A tour in Asia will never be never complete without visiting one of the region’s most charming destinations, Thailand. Rested in between the brimming peninsula of Indochina and Southeast Asia, Thailand is the perfect mix of cosmopolitan vibe and local hospitality. From the influence of the Chinese and Lao culture to the modern-day ambiance by its neighbouring countries, Thailand has grown into a cultural melting pot of people coming from all walks of life. Thus, it is no wonder that this vibrant and multi-faceted place has never failed to attract millions of local and international travellers from across the world each year.
Top Tourist Spots
Diversity is at the heart of Thailand’s tourism. From Bangkok’s bustling metropolis to Phuket’s white sand beaches, there is something in Thailand for every excursionist. Rush through the day with the capital city’s cinema-multiplexes, state-of-the-art hotels, and high-class malls. But Bangkok has more to give than the posh lifestyle swathing the entire city. One of the most visited tourist spots is the Old Palace, a perfect specimen of the city’s craftsmanship evident in its old-world inspired furnishings. This exquisite piece of architecture ushers guests into a vintage setting right in the centre of Rattanakosin Island. Just a few hours from Bangkok is Nonthaburi, a city of fun, flair, and everything else in between.
The city is host to the colourful central market which showcases authentic products and fresh produce. A variety of food stalls occupy this place smelling every bit like the conventional Thai market. For a fun-filled nightlife and an all-in-one cultural escapade, walk through the streets of Chiang Mai, the biggest city in north Thailand. Thousands of tourists flock to this paradise to witness exciting Thai festivals such as the Lantern Festival, Thai New Year, and Flower Festival. Cap off the tour with a visit to Phuket, Thailand’s biggest island. Resorts, historical spots, and natural wonders abound in this place.
Getting There
Enjoying top-notch transportation and infrastructure facilities, Thailand welcomes every guest with local hospitality and convenience. After all, this place is home to the multi-million dollar Suvarnabhumi Airport, one of the top ten best airports in the world. Most of the tourists arrive in Thailand through a scheduled trip for Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America.
There are also gateways and border crossings for short tours in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Myanmar, and Laos. It is easy to explore the sights in the country once you get there. The coastal resorts and inland cities are conveniently connected giving each tourist a chance to move about the area despite having a limited time. True to its nickname, Thailand is truly a “City of Angels” that should be in everyone’s bucket list.
