Phra Nakhon, I booked a double room for myself before arriving, price was fair with what the hostel is itself. I spent three nights at Ploy's, discovering and getting lost among hundreds of people in the noisy Kao san. You can find whatever you can think of in this place.

I spent the second half of my time in a quieter guesthouse called Suan Plhu, also cheaper an more comfy, I visited the main temples, and street markets, Chatuchak market is worth to go and have look, it's the biggest in South East Asia. 

As you walk around Bangkok you can feel that big city rush at all times, however the atmosphere, apart of the pollution, it's warm and welcoming.

From Bangkok I took a neverending train trip to Chumpon, from there I hopped on the ferry straight to Koh tao.

The island lives mainly from scuba diving tourism. There are plenty of diving centers to choose from, I found Pura Vida, great diving center, good instructors and immersions, there were spanish instructors so all the divers I met there were also spanish speakers.

The ocean its full of life there and I saw thousands of coulorfull fishes, and even black tip sharks.

Great experience!

I flew from Surat Thani on a very cheap flight to Chiang Mai, next day I took a Bus to Pai, where I spent also one night as it was only my starting point in my bike route heading south.

The scooter rental was cheap and I got a good deal for 14 days.

The roads where amazing crossing the deep thai jungle, you will find very modern roads in very good conditions and you´ll find the opposite. I didn´t see many tourists in this part of Thailand, I could meet a different face of the country.

Staying at people´s garden or eating with a Thai family was really interesting.
