Suggestions for Honeymoon in September

Jock,
You're welcome. Never been to Krabi, though i've been to Phuket twice in the last 4 years. Easy enough reached from Phuket. I'm not sure i would base myself in any one place for 2 weeks. I spent 10 days on Phuket on my first visit and it was too long. It's a lovely place, the main nightlife centre is in Patong, buzzing at night, a few seedy streets but normal. I stayed twice in Karon beach, about a 10-15 minute tuk-tuk ride away south of Patong. A lot quieter,you'll come to Patong for the night life for sure, beach nice. A 10 minute walk down the road brings you to Kata beach, fantastic beach, beautifully clean water, safe for swimming. Lovely.
Would recommend a trip to Phuket, lots to do, lots of boat trips to take to Phi Phi islands, fishing, scuba,snorkelling etc etc

Kho Samui is worth a few days if you get a chance, marketed now as a honeymoon destination, nice and relaxing.

have you thought about a few days up North? I spent a while in Chiang Mai, got a cheap flight with AirAsia, nice city, fantastic scenery and makes a nice change from chaotic Bangkok and the beaches

Think our travel agent put the OH off Phuket! (Although I'm sure it's probably not fair to tar the entire area with the same brush, but...)
We're looking at Koh Samui as well as Krabi after Bankok, and personally I can't see a whole lot of difference between them in the brochures & guides. Krabi is maybe less developed, quieter beaches? Not sure.
The north looks fascinating indeed, but don't want to spend this holiday living out the suitcase too much. But I'm sure we'll visit Thailand again if this trip goes well, and the north would certainly be in our plans.
Thanks again, and I may pester you further if you don't mind!
 
Jock,
No problem at all! glad I was of some help to you.

Have a safe trip and take care
 
There is a shopping centre in Bangkok which specialises in electrical equipement (Not MBK) 3 or 4 floors of everything electrical (pc's cameras etc.) I can't remember the name but any Hotel will be able to advise you.
Remember to only buy items that have an international guarantee (in my case I was buying a video camera, they had all the brands, but only Panasonic were offering an international guarantee. I infact ended up buy the camera at Bangkok airport for the same price as the city.

Thanks for all your advice.
We're booked now for 3 nights in Bangkok then 2 weeks in Koh Samui.
Got it with flights from Dublin -Paris-Bangkok for the same price as Kuoni wanted from London, so saved a handy few bob there.
I'm sure my OH will put the savings to good use in the markets!

thanks again
 
Jock and Jason,
you're welcome, glad I could be of some help,

safe travelling, all the best
 
Thedoc, my wife with the better memory confirms that it was Pantip Plaza. Quiet an experience for tech heads !!!
 
So after much debate, followed the heart and not the head and decided to head to Australia for a month, with a 2 night stop off in Bangkok on the way. Flying into Sydney and going to do the east coast run as far as Cairns.
Thanks for all the help and advice everyone. I did heed it but kinda decided it was the only time we'd make it as far as Oz, (a lifelong dream of herself).
