All our Thailand guides tagged day trips.
A calmer, more established beach town two to three hours from Bangkok, built around a royal summer palace, a long beach, golf courses and an easy train ride rather than a party scene.
A canalside market that only really runs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, with grilled seafood cooked straight from the boats and firefly tours after dark.
The former capital an hour north of Bangkok: which three temple ruins are essential, the head in the tree roots, how to get there by train or boat, and why to go early.
Not all of them are for tourists: the famous one that is largely staged, the markets locals actually shop at, what the boat ride really costs, and how to avoid the worst version of this day.
West of Bangkok: the bridge over the River Kwai and the museums that give it meaning, the war cemeteries, the seven-tier waterfall, and whether it works as a day trip or needs a night.
Your complete Chiang Mai guide: the old city temples, the famous night bazaar, ethical elephant sanctuaries, the best day trips, and where to eat khao soi in northern Thailand.
