Hello there!! I’ve been watching your videos since a long and I am planning a Thailand trip on my own. This is gonna be my first solo international trip and I hope you can help me with few questions. I am planning to book tickets from 9th-20th June , and I need to know if it is worth to travel in June? Will there be rain? I want to cover Phuket - koh phangan- khao sok - krabi - Ao nang - phi phi island Is 10days enough? And how much will it cost?
Hey Polo, June is nice to visit, but the weather is iffy. If you are lucky, you can get a week of sunshine, or a week of rain. It's definitely rainy season here, so you will see some for sure. That itinerary sounds very loaded for 10 days. Is it possible? Maybe, but you will not enjoy it. I would do it like this: land in Phuket, spend a day or two here exploring the island and take some day trips from here. You can visit Khao Sok, Phanga Bay, James Bond Island. Then you can make a day trip to Phi Phi and other places around here. If you want to visit Krabi as well, you can take a bus there or a boat. I would skip Koh Phangan and leave it for another trip, because its too far away. Do Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Phangan in another 10 day trip when you come back. As far as cost, it depends on your preference and budget. Use the app Agoda for booking hotels, Grab for food and taxi and 12GoAsia for boat trips.
So I work remotely as a video game artist, would be perfect for me, however my wife does eyelashes and hair extensions, so that poses a problem. We were looking at Phuket and I’m thinking she would have to do something along the lines of this Amazon thing.
You guys should try a vacation here and see how you like it. You can definitely work remotely from Phuket, the internet is excellent. For your wife, she can do that here as well. Opening a salon is complicated with Thai labor laws, but finding clients directly on Facebook groups and forums and doing extensions at their homes would work great here.
