But 7 days in Thailand is still quality time. I recommend keeping it to just two places if that's the plan because you'll be tired and it's hot. A combination of BKK and a beach area (Krabi, Phuket, Koh Samui, etc.) or BKK and the north (Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai).
On average, most people spend about 10 days to two weeks in Thailand and if you want to experience the best of what the country can offer, this should give you enough time to visit the must-see sites and to even discover a few hidden gems. And there is much more to Thailand than just Bangkok.

Bangkok is a full experience of all the senses with its sites, smells, colors, pace, and congested city sounds. Famous for its temples, shopping, and markets, street food, and nightlife.
