Things to do in Thailand, no research required

South to the coast or north into the hills, with the capital in the middle: this covers the whole shape of a Thailand trip. The capital brings the temples and the street-food density. The coastal town adds a cafe and nightlife scene that outruns its reputation. The northern city rounds it out with cooking schools and the slower pace of an old walled town. Breakfast spots and bars run deep in all three, so mornings and evenings are covered wherever you land.
