Visitors to Thailand undoubtedly want to savour busy urban
attractions, a temple or two, and some of the most beautiful countryside in the
world. This itinerary of five top attractions starts in Bangkok, takes and ends
on the pure white beaches of Hua Hin.
Urban lovers will flourish in the unbelievable clamour and
sheer audacity of Bangkok. The political and cultural capital of
Thailand, Bangkok is home to over 8 million inhabitants. Start at the Grand
Palace in the old city and enjoy an exceptional example of Thai architecture
and focus on intricate detail. The Palace houses the famous Emerald Buddha,
much revered by the Thai people, and is probably the number one attraction in
the country.
After your visit to the Grand Palace, head to the Emerald
Buddha’s original home, Wat Arun. You can enjoy a presentation on
the history of this beautiful shrine, one of the most recognizable in all of
Bangkok. Its name means “temple of dawn” so called because the first morning
light dazzles off of its central cupola. The temple is on the banks of
the Chao Phraya River.
The river itself is the third top attraction in Thailand.
Along its banks, you will find everything that makes a river town charming:
barges and water-taxis; stilt houses; floating markets; and temples all along
the shores. Book a boat tour of the waterway for the best way to experience all
the sights.
The fourth top attraction in Thailand is not a place but a
mouthwatering experience: enjoy an exciting foray into some of the most
famous food in the world. Whether you want to sample
traditional Thai food, or even fine European fare, restaurants in Bangkok offer
the most sophisticated taste experiences in Asia. You can even fish for your
own prawn for dinner or find a tucked-away place where dancing robots serve
you.
After the hectic pace of Bangkok, it is time to set off
for outdoor adventure. Since the weather is nearly perfect all the
time, the outdoor enthusiast will be right at home. The only problem is trying
to choose which outdoor adventure to sample: jungle treks, riding elephants,
pot-holing, snorkeling, mountain biking, kayaking? Whatever your inclination,
make sure you visit at least one of the spectacular beaches: choose Hua Hin or
Cha Am for pure sand, crystalline water, fine resorts and proximity to Bangkok.
Thailand is called the Golden Land not only for its climate
and beautiful sights but also for its warmth and hospitality. It will welcome
and dazzle you.
