I need a little help from my SE Asia experts!
My family is planning to join me in Thailand for Christmas and we are trying to figure out where in Thailand would best suit my family.Background- my mom is NOT a traveler, and my whole family has practically never left the country.. It is a big deal for my mom to be flying abroad regardless, so I don’t want to push her too hard her first time in Thailand.
Ideally, she would want to be in a place that she can relax on a beach, eat fruit, and have a proper holiday. She threw out the (most touristy) idea of Phuket, but there HAS to be another option of where to go that has similar things to what Phuket used to be before they realized tourists will pay American prices $$$, before it became flooded with people, and before it lost its Thai-ness.
Any suggestions taking all of my family high-maintenanceness into consideration? đ
Thanks!!!

I can see this you know…?
I think Phuket & Koh Samui would both be ideal locations. They are a bit touristy, but they also have beautiful beaches, are laid back, have amazing food, some cool temples, and you can still find some decent accommodations deals there.
as a side tip, when we went to those islands I called and / or emailed the hotels directly that we wanted to stay in, and I was always able to find a hotel that was willing to negotiate for a much reduced rate.
@libby Ko Samui??
