Thailand
You’ll be treated to some of the most spectacular, natural views in the world when you visit Thailand.
Rich Buddhist culture, mouthwatering cuisine and stunning beaches are just a few of the reasons millions of people travel to Thailand each year. As Asia’s premier vacation destination, Thailand offers visitors a glimpse of a unique culture, where travelers can experience simple farming villages and neon-lit skyscrapers alike. While this country continues to develop through the massive influx of tourism, its society maintains its integrity, with many natural and manmade wonders to explore.
The Theravada Buddhist lifestyle pervades this unique nation, from its goldenrod-robed monks to its tiered temple rooflines. With their glistening gold accents, vibrant colors and exotic architecture, the Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaeo in Bangkok are among the most beautiful temples many will see in their lifetimes. You can even take a meditative trek up the 300 steps to the gleaming pinnacle of Wat Doi Suthep near Chiang Mai, a path on which many find peace and enlightenment.
Another must-experience feature of any trip to Thailand is their world-famous cuisine--and you can find the best of the best on the street. Bangkok and other major cities are filled to the brim with local markets and street food vendors, all of whom will give you a filling and delightful meal for only about $1 USD. If you’d prefer to enjoy your meal out of the heat of the sun, try the gourmet La Table de Tee in Silom or nosh on some local seafood at Kruthara in the south Andaman.
A little off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of the major cities, you’ll be treated to some of the most spectacular natural views in the world. There are over a hundred national parks throughout the country, each offering world-class trekking, hiking, rock-climbing, or swimming and sunbathing. Have an up-close encounter with Elephants at the Elephant Nature Park, or go rock climbing at the Ton Sai beach. The views and experiences will astound you and leave you wanting more.
When you travel to Thailand, you’ll find so much to learn and explore; many travelers fall in love with the country and return multiple times to discover all this unique nation has to offer.
