An independent guide to Thailand, planned the way you actually travel
ThailandHop is an editorial travel guide to Thailand — Bangkok and the north around Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Pai; the Andaman and Gulf islands and beaches; the heritage cities of Ayutthaya, Sukhothai and Kanchanaburi; the national parks; and the food, temples, hotels, ferries and trains that connect them. We organise it the way a trip actually comes together — by region, by route, by season and by travel style — because that is the order the decisions arrive in. We write for people planning a real trip: first-timers with two weeks, island-hoppers chasing the right coast for the month, families weighing a ferry against a flight.
We are independent. We are not affiliated with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, any provincial authority, or any hotel, airline or boat operator we write about, and we take no commission on the places we recommend. When we point you to a detail that changes — a ferry season, a train timetable, a visa rule, a festival date — we tell you to confirm it at the official source rather than freeze a figure that will mislead you next month.
Who writes it
Guides are written, edited and maintained by The ThailandHop editorial team, not a single named individual. Compiled and maintained by the ThailandHop editorial team from official sources and public data. A review date appears only after that page has been checked. We don't accept payment for inclusion.
We would rather tell you to take the first long-tail to Railay before the day-trippers arrive, or to time the islands to the coast that's dry that month, than march you through a checklist. If something here is out of date, or you know a som tam stall, a quiet cove or a better overnight train we've missed, we'd genuinely like to hear it.
