Ready to be inspired to plan your next trip to Thailand? I’ve compiled some of my favorite photos ever of the diverse landscape that makes up the land of smiles.
Thailand is such a unique and incredible country filled with almost every type of wild adventure. Nothing is ever more than two hours away and everything is fairly easy to access. Plus, the whole country is cheap as heck!
The most popular places to visit can be summed up in three sections: Northern Thailand, Central Thailand, and the Thai Islands.
Each section offers something a little different than the others which makes choosing where to go really difficult. Ideally, you’d have a minimum of two weeks exploring the country to really see all that Thailand has to offer. But you really need a good month to get a good feel for the country and see all it has to offer.
One section that isn’t mentioned here is Isan. Sadly, that it one area of Thailand I was unable to explore as much as I would have liked. However, there are some places there that are still on my Thailand bucket list. So, whenever I make it back, that is one of the areas I will be heading to!
Northern Thailand
First, we have Northern Thailand. The top of Thailand is mostly known for its lush jungle landscapes and relaxed atmosphere, Northern Thailand is the perfect place for your home away from home. It’s also home to many rescued elephants who are living their best lives away from unkind handlers. But be careful, because the jungle is also home to scarier creatures like Thailand Black tarantulas and giants snakes!
Central Thailand
Next, in the middle of the country is the giant metropolis of Bangkok. Bangkok is often referred to as the center of SE Asia and once you’re there it’s easy to see why. Not only does it give you that traditional Thai feel, but there are still areas of the city that make you forget you’re still in Thailand. However, central Thailand has more to offer than just Bangkok. Close by are many beaches and national parks to go on your next adventure.
The Thai Islands
Lastly, we have the Thai Islands. The Thai Islands are where Thailand really shines. With some of the prettiest beaches in the world, it’s the perfect place for being in paradise on a budget. Additionally, I’ve never failed to be amazed by the bright blue water and limestone cliffs no matter how many times I visit. Honestly, no trip to Thailand would be complete without at least one visit to a Thai island.
Koh Phi Phi
These photos don’t even begin to cover the beauty you can find in Thailand. But they should give you a good idea of the type of adventure you can find here. Truly, this country is one of the prettiest I have ever seen.
But no matter who you are, there is an incredible adventure waiting for you on your next trip to Thailand.
So, let me know if you would visit! And if you have anywhere else I should go, let me know in the comments!
