where we stayed

We stayed at the Cozy Living and highly recommend it! It is situated in Old City, allowing you access and proximity to local attractions and sights

what we packed

Lightweight and breathable clothing, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent are essential, as well as a reusable water bottle for staying hydrated while exploring. Feel free to check out our amazon storefront!

how to get around

Tuk-tuks and songthaews (shared taxis) are popular for short distances, while renting a motorbike or scooter can give you more freedom to explore the city and its surroundings. Additionally, there are also red trucks, called "rot daeng," that operate as shared taxis along specific routes. Walking or cycling can also be a great way to experience the city at a slower pace.
