Which are the best places to stay in Thailand? |
Travel Info What do you recommend to visit while we are in Thailand? What cities or villages to visit and what to do there. are these places are welcoming? Travel Tips Starting with Bangkok, here are 26 things to do in Bangkok & Central Thailand:- 1) Grand Palace 2) Vimanmek Mansion (royal palace) 3) Thai Massage - the traditional massage is called 'Nuat Thai' and there are hundreds of places for this in Bangkok. This is proper Thai massage. 4) Safari World - safari park (has elephant rides) 5) Dreamworld - amusement park (includes snow dome & grown-ups size go-kart track, rollercoasters, etc.) http://www.thailandtravelservices.com/dr... 6) Day trip to a Floating Market 7) Day trip to Ayutthaya - old capital of Thailand - 50 miles north of Ayutthaya (has elephant stables and elephant rides) 8) Day trip to Kanchanaburi - west of Bangkok - bridge over the river kwai/tiger sanctuary 9) Weekend Market, Bangkok 10) Suan Lum Night Market (also has a big wheel) 11) National Museum (Bangkok) 12) Shopping - malls: MBK, Siam Paragon, Central World Plaza (they all have movie theaters too). 13) Shopping - local markets: Pratunarm market, Chinatown, Thieves Market, Flower Markets 14) Day trip to Khao Yai National Park - east of Bangkok 15) River Cruise on the Chao Phraya River 16) Dusit Zoo & Tropical Gardens 17) Temples - famous temples include Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Marble Temple, The Temple of the Golden Buddhahttp://www.thailandtravelservices.com/te... 18) Snake Farm, Bangkok 19) Jim Thompson's House, Bangkok 20) Samut Prakarn Crocodile Farm & Zoo, just outside Bangkok, has elephant rides, crocodile feeding, etc. 21) Bang Pa-In Palace (near Ayutthaya) 22) Day trip to Nakhon Pathom 23) Muang Boran (Ancient City), south of Bangkok 24) Suan Pakkard Palace, Bangkok 25) Golden Mount, Bangkok 26) The Royal Barges Museum, Bangkok. North-East Thailand (Isan) 1) Phimai - Angkor Temple complex (also Phimai National Museum and Sai Ngam - Banyan tree). Khmer ruins. 2) Buriram (Prasat Hin Lhao Phanom Rung Historical Park) - Like Phimai, another Angkor Temple complex - bigger than Phimai but harder to get to. 3) Prasat Meuang Tam Khmer Temple complex - not far away from Prasat Rung - not sure how you will be there without a car. I remember there were some motorcycle riders offering rides for a price, but not so cheap. North Thailand (Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai) 1) Doi Inthanon - the highest mountain in Thailand (in Doi Inthanon National Park) 2) Waterfalls in Doi Inthanon National Park 3) Doi Tung (Doi Tung Royal Villa, Mae Fah Luang Garden) 4) Golden Triangle tour - the view from the hill of the river where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet ranks as a must see. 5) Hill Tribes Tour (normally part of a Golden Triangle Tour) - more of a cultural awareness thing rather than a must see. 6) Elephant trekking - there is a multi-day package that you can buy. Some people also recommend Chiang Mai Zoo. I am sure its very nice. I think there are a lot of places to see animals in and around Bangkok:- Safari World, Dusit Zoo, Siam Underwater world, Khao Yai National park, (even Dreamworld & Ayutthaya (Ayudhya) have elepant rides), Samut Prakarn Crocodile Farm & Zoo, Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute (Snake Farm, Bangkok). Even, Muang Boran (Ancient City), that doesn't even promote istelf as a place to see animals has a deer reserve for Hog Deer, sometimes they can also be seen wandering around the 'ancient' monuments. South Central Thailand 1) Phra Ramarajnivet Palace, Petchaburi 2) Phra Nakhom Khiri Palace, Petchaburi 3) Hua-Hin beach 4) Wat Khoa Takiep, Hua-Hin - if you are in Hua-Hin anyway, its worth going to as it a pretty hill-top temple. There is a Traditional Thai design part to the temple, but, in addition, slightly down the hill, near to the cliff, there is an interesting Chinese part. Also, there are lots of naughty monkeys within the grounds of the temple too. South Thailand For the south I guess I should recommend an island. Beaches are an individual thing. Some people want a deserted beach, some prefer lots of people, bars and organised things to do, jet-skis, etc. However, my favourite, for what its worth, is Koh Phi-Phi as it has the most beautiful beaches. For an island closer to Bangkok, Ko Samet (National Park) is popular, especially post-tsunami as its in the Gulf of Thailand rather than off the west coast, but I don't particularly recommend the beach at Hat Sai Kaew where the cheap Baht1,000 a night bungalows are. Hat Ao Prao on the west part of the island is much nicer. However, generally, its more expensive to stay there. Others There are too many of them. Try searching the internet. Its all over. All places are welcoming unless you make yourself feel unwelcomed. Have fun! Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Pattaya! Bangkok,Ayutaya,Kanjanaburi, Hua Hin,Surin Islands,Similan Islands,Pungkae,Krabi,Chiang Mai,Chiang Rai more details at; http://www.thai-tour.com/eng/index.html... The Evason at Phuket is amazing! and you can take trips to Phi Phi Island(where the Tsunami hit and is now most beautiful than ever) and James Bond island which is famous and amazing. Also the elephants are near and you can ride them, watch them play a musical instrument, wathc them play soccer and paint! It's amazing and you can buy their paintings! It's so so cute....The resort is such a luxury and just unforgettable.... The people are so friendly and really welcome you.....There is heaps to do!!!!! experiencer Wow, Thailand is so big, it will be difficult to list down all the places.
