Where to stay for 7 nights as base to explore Thailand?
I have a 7 night Marriott Travel Certificate that I am thinking about using in Thailand around April or May of 2020. I've never been to Thailand and I'm having a hard time figuring out how best to approach this.
I'd like to spend some time on some nice beaches, but also have cultural sights within a reasonable travel distance (day trips). Preferably someplace that is not totally overrun with tourists. We don't have a problem trying to make our way in more local areas. However, we are limited by the hotel options and locations. It looks most are in or near Bangkok, Phuket or Ko Samui.
Can anyone suggest any areas we should focus our research on? Just a bit lost at this point.
Thank you!
