After spending two weeks traveling this December and spending loads of rupees, we will only have 7 days to take in all the wonders of Thailand. Unfortunately, because we are going on a vacation prior, money is an object. We will be landing in Bangkok and the original plan was to head south and spend Christmas relaxing on the beach in Krabi--canoeing, snorkeling, etc. However, after doing more research we now realize Thailand is more than just beautiful beaches. Now, because of the time and money constraints, we will have to choose between the beautiful southern beaches or the northern jungles.
We are two guys in our twenties, athletic and adventurous, who love nature and are not much for partying. We are looking to experience the culture, beauty, religion, and amazing food of this great country--on a backpacker's budget (though we can splurge for the right occasion). But most importantly, we want to get the most of our time in Thailand, as I have yet to vacation to the same country twice!
