Thailand is the most popular tourist
destination in Southeast Asia and for a reason. We can find almost anything
here like crystal blue beaches, thick jungle, great food, cheap beach front
bungalows and some of the best luxury hotels in the world. There is something
for every interest and every budget. And despite the heavy flow of tourism,
Thailand retains its quintessential identity with its own unique culture and
history and a carefree people famed for their smiles.

KO TARUTAO
Ko
Tarutao is one of the 51 islands that belong to the Tarutao National Marine
Park archipelago in southern Thailand. One of Tarutao’s greatest attraction is
its wildlife: sea turtles, whales, monitor lizards, crab-eating macaques, mouse
deer and more all call the island and its surrounding waters home. Compared to
other Andaman islands the waters of Ko Tarutao are to murky to snorkel, but for
most, the unspoilt beaches, waterfalls, great hiking and views more than
compensate for this.
KO CHANG
Located
near the border with Cambodia, Ko Chang is the second largest island in
Thailand and the biggest in the Ko Chang Marine Park archipelago. Ko Chang is
one of Thailand’s most beautiful islands with several waterfalls, thriving
coral reefs, rainforests and long white sandy beaches. The island is also home
to a wide range of wildlife, including birds, snakes, deer and a number of
elephants. Only very recently, in less than ten years, Ko Chang has turned
itself in to a major tourist destination in Thailand, and while still far
quieter than islands like Phuket or Ko Samui.
SIMILAN ISLANDS
The Similan Islands in the western Andaman Sea are considered the best dive destination in Thailand. The archipelago consist of 9 islands covered in tropical jungle with white sandy beaches. The views under the water surface are even more impressive. There are 2 different kind of dive spots around the Similan Islands. East facing dive sites consists of gently sloping coral reefs while west facing dive sites feature massive granite boulders, covered with hard and soft corals.
Chiang
Mai is one of the top Thailand attractions. The famous Night Bazaar sprawls
along several city blocks along footpaths, inside buildings and temple grounds.
It has handicrafts, arts, clothing and and imported products of all
descriptions, and a number of large, well-appointed modern shopping centers. At
first, the market was owned by Chinese merchants, but since it grew in size as
more commercial buildings were built, it was no longer owned by a single group
of people. Instead, there are many owners, and most of them are Thai.
RAILAY
Railay beach (or Rai Leh) is a small peninsula that is only accessible by boat due to the high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. These cliffs attract rock climbers from all over the world, but the area is also a popular attraction in Thailand due to its beautiful beaches and quiet relaxing atmosphere. Accommodation ranges from inexpensive bungalows popular with backpackers and climbers, to the renowned jet-set resort of Rayavadee.
KO PHI PHI
Ko Phi Phi is a small archipelago in the Krabi Province in Southern Thailand. Ko Phi Phi Don is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants while the smaller Ko Phi Phi Leh is very popular as a beach or dive excursion. Tourism on Ko Phi Phi has exploded only very recently, especially after Ko Phi Phi Leh was used as a location for the 2000 movie The Beach. As a result of the masses of tourists Ko Phi Phi is becoming less and less attractive but for now it is still a very beautiful place to visit.
