Thailand's planning trick is the two-coast season split: the Andaman (Phuket, Krabi) is dry November–April, the Gulf (Samui) January–September — there is always a dry island. An AI Thailand planner routes by the month you travel, not by a generic list.
Feed the planner Bangkok as the anchor with your dates, and it sequences the temples at opening, the markets after dark, the internal flight south, and the island days — at $50–70/day planning figures.
Destination, dates, travel style, interests and budget — one form, one click, one day-by-day plan you can keep refining.
Plan your Bangkok trip with AI →The planner's island recommendation follows your dates: Andaman islands for November–April trips, Gulf islands for January–September. The internal flight ($30–60) is scheduled as the intermission between city and beach acts.
Generate, adjust, regenerate. The beach-leg length is the honest trade: city days fund island days. Two or three rounds converge.
Cultural for the temple-weighted shape; foodie for the eating-first days; relaxed for the island-heavy version. The heat-management rhythm (temples early, malls midday, markets late) applies to every style.
Bangkok ~$50/day, Chiang Mai ~$45, islands ~$65 at planning figures — street food at $1–3 and massages at $10 keep the floor low.
The season decides: Andaman (Phuket, Krabi) for November–April; Gulf (Samui) for January–September.
A week does Bangkok plus one region; ten does the city-north-islands arc.
It can — add the history interest and the planner schedules the ruins day trip by train.
Yes — per-day planning figures in baht, honest about the street-food floor and the island premium.
Start from a Bangkok plan or any destination you have in mind — the itinerary adapts to your inputs.
