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.
