Mum & Dad · 3–18 August 2026

Bangkok comfort.
Da Nang adventure.

A simple, low-friction plan built around good massages, a proper Thai cooking class, and Dad’s Golden Bridge visit—without wasting the holiday in airport connections.

Recommended base: Phrom Phong Direct DMK → DAD flights Golden Bridge weather-flex day
3–7 August · 4 nights Bangkok — settle in

Phrom Phong base, massages, cooking class and easy BTS days.

7–12 August · 5 nights Da Nang + Hoi An

Golden Bridge early on the clearest weekday; keep a backup weather day.

12–18 August · 6 nights Bangkok — slow finish

Optional riverside stay, Ayutthaya day trip, shopping and final massages.

Flight trap: book Bangkok–Da Nang as a nonstop. Don Mueang (DMK) currently has frequent direct Thai AirAsia service, but Bangkok has two airports—always check whether the ticket says DMK or BKK before arranging transfers.
