The Useful Rule
Dates often choose the coast.
Thailand's Gulf and Andaman sides follow different patterns. A traveler fixed on a particular month may get a better journey by changing islands rather than hoping the preferred postcard cooperates.
The Luxury Rule
Fewer transitions, better days.
Every additional region costs time, energy and a recovery window. Two or three complete chapters usually feel more luxurious than a map crowded with short stays.
