Planning a 2 week Thailand itinerary as an independent traveller and looking for routes and suggestions?

You are probably wondering what to see in in Thailand in 14 days and the best places to go during your time here. Having lived in Thailand for many years, I have personally travelled many of the below routes with visitors or solo. When planning your 14 day Thailand itinerary, I recommend considering:

•  Where you are flying into – most likely Bangkok or Phuket
• Thailand island hopping routes
• Southern Thailand 2 week Itinerary – more for beach lovers
• Northern Thailand route 2 week itinerary – more for hikers and mountain lovers

For a 3 week Thailand itinerary read this article here,  or for one week in Thailand read here.
