Thailand was more than its postcard spots. We leaned into slower days, local corners and islands slightly off the map — and a layover quietly became the whole plan.

Practical Tips for Thailand
Getting Around
Grab (ride-hailing) is cheap and removes the haggling. For islands, book the boat+transfer combos — they’re smoother than arranging legs separately.
Temple Dress
Cover shoulders and knees at temples and the Grand Palace. Carry a light scarf; some sites turn you away otherwise.
Two Coasts, Two Seasons
The Andaman (west) and Gulf (east) coasts have opposite rainy seasons. Pick your islands to match the month.
