Creating a well-planned Thailand tour itinerary has the potential to lead to an unforgettable trip. But, there are many small details that need to be considered in the itinerary building process. Let's take a look at a few things to consider when planning the Thailand tours:

When to visit
Not every traveller has a flexible travel schedule and will only be able to visit at certain times of the year. For many, the peak travel time is between November and March. At this time of year the temperature is cool and pleasant and more comfortable for sightseeing. But, this does have the downside of high crowds and higher prices for accommodation and excursions.

If travel is possible later in the year, say July to October, the tourist crowds and much less and there is a real opportunity to get great prices on hotel stays. While this is the rainy season, the ability to travel in Thailand at this time isn't too problematic, especially in the north, north-eastern and central regions which have plenty of things to see and do. However, it will be advisable to stay clear of the islands at this time.

Also, for travellers not keen on the intense heat of the region, the months of April, May and June are the hottest, and may not be the best time to visit Thailand if heat isn't your friend.

Organise excursions
Thailand gives solo, group and family travellers plenty of opportunities to get involved in excursions all over the country. The north of the country is great for mouth-watering cooking classes, animal sanctuaries, snorkelling, and diving, while the south is favoured for its island hopping, snorkelling and diving excursions. Any Thailand tour itinerary filled with excursions and plenty of other activities is likely to create the more noteworthy and memorable trip.

Eat the local spicy dishes
Eat the local Thai cuisine for the most authentic travel experience. Avoid the local international dishes that are widely served, but so easy to buy when you get home.

Also, if you are trying out the street food scene, a simple rule to follow is to look at the crowd. If you see a particular stall or vendor is very busy, they are very likely to be serving the top quality dishes that are not only delicious, but also hygienically prepared.

Planning ahead
The transportation used on arrival in Thailand is certain to have an impact on planning and booking ahead of time. For instance, travellers on the Thailand tour packages that intend to get around by air should book tickets as early as possible to save money. However, it is worth noting that air travel in Thailand is relatively inexpensive with a booking made on the day of travel still available at under $100. Alternatively, the local train or bus service is a great option to city-hop. If you have a choice between the night buses and overnight trains, the trains are certain to give the most luxurious travel experience. Also, the bus is a practical option to travel between cities that are only one or two hours apart, and tickets available at incredibly low prices.

Where to go
Thailand has plenty of must-visit cities which can make creating the epic itinerary that much more difficult. Let's take a look at the most fascinating and memorable cities to visit on the Thailand travel:

Bangkok – the capital is a major entry point for the majority of travellers to Thailand, which makes a perfect place to appreciate the region's diverse cuisine, epic shopping malls and stunning temples. Also, there is the lively nightlife with plenty of clubs and sky bars to visit in the evenings.

Chiang Mai – a trip to Chiang Mai is certain to appeal to the nature lovers. It is perfect for the trekking tours, visiting an elephant sanctuary, zip-lining through the jungle, white-water rafting, or exploring the Lanna temples.

Krabi – located in the south of Thailand, this southern province offers the wonderful sight of clear blue waters and rising limestone cliffs. This is a fascinating place to visit for anyone interested in rock climbing, taking photographs of the stunning scenery, and those looking to relax on a good beach.

Sukhothai – an ancient city to explore is Sukhothai, which is filled with temples that date from the 13th to 15th century. It is easily explored on an independent excursion and the best way to see the many temples is to hire a bicycle for the day.

Stay with a flexible itinerary
