It's good to know that all places will be touristy, and that it may not be a big deal after all. Also, we do plan on spending about a week in Chiang Mai and a week or so in Bangkok. Hopefully we'll meet some people in the north who will impart some more local advice, and if all else fails, we'll just put all the beaches' names in a hat, and pull one out!

If you want something a little less crowded, he recommended heading north Chiang Mai. It's inland but on a river and is supposed to be nice. .-= Courtney´s last blog ..<a href="http://courtneywalker.blogspot.com/2008/04/times-they-are-changin.html" rel="nofollow">The times, they are a-changin'</a> =-.

My experience was Jun/July 8 yrs ago in Ko Samui (the honeymooner's island; lots of resorts) & Koh Tao. LOVED koh tao, especially because of the great scuba diving. If you are not into that, you may have a tough time finding a place there as most places are tied to the dive shops. You may want to check out Ko Lanta in the far South West. Amazing beaches from what I've heard and not as busy as Ko Phi Phi to the north. Depends which side of Thailand is “rainy season” right now. can’t recall but check it out.

I have to admit that after reading his posts and seeing his pictures, I wanted to fly out to Thailand myself. http://blog.friday-nite.com/?tag=thailand Here’s a link to a blog I followed of a fellow who visited Thailand last February.
