My wife is 4 months pregnant and we want to do one last vacation before it's too late (although it might be too late for that already!). We're taking 2 weeks off in the middle of April, and Thailand is one of the last couple of destinations we're looking at, and I wanted some feedback from those who know it best!
I know there are several places to stay, so I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. It MUST have fantastic snorkeling (my wife will snorkel while I dive), and other things --- we want to tour temples, go through jungles, ride an elephant, sit on the beach, etc. We want to stay someplace cheap, no more than $50 US a night, preferably cheaper. We'll be staying for about a week (we're looking at splitting our time between Taiwan and Thailand at this point, but would appreciate input).
I guess my basic question is where should I start? What cities, websites, hotels, dive places? Is April even a good time to go? And my other question is will there be enough to keep us busy for a week? Two weeks? Keeping in mind that we won't be able to dive all day every day because of the baby. Thanks for any input, I'll check back soon!
