Which of these tours to book in advance?

I%26#39;ve been using the TA forums to plan my honeymoon in November - you guys are such an invaluable resource, and I was hoping to pick your brains a little bit more. :)

Everyone always says it%26#39;s cheaper to book tours once you arrive rather than over the net, but is that only for generic tours (4 Islands Tour in Krabi, Trekking in Chiang Mai, etc) or does that also include activities like Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Simba Tours in Phuket, etc?

This is what I%26#39;m considering doing - can anyone let me know if I%26#39;m on the right track?

If your going to be in Chiang Mai for Loy Krathong I would certainly book (if you haven%26#39;t aready) accommodation in advance.

For your your tours, I think you already have covered more than necessary.
