Would you like to visit Cambodia too?
Cambodia is only just over an hour’s flight from Bangkok: it is really worth adding a few days to your trip to Thailand, if only to discover the extraordinary temples of Angkor, in Siem Reap. Allow at least 2 to 3 days for Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm, and a little longer for Phnom Penh, Kampot or the southern islands.
Plan my trip to CambodiaNorthern Thailand
Northern Thailand is the part of the country with the greatest historical and cultural interest. It is home to places such as Sukhothai, the former capital of the Kingdom, with its magnificent historical park, and Chiang Mai, the “Rose of the North”, as well as the most beautiful mountains in the country.
Southern Thailand
Southern Thailand is the Thailand of white sandy beaches and paradise islands. There are fewer monuments and historical sites, but breathtaking landscapes and some of the most famous diving spots in the world. It is also the most touristy part of the country.
Central Thailand
Central Thailand is not just about Bangkok: there are other interesting destinations such as Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi, as well as the most interesting floating markets in the country. We suggest, for example, spending a weekend in Amphawa along its market canal.
Northeastern Thailand
Northeastern Thailand, also called Isan, is the most rural, the poorest and the most authentic part of the country. There are beautiful Khmer temples, Buddhist temples, friendly cities on the banks of the Mekong, amazing natural sites and... very few tourists.
Historical parks in Thailand
There are many historical parks in Thailand, most of them listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The best known is Sukhothai Historical Park with its stone Buddhas, a must-see to discover the rich history of Thailand!
Floating markets in Thailand
Floating markets are a Thai tradition that fortunately still survives in parts of the country, even if there are few of them and some have become rather touristy. The best known are near Amphawa, about 100 km from Bangkok.
National parks in Thailand
There are two types of national parks in Thailand: land parks and marine parks. Both offer the extraordinary landscapes of a country blessed by nature, and Thailand's national parks are among the most beautiful in the world.
Temples in Thailand
Thailand is a deeply Buddhist country with thousands of temples. It is impossible to visit them all, but we give you detailed practical information to discover many of the most famous temples in Thailand.
