Hey, my family is going to Thailand for two weeks this summer.
Our plan is to...
1st fly into Bangkok. Stay there for about 5-6 days. Well, actually stay in chon buri with relatives for half the time.
2nd fly down south to the beaches. Stay in phuket for 1 or 2 nights, but stay in koh samui for maybe 4.
3rd go to kuala lampur, malaysia for a while and then singapore, which we will fly out of.
My parents are very adventurous and my mom is from Thailand (but has not been there in 15 years) so I know we will see much more than just the touristy spots. My concern is that I will not have enough time to adapt to Thailand to enjoy it because I can speak only a little Thai and am illiterate in it; I have never been to an Asian country before.
My questions are
1) should i take any steps to learn more Thai before going there? My mom says I will learn by being there and hearing things and asking her questions.
2) Is two weeks really enough time?
3) How does our plan sound? Any suggestions?
I know the number of days don't add up yet. This is just how much time we want to spend AT LEAST.
