Top Places to Visit in Thailand
Below are some of the top places to visit in Thailand
1. Bangkok
Bangkok is a wonderful city that will pull you into its chaos (in a fun way). Start your day with the Grand Palace, head to the giant reclining statue of Lord Buddha, cruise through the Chao Phraya River, and end the day with sunset at the Wat Arun (iconic Buddhist temple). And how could you miss the street food at a late night market. Enjoy the local delicacies like Pad Thai, Thai curries, baked banana pancakes, sticky mango rice, dumplings etc.
2. Phuket
Kick off the day with visit to the Big Buddha statue perched on a hill. Next, reach the Old Phuket town to witness colonial buildings, cafes and street art altogether. The real surprise is the serene viewpoint of the Kata Beach. Phuket isn’t just about beaches – it’s an adventure for the soul.
3. Krabi
Tick off the famous sightseeing spots of Krabi with us. Put your flip flops on, keep your camera handy and head to the powdery white Phra Nang Cave Beach. Gaze at the interesting limestone cliffs and feel awestruck. Or simply unwind in the serene charm of the Emerald pool (and it’s unique shades). Now comes the climb of Tiger Cave temple and the panoramic view from the top can’t be described, only felt.
4. Chiang Mai
A sightseeing tour in Chiang Mai is all about golden temples, dense forests and subtle traditions. Kickstart your day with sipping coffee at a quaint cafe then wander through the lanes leading you to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. Stroll through the alleys of Old Town filled with traditional teak homes, cozy cafes, tucked-away golden temples, and so much more.
5. Koh Samui
Start your day with a visit to Big Buddha Temple famous for its iconic golden statue of Lord Buddha. Now switch to a palm fringed beach to unwind while sipping fresh coconut. Don’t rush, soak it all in, and let Koh Samui’s gentle rhythm carry you around.
6. Koh Chang
Located in the eastern Gulf, Koh Chang is the third largest island of Thailand. This tropical paradise, which is far less crowded than usual tourist spots, has a lot to offer. It has a rich green forest cover leading to beautiful beaches. You can go for adventurous jungle treks or indulge in water sports like diving and snorkelling into the crystal clear waters laden with amazing coral reefs or just laze around on the pristine beach, soaking in the beauty all around. The island is also not lacking in nightlife – bucket cocktails, beach parties, DJs, fire shows promise to keep your nights exciting.
7. Pattaya
Pattaya is a very popular beachside resort town in Thailand, close to the capital Bangkok. Known as the party hub of Thailand, this tropical city is a heady cocktail of vibrant night life, bustling street markets, golden sun kissed beaches, serene temples and cultural charm – providing an ideal balance between excitement and leisure– making it the best things to see in Thailand for solo as well as family tourists.
Things to See and Do in Bangkok
Get ready for a sensory adventure in Bangkok. Here is a list of adventures you can try:
1. Floating Market
Wake up early and hop onto a boat for the Damnoen Saduak shopping experience. Here vendors sell sticky mango rice, coconut pancakes etc. It’s chaotic but you will get a taste of local life.
2. Get a Thai Massage (and you’re going to love it!!!)
It’s a Bangkok essential. The traditional Thai massage is worth a try when in Bangkok. The subtly relaxing technique of stretching the muscles and the right pressure is a great way to treat yourself.
3. Sunset Cruise Ride at Chao Phraya River
Get on board a River Cruise as the golden sunset sets over the skyline. Whether you’re in the mood for a fancy dinner cruise or just to enjoy the river’s breeze on a cruise ride, capture the city’s pulse while gliding through the waters.
4. Join a local cooking class
It’s about learning the art of making Thai delicacies. And who can do it better than the locals. Join a local family for a cooking session where you would learn to balance the spices and flavors and maybe a killer Thai curry.
5. Explore the JJ Market (Chatuchak Market)
If you’re in the mood of shopping and blow up some Baht (Thai currency), this is the place to be. Spread across 27 acres of land, it has more than 8000 stalls attracting huge crowds every Saturday and Sunday only. Take a map along to avoid getting lost in the crowd.
You can buy garments, home décor, foodstuffs, and even live pets – pretty much everything. You can reach here via the Sky Train (nearest station is Mo Chit station i.e. a 500 m away).
