Thailand - Travel Destinations

Sun-drenched beaches, urban bustle, a rural retreat. Thailand has it all. Don't rush. Simplicity, tranquility and harmony lie at the heart of the country. Head to the coast. Relax as warm, tropical seas lap the shores of pristine white sands. Settle into a hammock under a shady palm tree and mark time. Thailand's beaches and islands are some of the most exquisite in south-east Asia.

Travel to Phuket, Thailand's biggest island, has towering cliffs, long stretches of white, sandy beaches and luscious jungle. This dream island is recognized for its luxury resorts and superb seafood dining. The famously energetic.

Pattaya offers uninhibited beach parties. Both destinations give you water sports galore. Choose from scuba dicing, windsurfing, water skiing, water scooting or some good old-fashioned fishing.

Ko Samui is the ultimate retreat. Lush, green and covered with coconut plantations. Perfect beaches and coral-rich waters offer the very best for divers. Elsewhere, the unspoled charms of Ko Chang, the classic beauty of Krabi or the quiet upmarket flavor of Hua Hin and Cha-Am show how vcaried Thailand's beaches are.

Bangkok is a cosmopolitan adventure, always on the go. It twists and turns. It surprise. It's a shrine to ancient wisdom, but also a city with an ultra-modern agenda. A teeming, anonymous metropolis with a big, friendly heart.

No matter why you are in the capital, some attractions are not to be missed. Spectacular temples rise everywhere. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and the Temple of the Golden Buddha inspire awe. Be stunned by the sheer opulence of the Grand Palace. The National Museum answers every question you may have on the history of this fascinating country.

Come to Bangkok for luxury shopping, to bargain at markets, to immerse your sense in smells and flavors. Come after dark to indulge in the energetic nightclub scene. Bangkok also has some of the best venues in Asia for evening arts and cultural performances.

Outside Bangkok, the pace rapidly and effortlessly slows as Thailand becomes a showcase for the most breathtaking rural beauty. Mountaintops, misty hills, cool climates, tribal villages, rice paddies, flora, fauna and wildlife will hold you captive.

Marvel at the ruggedness of Thailand's north. Trek through Kanchanaburi. See elephants, civets and wild boar in the sprawling and magnificent Erawan National Park, one of many havens for the nature lover. Enjoy elephant camps and teak forests in the refreshing climate of Chiang Mai. This city also offers you a staggering temple experience, with some 300 to choose from. After all that, relax with a spa treatment.

Further upcountry, there's Chiang Rai, 570 meters above sea level. The most famous temple of the north is here, Wat Phra Koeo, once the home of the Emerald Buddha. Don't leave without a visit to the archaeologically magnificent city of Ayutthaya, Thailand's capital for 147 years until 1767. The splendid mix of Khmer, Cambodian and Sukhothai architecture in this city well lead you on a rampant march through Thailand's rich history.

Thailand offers you diversity. But each of this country's many faces will inspire and delight you - and leave you determined to experience more.
