I consider the motivation behind what someone else says, but he's concerned.
Thanks for the suggestion for Doi Tung! I just posted our possible, sketchy itinerary over in the Thailand forum, but I'm sure we'll spend time in Chiang Mai.
Thanks again!
I see. I will say that when I was planning my trip last year the travel agent didn't book my hotels quickly enough and a couple of my choices were already full a couple months ahead and they had to scramble a little to get some alternatives.
But I am guessing that Feb/March is probably not be as busy a season like January might be. If I were you I wouldn't start freaking out yet but i would definitely want to be in contact with an agency who you think you will potentially work with and let them let you know how soon you need to be making plans. As I mentioned before I ended up with EPG Travel. You might want to drop them a line to see what they say.
