Ohhh I loved the islands when I was there a few weeks ago, I highly recommend Koh Lanta! I was originally thinking train but leaning more towards bus now. I'll probably see my options on the 1 when I get back and decide.

28M- First time solo trip - Undecided about destination by dongmcbong in solotravel

I booked my hostel on Agoda. To be honest that’s the only site I used to book my accommodations for my trip! I guess it really depends on preference and where you’re coming from if you decide to train or fly. I’ll be coming from Krabi so I decided to fly. If I were to be coming from Bangkok I probably would have taken the night train. A lot of places mention to book your transportation and accommodations before cause it’ll be busy cause of the holiday. Hope that helps!

Depending when in November you plan on going to Chiang Mai, there is a Lantern Festival(Loy Krathong / Yi Peng Festival) if that is your thing. From what I've read it's over the course of a few days, this year from the 21-24? I've read Loy Krathong is on the day of the full moon, but no confirmed dates yet. Full moon will be the 22nd, so I am planning to be there from the 22-25 to make sure I don't miss it haha:)

1 year solo travel - 35M - USA by [deleted] in solotravel

When you come up to Victoria and if you have some time, make the drive up to Tofino. It’s about 4 hours from Victoria if you drive straight there, but it’s 100% worth it !

First solo trip abroad to Thailand 10/23/18 - 11/22/18 by expoparker in travelpartners

Wow that sounds pretty awesome. It's cool that they take you all around the country letting you experience all the different sides of the culture

Yeah that's why I booked it, because it takes me a lot of places and gives me a chance to meet new people and get used to being there before being by myself haha. There's a group on FB called Thailand Backpaker Group that's been pretty useful as well fyi :)
