Right guys I need some help! My sister is getting wed in Koh Samui next Feb and I plan to tour round Thailand beforehand with a mate (both in our 20's). Was planning on bangkok - Chiang Rai - Chiang Mai - Koh Samui - Bangkok. I am booking at the things myself rather than through a tour agent and have Hotels lined up for those places once I have finalised dates.

But I am really not sure as to how much time to spend at each place, what might be worth doing inbetween if theres places people think are worth going to etc and activity's to do whilst there. I have got lost reading things and just cant picture where half the places are in relation to everywhere else so just getting fustrated with it now.

from bangkok to Koh Samui I have about 17 days to play with!

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the tips guys,

I had considered the DIY approach but slightly wery as my health is pretty poor at the moment, my crohns disease is ready to pounce at any moment and the added stress of trying to find somewhere when I'm feeling like st might not help, I had though of keeping a week unbooked but plan the rest (accommodation wise) and figure out what we wanna do once we get there, but not sure of how long we would want to spend in each place, would 3 days be enough for Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai? and I hadnt thought of exploring the islands down south to be honest, I was going to head straight down to Rockys (hotel) from Chiang Mai and have the week there for the wedding then return home.
