Those with a penchant for 1920s typography (or those equally keen on quaint BnBs with an interesting back-story) will love this accommodation/mini-museum of publishing. The eight-bedroom hotel is both a luxurious place to rest your weary head and a fascinating ode to the owner’s family publishing business.

This market ticks all the travel boxes: good food, a genuine local experience, quirky shopping, and the chance for a foot massage (those feet must be weary by now). And best of all, you’ll be noshing on fresh seafood and Som Tum cooked by locals in a small wooden boat. Operating every Saturday and Sunday morning, the 12km journey from Bangkok is worth the travel.

Hankering for some creative inspiration? The ChangChui Creative Space has it in spades. An enormous disused aeroplane (that is sometimes opened up for very special occasions) is the eye-catching centrepiece in the middle of the 27,000sqm park. Food and drink options are aplenty and help keep energy levels high as you wander down the rabbit hole of creative fascinations that make up this wonderland.

When you picture secluded islands with lush greenery that meets white, sandy beaches and clear blue water, it’s likely you’re thinking of the Phi Phi Islands. Charter a boat with a group of friends or take the fast ferry from Phuket. Stop in for a splash or a snorkel at Maya Bay or Koh Khai Nai. The water in Pileh Lagoon is said to be ‘warm as bath water’ (depending on the season, of course).
