Heading to Singapore and Thailand for a couple of weeks later in the year. I've got 4 days in Singapore and about a week and a half in Thailand. Seems to have fortuitously fallen so we can go to Chiang Mai during Ye Peng and Loy Krathong Festival (below)
It means we have 8 days to spread between Bangkok and a beach.
It's a well trodden path, so is anyone able to recommend a beach resort? Looking for relative luxury on a mid level budget. I.e. not hostel, but not several hundreds of pounds per night either.
