Thailand was our home for about three months, from November to February: three weeks in Chiang Mai during the lantern festivals, the temples of Chiang Rai, more than a month between Bangkok and the north, a Christmas on the beach in Koh Samui, 16 nights on Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and ten days on jungle-covered Koh Kood. For us, it is a synonym for temples, smiles and paradise beaches. This guide to things to do in Thailand<\/strong> brings together what we explored, the practical information we checked against official sources (including the September 2026 visa changes) and links to each of our guides.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbads IATI primeros parrafos 5off (2026) – EN\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.27.8″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_module=\u00bb15677″ saved_tabs=\u00bball\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]\n
