Thailand is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, delicious cuisine, and welcoming culture. From the inviting beaches of the South to the bustling markets of the North, this country has something for everyone. 

Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or party, Thailand has an abundance of activities to suit any traveler. So, here is our ultimate list of the most incredible things to do in Thailand, the Land of Smiles!

 

Discovering The Real Land Of Smiles 

Thailand is affectionately referred to as the Land of Smiles, and it’s easy to see why. You’ll be met with warm smiles and friendly greetings everywhere you go.

Immerse yourself in the culture by visiting local markets, spending time with the locals, and exploring the smaller towns and villages. It’s easy to travel in Thailand! We got to experience Thailand’s true beauty, one uncluttered by tourist traps and franchise shops.

Exploring The Beaches of Thailand 

The beaches of Thailand are some of the most beautiful in the world. From the stunning white sand of Phuket to the secluded coves of Koh Lipe, Thailand’s beaches are a paradise for beach bums and sun worshippers alike. 

Take a dip in the crystal clear waters, go snorkeling or scuba diving, or relax and soak up some sun. Remember to grab extra sunscreen and take plenty of selfies!

Taking In The Temples 

Thailand is home to a wealth of ancient temples, each with its own unique beauty. From the iconic Wat Arun in Bangkok to the stunning Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, there’s a temple for every taste. 

Spend a day exploring the intricately carved Buddhas and other temple artifacts and take in the peaceful atmosphere.

Sampling The Cuisine 

Foodies will be in heaven in Thailand. Thai cuisine is sure to tantalize your taste buds with a unique blend of flavors and spices. From the fiery curries of the North to the fresh seafood of the South, there’s something for everyone. 

Be sure to try some street food as well. In our experience, it’s the best way to sample the local flavors!

Shopping In Chiang Mai 

Chiang Mai is known for its bustling night markets, where you can find everything from handmade crafts to local delicacies. 

We spent an evening browsing the stalls, sampling snacks, and haggling for bargains. You’ll find plenty of souvenirs to take home and remember your trip by.

Rejuvenating In The Spa 

Thailand is well known for its spas and wellness centers. From the traditional Thai massage to more modern treatments, there’s a spa experience for everyone.

We took a well-deserved break from our travels and spent a slow, relaxing day indulging in a massage and facial.

Trekking In the Jungle 

If you’re adventurous like we are, you’ll love this one! The jungles of Thailand are home to an array of exotic wildlife and lush vegetation. 

Spend a few days trekking through the wilderness, and you’ll be rewarded with stunning views and the chance to spot some local wildlife.

Partying In Bangkok

No trip to Thailand is complete without a good party. And what better place to party in Thailand than in affordable, yet luxurious, Bangkok

Bangkok is a city that never sleeps. From the pulsing nightlife of Khao San Road to the chic clubs of Sukhumvit, we believe that Bangkok has something for everyone.
