Looking at Easter 2008
Bangkok - how many days?
Chiang Mai - for the water festival/ trips/ elephants, etc. - how many days?
.......then a beach to relax on for 5/6/7 days - where would you recommend?
There will be me, the missus and 14 yr old daughter.
Sorry - one final question - I like doing DIY - would the above be cheaper doing DIY than with a holiday company?
Thanks.

I have been to alot of the islands in Thailand, also to Bangkok several times.
I would suggest 3/4 nights in Bangkok,
7 nights in chiang mai, and then a beach for 7 nights.
Krabi is very nice, ao nang area has some lovely islands you can go to,and beautiful scenery. Your daughter would enjoy looking around all the little stalls and shops in the evenings, and there are lots of restaurants to choose from.
It would definaitly be cheaper to diy, look on asiarooms for hotels. This site sometimes gets bad reviews, but i have booked on here lots of times,never had any problems at all,just got what i wanted, great hotels at good prices.
In Bangkok,the marriott and spa is a excellant hotel, right on the river, lovely rooms,and very spacious pooland garden area. superb buffet breakfasts as well.
Have fun

In Bangkok it might be worth considering serviced apartments as an alternative to a hotel, this way you could get a two bed-roomed apartment for the price of a hotel room...and still gets all the services you'd expect from a hotel.
When we have done three centres we have put Chiang-Mai at the start of the holiday, beach in the middle and Bangkok at the end
Incidentally Premier holidays will do accommodation only and they usually include the incentives you might get when booking a package like free nights and room upgrades.
I echo your feelings and agree entirely with the comments about Premier.
The sequence, North Thailand, Beach, Bangkok is also a good way of doing things.
Enjoy McGroogle!
