Top 5
Cities To See During A Holiday In Thailand
In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours
Limited, one of my jobs is to ensure every client has the best tour possible,
so here are my top 5 suggestions for cities to visit in Thailand
1.Bangkok is a fascinating city which has
managed to keep it’s ancient eastern traditions whilst embracing the modern
progression of the western world. Bangkok is the
capital city of Thailand
and offers a host of experiences which include floating markets, modern bars,
top of the range shopping, gastronomical delights and ancient temples steeped
in the city’s history. during your holiday.
The Chao Phraya River
separates the city and has a series of canals. The new ‘Sky train’ railway is
something which should be experienced whilst in the city should you fancy
avoiding the bustling traffic.
One of the largest floating markets is
on the outskirts of Bangkok
and you’ll greeted by the aromatic smells and the age old tradition of the
locals and their way of making a living along the busy canals.
There is an array of beautiful and
ancient buildings not to be missed whilst in Thailand. Although I did not
personally experience all of the nightlife, it was made obvious to me that all
of my entertainment needs would be taken care of by all well informed taxi
drivers wishing to proudly show off their culture.
2. Phuket is the biggest island
attraction that Thailand
has to offer. It is the perfect place to retreat to and enjoy a tropical paradise.
Although the west coast of the island was almost destroyed by the tsunami of
2004, there is very little evidence remaining to show that it occurred.
Not to be missed are:
Old Phuket Town. Chinese immigrants from the 19th
century, who were lured in the past by the tin mines, left behind them a host
of amazing Sino-Portuguese mansions along Dibu and Thalang roads.
Thai Boxing. A personal favourite of
mine, this national sport is violent and very fast paced. For regular matches
the Saphan Him Stadium in Phuket
City is the place to be.
3.Krabi. Krabi
Province is in the middle southern
part of Thailand.
It is situated in the aquamarine water of the Andaman Sea.
It is one of the most stunning places in all of Thailand.
Krabi
Town is situated near the mouth of the
Krabi River. The Mangrove forest is something
to experience and is a must for avid bird watchers. Krabi Resort is set among a
curtain of palm trees on the Ao-PhraNang beach. This is a delightful place to
be if you are looking to soak up the natural beauty that surrounds you.
4. Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a city
full of traditional heritage that shares its secrets with all who wish to
discover them. It is a city with stunning natural beauty. It is amazing to see
plants that we have to protect from the frost, growing in their scores,
naturally along the roadside.
The people of Chiang Mai are a wonder
in themselves with exceptional handicraft skills producing magical souvenirs
for the endless throng of visitors. Chiang Mai houses the Inthanon
Mountain, standing 8,448 feetThailand.
5.Sukhothai. When visiting Sukhothai
the main attractions for the area are Phra Mae Ya Shirne which is located in
the Muang District. You will see a long haired figure made of stone that
resembles an ancient queen. There is also a museum and National park as well as
monuments of great interest inside the city walls.
