The 9 Most Beautiful Places To Visit In Thailand

Thailand is a wondrous country. It is full to the brim of culture, history, delectable cuisines, breathtaking landscapes and tropical beaches – it’s no wonder that so many foreign holiday-goers make it their destination-of-choice when traveling abroad.

With so much to offer, it can be hard to plan your journey around the country if you’re limited for time, so we have come up with the top 9 destinations where you can best soak up the local culture during your stay in Thailand  starting from the north and ending in the south. Happy traveling!

Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai is a city in the northernmost point of Thailand and is known as the Golden Triangle – where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet. It is a relaxed town that is home to some of the most stunning ornate temples, art, and cuisine; a visit here will be packed with culture and history.  

Pai

Pai is a quiet gem of a town located in northern Thailand that has its arms open wide to travelers. It is picturesque and quiet, with plenty of hiking trails with amazing landscapes to behold. Also, just outside are waterfalls, hot springs and the opportunity to take a ride on an elephant.

Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is a buzzing city buried among mountains. It is full of culture and impressive temples – the most famous being the Wat Phrathat Doi Suthelp – as well as astounding landscapes. It is a hotspot for tourists – both passing through and those settling more permanently –  who enjoy its activities, cuisine, and history.

Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand’s capital city. The lively cosmopolis is not one for the faint-hearted – it is a jungle of high-rise buildings, wild night-life, bustling marketplaces and ancient ruins. Most people who visit Thailand will land in Bangkok first – much like being thrown into the deep end – and then travel out after only a few days. However, on your travels around South East Asia it is a place you’ll return to again and again.

Hua Hin

One of the most special cites in the southern-half of Thailand is Hua Hin. It blends city-life with tropical beaches and offers everything you need for holidaying or for settling more permanently– shopping, business, education, infrastructure, golden beaches and stunning landscapes. If you’re considering buying property in Thailand, this city is the best place to do it. For a reputable travel agent in Hua Hin, visit http://property-hua-hin.com/.

Khao Sok National Park

Khao Sok National Park is touted as one of Thailand’s most beautiful wildlife reserves, and it’s not hard to see why. It has earned this reputation due to its untouched landscapes, jungle forests, glistening lakes, and the variety of wild animals that call it their home – elephants, bears, monkeys, deer, etc. There are countless walking trails that tourists can embark on to discover its wonders.

Koh Pha-Ngan

If you’re a backpacker looking for a party, there is no party in the world quite like the full moon party on Koh Pha-Ngan. Despite the monthly celebration being set on one of the most sparkling islands with white-sand beaches, the affair is boisterous and lasts all night long.

Phi Phi Islands

Located off Phuket (on the opposite side of Thailand to the likes of Koh Pha-Ngan and Koh Samui) are the divine Phi Phi Islands – a group of six islands, each more breathtaking than the last. The tropical islands with white sands, turquoise water and spectacular rock formations attract millions of visitors, backpackers and honeymooners. Film buffs will even recognize Maya Bay from the film The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Ko Lanta

Located in the Krabi district in south Thailand, Ko Lanta is the ideal location for holiday-makers to have a relaxed break from the bustle of Thai cities or party islands. It is lined with miles-long beaches that are uncrowded, and also offers once-in-a-lifetime scuba diving excursions. For the perfect romantic getaway or for much-need recuperation, you can’t beat watching the sunset from the cliffs of Ko Lanta.
