So, we had planned through Koh Tao before we left, then we planned Khao Sok. But then we were so busy on boats and staring at the scenery that we didn’t really stay ahead of things. We had thought we would to go to Khao Lak, but the lodging choices got pretty grim and we just took it as a sign from the universe to go somewhere else. A couple travelers in Khao Sok liked Phuket so we tried there. Bigger city, more options. We still got a place with no sidewalks so we couldn’t really walk unless we took a Grab to another part of town. We really like wandering in a new place, so it felt a bit constricting. But there was a pool for when you get home.
