Hi folk, my girlfriend & I are travelling to Thailand for 2 months Aug-Sept 2023 - yes we will pop out to Laos or Cambodia for visa requirements. We have both been to Thailand several times & are planning this time to rent an apartment for 2-3 weeks during our stay. We're looking for village life with shops etc and of course a bar or 2. We've been to Phuket, Kancharaburi, Koh Mak, Kood, Chang mai, Hui Hin & Koh Samui.
Any ideas of a nice place bearing in mind we are in the shoulder season.
