Thailand
Thailand is the one of the world most
favourite travelling destination. It is located
in the center of South East Asia mainland. Thailand is surrounded by
Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Andaman Sea, and Gulf
of Thailand.
Not only the beautiful tourist attractions that magnet tourists, it also has a tropical climate, wonderful and delicious food, exciting adventures, and friendly Thai people. That makes Thailand a honeymoon and holiday destination of wonderful and memorable experience.
Bangkok
Bangkok, located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, is the dynamic capital of Thailand. It is also the largest city in the country with about 7,000,000 inhabitants. This wealthy city, which is the 22nd most populated city in the world, is a prime holiday destination in Thailand which receives about 15 million visitors annually.
Places you can't afford to miss:
Wat Pho ( Wat Phra Chetuphon, Thasis )
It is the largest
and oldest Wat (temple) in Bangkok, stretching over 20 acres and being
built 200 years before Bangkok became Thailand’s capital. The main
attraction here is the gold plated reclining Buddha, 46 meters long and
15 meters high. It is the place of Thailand’s first university and the
best place in the world where you can get a Thai massage.
The Grand Palace
The Grand Palace is the official residence of the kings of Thailand. This complex of
wonderful buildings attracts the highest number of visitors in Bangkok,
each year. One of the most famous is The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew),
which contains small Emerald Buddhas from the 14th century. Keep in
mind that this is Thailand’s most sacred place and a strict dressing
code applies: long pants, long shirts, no bare feet, no bare shoulders
etc.
The National Museum
The National museum claims to be the largest museum in South East Asia. It is the best place
to find out some facts about the Thai culture, history and religion. An
English tour of the museum lasts about 2 hours and it is available on
Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is recommended to see the museum along with
these tours, since there are large parts of the museum without
information.
Koh Samui
A self-styled Boutique Island in the lower end of the Thai Gulf, this beautiful and exotic beach has emerged as a runaway favorite among families and honeymoon couples because
of its beauty and ‘coconut’ feel. From your villa resort, you can find
numerous coconut plantations all over the island, and make your way out
to where the outdoor theatres with performing elephants and animal farms.
Phi-Phi Islands
Phi Phi actually has two islands, the larger Phi Phi Don where
beautiful beaches galore; and Phi Phi Leh which is noted for its cliffs,
natural caves and water-filled canyon. Both islands are located in
Krabi province, around 42 kilometers or about a 45-minute jaunt from the
south of Phuket. The tiny island oasis beckons not only as a snorkeling
destination but as a day tripper’s trekking delight. From amazing
coral reefs and limestone lookouts to the idyllic beaches to the immense
Viking Cave (so named because it resembles ancient Viking ships but was
later on renamed by an explorer who thought it looked more like a great
serpent) which consists of a cave and sea lake formed by a clef between
the two cliffs, Phi Phi Island is a revelation.
Pattaya Beach
Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum actually has a museum at here. Not very far from here also is the Underwater World where
sharks of all colors and species are found swimming right in front of
your eyes. In addition, sting rays are also floating around the aquarium
flapping its fins like birds. Pattaya is not your ordinary beach resort but also an all-around vacation spot for tourists nationwide.
