If you are going to Bangkok -- which we absolutely loved let me know as I can give you quite a few tips

We went 2 years ago and I booked everything independently. Just book a flight to Bangkok and have a couple of days there. We then flew to Surat Thani and had 3nights in the rainforest. Used bus service to Krabi, another few days there and then got a boat to Koh Lanta. Had 5 days there and then back to Bangkok to stock up on cheap goods. Had a great time and everything is so easy to organise.

imho

I loved bangkok as well ,so clean and so safe to walk around , and shopping is wonderful. If you stay in bangkok for a few days you will meet other travelers,most people go to the islands.I went to Puckett ,very nice but so expensive.

That's not really accurate. You aren't likely to meet other travellers at all, unless you stay in Banglumphu.

I was going to stay out of this thread.

imho

Donnie But i met loads of travelers in bangkok ! and then i went to puckett on the bus and the bus was full of travelers going to different places mainly the islands .

Donnie

Where, per chance, did you meet them in Bangkok? Khaosan Road area in Banglumphu? Bus station? Train station?
Why have you created a link to my profile?

Well, I met some travellers in Bangkok,
In Suzie Wongs on Soi Cowboy, lol

Donnie

So, there we have it.... Suzie Wongs on Soi Cowboy is the place to go to meet other travellers.

imho

Donnie I met loads in Khaosan Road area.Why is that so unusual to you ? Like i said the bus was full of travelers going mainly to the islands. I have friends in bangkok at the moment ,some are just starting to travel and 2 are on their way back to UK when they done some shopping .

Hmmmm.....Where is the Khaosan Road? Yes, it is in Banglumphu. :rolleyes:

Seriously, as I wrote before, if it is part of one's plans is to meet other travellers in Bangkok, head for Banglumphu.
You'll be hard pushed to find many anywhere else.
