Thailand, or officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is an independent constitutional monarchy in Southeast Asia on the Indochina Peninsula. It is bordered by Laos and Cambodia to the east, Malaysia and the Gulf of Thailand (Siam) to the south, and the Andaman Sea and Myanmar to the west.
Until the summer of 1939, the official name of the country was Siam.
Railay
Although not technically, Railay is like an island. Surrounded by mountains and accessible only by small boat, Railay is one of the largest rock climbing destinations in Southeast Asia.
The limestone cliffs rising out of the blue water offer an unforgettable landscape, which can often be seen on postcards from Thailand.
Ayutthaya
Just a short two-hour train ride from Bangkok, Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Siam for 417 years.
Founded in 1350, Ayutthaya is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, since the modern city contains many temple ruins.
Khao Sok National Park
Although not the largest or oldest national park in Thailand, Khao Sok is a favorite among many visitors. This 739 square kilometer nature reserve in southern Thailand is famous for its floating bungalows and picturesque lake.
With a little luck and good timing, we can even see the rare Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world.
Phuket
Phuket is Thailand’s largest and one of the most popular islands. The island is well-developed, a perfect place for rest and relaxation.
Koh Samui
It is an ideal location for families or even for honeymooners. Although many resorts have been built on the island, it has nevertheless preserved its charm and we can get a glimpse of the everyday life of the locals.
