Traveling to Thailand, (North) Chiang Mai can be an excellent starting point when you go to Thailand. You can start your vacation with a lot of activities such as hiking, mountain biking or jungle trekking and relaxing on the beach by the time you reach the islands in the south.
Let's go back to Chiang Mai first. Known as the “unofficial” capital of northern Thailand, as well as the country's second city. Because of its geographical location, you may experience hot and humid temperatures here in the afternoon during the hot season. During any of the three seasons & # 39; in Chiang Mai, nights will be mostly cool, but can sometimes freeze in a cool season. when the temperature can drop to a degree or 2 below zero.
Shopping for crafts, sightseeing trips to tents, cultural traditions or visiting tribal villages on the hillside can be part of your daily activities here. If you are a nature lover and an outdoor person, for example, if you like hiking or mountain biking, this can be an interesting place for you. As soon as you head north, you will see how diverse the countryside of Thailand is. From urban areas to seemingly endless and lush green forests and jungles in the north and east of the country. All the way to the idyllic white sandy beach islands in the south.
Speaking of the south, the southern part of Thailand is very popular among tourists. Here you will find beautiful idyllic islands with stunning white sandy beaches amidst swinging coconut palms, ones that you can sometimes see in these fantastic tropical ads on your TV. Traveling to Thailand is one thing. But after a few days, when you leave Bangkok behind you, and you enter Pattaya, which is just an hour and a half south of Bangkok, you begin to enter a region with a completely different atmosphere than Bangkok. It’s easy to get into a festive mood in this busy and busy city.
A couple of hours further along the coast, near the Cambodian border, you enter a province called Trat. The capital of this province is also called Trat, and it is located 315 kilometers (5 hours drive) southeast of Bangkok. Trat is the entrance to Koh Chang National Marine Park, an archipelago of 52 islands. Through the Thai Bay at the entrance to Bangkok Bay, you will find Hua Hin and Cha Am. Hua Hin is a place where many locals from Bangkok love to relax when long weekends or national holidays come. Further south in the bay you will find a triangle of islands, which is named Koh Tao, Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. The latter is probably the most famous, but in my opinion, Koh Tao is the most beautiful with amazing diving opportunities and astounding coastlines. But hey, why don't you figure it out?
On the southwest side of the mainland, you will find Krabi, although it is located on the mainland, it has the ability to give you the feeling that you are on an island. Somehow I have the same appeal. In the Andaman Sea west of Krabi, you will find Phuket, Thailand’s largest island. There is everything in Phuket, any activity that you usually have to find or do on vacation, it’s very likely that you will find it in Phuket. The Andaman Sea is home to many of the most famous islands; Similan Islands, a group of 9 uninhabited islands located northwest of Phuket, famous for its fantastic diving opportunities.
Koh Lanta and Phi Phi islands, which are located to the south-east of Phuket, are very popular among tourists for their beauty and tranquility.
