Thailand is a very well-liked tourist destination. Among its numerous attractions include its beaches, nature, nightlife, adventure, and temples. While it is normal for visitors to need to see everything, not everybody can fit all these places in their busy holidays to Thailand itinerary.
Thailand has several places for you to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you intend to escape the crowd and get a real feel of the country, go to the following places during your Thailand holidays.
Tarutao National Park
Found in the country’s far south near Malaysia, Tarutao National Park is a marine sanctuary where its natural beauty is still well preserved. In the past, it’s been used as a penal colony for Thai political prisoners in the 1930s. Some interesting things you can do here are wildlife watching, kayaking, and trekking.
Phu Ruea
In case you want to escape the heat Thailand is known for, go to Phu Ruea village. Located in Loei province in Northeast Thailand, the village is a small mountain resort town situated near a national park with many stunning views and hiking trails. One of its points of interest is the Phu Ruea peak. The best view it offers is from a distinctive Golden Buddha housed under a white canopy. The best time to visit is during non-holiday weekdays since campgrounds are less busy around these times.
Uttaradit Province
If you wish to encounter Thai culture at its finest, stop by Uttaradit province. In fact, finding a tour guide familiar with English can be a bit hard. Some notable sites in the province involve Sirikit Dam and Reservoir (Thailand’s largest earthen dam), and the temple and garden-ringed historic village of Lab Lae. Nature lovers also have something to look forward to: Sak Yai Forest Park houses many unsorted woods and the world’s largest teak tree.
Kanchanaburi Province
If you’re pressed for time and you have to be near the city due to a tight timetable, see Kanchanaburi Province. After you have reached Kanchanaburi City, you can also check out the World War II points of interest like the River Kwai Bridge, the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, and the Death Railway, which are still must-see places due to the part they played in the province’s history. Other points of interest include the Tiger Temple and Mueang Sing historical park, which is home to two Khmer temples dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. It also provides plenty of eco-tourism options with its numerous national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
