So unlike our whole trip thus far, our December in Thailand will be very different! Prior to leaving the UK we arranged with my family a month tour of Thailand, to tie in with Christmas & New Years. Its a place my parents had always wanted to travel so it made sense that they would come while we were here!
We organised & paid for a tour with a company called 'Destination Asia' . The tour is to start in the North of the Country (Chiang Mai) and take us through central areas, to the south and ending in the Islands in the Gulf of Thailand in time for Christmas. We then booked an additional 8 Nights over on Phuket for New Years before the family would then need to depart.
The tour is a luxury tour which all accommodation being 4/5 star. This is something we definitely are not used to, but will be a very welcomed break and i'm sure will feel more like a honeymoon....we do have to remind ourselves that's what we're here for...its easy to forgot we got married after the craziness of the past few months!!
This means...no googling for accommodation or things to do,,,as pretty much its all sorted for us! All we have to do is relax...it'll be lovely.
So the posts are likely to be less lengthy (maybe) and also will probably contain much less 'budget' travel tips...although we will try! But we will show you lots of tourist sights and give you some insights into the more luxurious travel in Thailand!
So shortly our little group of 2 will expand and become 5 for the whole of December...then 6 for Phuket, as my brothers girlfriend will arrive!! It'll be wierd, but I am so excited to see them and spend quality time with them in this beautiful country
But prior to their arrival, we have a few days exploring Chiang Rai which is the province North of Chiang Mai...we'll be sticking to our usual budget for this...So watch this space for the upcoming post!
Ciao!
