More Thailand Tours, Sightseeing & Things to Do
The Kingdom of Thailand draws more visitors than any other country in
southeast Asia with its irresistible combination of breathtaking natural
beauty, inspiring temples, renowned hospitality, robust cuisine and ruins of
fabulous ancient kingdoms.
From the stupa-studded mountains of Mae Hong Son and the verdant
limestone islands of the Andaman Sea, to the pulse-pounding dance clubs of
Bangkok and the tranquil villages moored along the Mekong River, Thailand
offers something for every type of traveler.
Of course Thailand, like other Asian countries, has been influenced by
contact with foreign cultures. But the never-changing character of Thai
culture has remained dominant, even in modern city life. Often depicted as
fun-loving, happy-go-lucky folk (which indeed they often are), the Thais are
also proud and strong, and have struggled for centuries to preserve their
independence of spirit.
Thailand is divided into 5 regions:
- The Central Region is
extremely rich in historical sites. These include Nakhon Pathom,
Kanchanaburi. Bang Pa-In,
Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Lopburi and, most important
of all, Bangkok, Thailand s capital and major point-of-entry.
- The East Coast unfolds in a
series of bays and beaches to the Thai-Kampuchean border. Many popular
resorts, including Pattaya, Asia's premier beach resort, occupy a coast
characterized by cliff-hidden bays, palmfringed beaches, fishing
communities, lovely islands and largely tranquil Gulf waters.
- The North - Bordered by Burma
and Laos, characterized by forested mountains -- lower extremities of
Himalayan foothills -- and fertile river valleys, northern Thailand
encompasses part of the fabled Golden Triangle and was the cradle of Thai
civilization where several centuries ago, small independent kingdoms held
sway.
- The Northeast Plateau is
a distinctive region thanks to a topography of forested mountains and
national parks and rolling farmland: to its colorful inhabitants who speak
their own melodious dialect, have a delicious highly spiced cuisine, and a
hospitable, vibrant and oftentimes boisterous folk culture: and because of
archaeologically significant excavations and shrines -- such as Ban Chiang
where the world's oldest Bronze Age civilization flourished some 5,600
years ago: and venerable prasat hin (stone castle) temples, legacy of
I-San's former importance to the Angkor-centred Khmer empire.
- The South is characterized by
lush tropical islands, dazzling palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs teeming
with colorful marine life, picturesque fishing villages with handpainted
boats, remote national parks, forested mountains, waterfalls, historic
cities, ubiquitous rubber estates, wildlife sanctuaries, and the
juxtaposition of temples and mosques.
 Golf in Thailand
The combination of quality courses, breathtaking scenery, lavish
clubhouses, friendly caddies and low cost green fees is a very appealing
prospect to any golfer. It therefore comes as no surprise that Thailand is
rapidly becoming one of the world’s hotspots for golf.

the journeys to these popular attractions will provide their own delights.
Travel to Krabi - Krabi is an ideal getaway
destination teeming with natural attractions including white sandy beaches,

fascinating, mist-shrouded mountains and fertile valleys ...the land of
religion with over 1,100 Buddhist temples...and the land of Thai arts and
handicrafts. If you have a chance to visit this tourist paradise, you will
understand why people call it "The Rose of the North".
Travel to Koh Chang - Koh Chang is a perfect hideaway for nature
lovers. Koh Chang is the largest in a group of 52 islands belonging to the
Koh Chang National Marine Park, and is acclaimed for its pristine
rainforests and stunning marine life. Lush, green and mountainous, the
island has a multitude of natural treasures which visitors can explore.
Apart from taking advantage of the soft white sand beaches, more adventurous
guests can enjoy hiking in the rainforests, elephant trekking, fishing,
sailing, snorkeling and diving. Day trips to the surrounding islands can
easily be arranged and there are two multi-level waterfalls with refreshing
pools to swim in.
