Koh Lao Liang is actually two neighbouring islands off the coast of Trang which have been left relatively untouched by Thailand’s booming tourism industry. Climbers choosing Koh Lao Liang to indulge their pleasure can stay right on the beach in spacious tents. Their climbing playground soars above them. There are various climbing routes which are suitable for both novices and those with lots of experience.

Koh Yao Noi is an island in the middle of Phang Nga Bay, halfway between Phuket and Krabi. Although a relaxing atmosphere and fabulous beaches draw most people here, it also has some great climbs with guide companies such as Mountain Shop Adventures having developed some excellent climbing routes replete with titanium bolts.

Those who prefer easy access to their climbs could enjoy Tonsai and Railay by staying at the cheaper Ao Nang beach and taking boats across for daytrips. Although there are lots of tourists at Thailand’s two iconic climbing spots, the sheer beauty of the locations and the exhilarating challenge remain the same. The massive limestone cliffs are loaded with stalactites and have routes for people of all abilities.

The Royal Flora Ratchaphruek expo was previously held in 2006. A major draw then was the Netherlands Gardens. A highlight for local visitors at this garden was tulips as they do not grow in tropical climates. The tulips are making a re-appearance and are expected to draw massive crowds again. Other prominent draws include Yemen’s dragon’s blood tree, a native of the Socotra Islands; cold climate offerings from Canada and 30 locally grown varieties of lily.

Indian, Chinese and Sudanese gardens are among the other international areas. There are also covered gardens with numerous different kinds of colourful orchids in them. Regional carrier AirAsia has its own garden and is promoting it in conjunction with special air fares. Royal Flora Ratchaphruek ends on 14 March. Admission fees for adults are 200 Baht, and for children and pensioners they are 100 Baht.

San Kamphaeng near Chiang Mai is probably the best known of the hot springs. There are two locations here, a government run facility and the private Rung Arung one, where visitors can bathe in the waters. I usually use the government facility as it has colourful gardens and a hot-water stream through the middle of it that is shaded by lofty trees.

There are communal and private baths as well as a swimming pool which are fed by spring waters. Those going for the full health treatment can also get a massage from one of the skilled masseuses who work near the pool.

Among other locations with hot springs near Chiang Mai are Viangpapao, Mae Hong Son, Pai and Chae Son National Park near Lampang. Viangpapao is on the main highway to Chiang Rai. It is a convenient rest stop on the journey where visitors can dip their feet in spring water troughs and boil chicken and quail eggs in a small pond. Ranong Province’s Raksavarin Forest Park is the location of one of the busier hot springs in the south.

The Sukhothai Kingdom was in existence for 200 years from about the year 1250. It ended when a royal heir married the King of Ayutthaya and the two territories merged. After this royal union, the city known to Thais as Muang Gow, fell into disrepair.

In modern times, the old city has become one of Thailand’s iconic tourist attractions. Driving along the access route from the new city, Kampeng Hak Gate can be seen from afar and stands like a sentinel marking the spot. The main city complex is home to Mahathat Temple and Wat Si Sawai, while an enormous and beautifully preserved Buddha statue is contained within Wat Si Chum, outside the main complex.

Visitors can buy a combination ticket which covers entry to the three main parks at Sukhothai, Ramkhamhaeng National Museum and the nearby ruins of Si Satchanalai. It is difficult to do justice to these sites in one day and there are several accommodation choices near Muang Gow which make a great base.

The park has a number of different buildings and exhibitions devoted to various science disciplines. There is a small planetarium and museum which is themed around a trip the revered king made to Waghor in the 1860s. The monarch had been calculating star movements and came to the district to observe a solar eclipse.

The modern centrepiece of the park is Waghor Aquarium. This facility is fast evolving into one of the most popular draws in the park and in the region. It houses large collections of colourful tropical fish, sea creatures and local river denizens. A glass tunnel goes through the centre of the aquarium and allows guests to witness the feeding of sharks, rays and other species.

There is also a transport museum in the park, although this was closed the last time I was here, with two old steam locomotives outside and a large butterfly enclosure. The Gulf of Thailand beach that runs down the east side of the park is a relaxing spot to enjoy a drink or snack bought from vendors’ kiosks.

Wat Phana Choeng, is a located on the south side of Ayutthaya, right where the Chao Phraya and Pasak rivers join up. This temple is one Ayutthaya’s oldest temples and of its most lively today, the huge Buddha image on which the temple built, was cast in 1324. The main Wiharn is just barely big enough to house the colossal 19meters (63 feet) high the Buddha image. On a busy day, there can barely be enough room to squeeze past people praying in front the image in order to see the entire space, just press through; it will be well worth it.

There are numerous stalls lining the large parking area where food and souvenirs can be purchased. So don’t miss this temple on your visit to Ayutthaya.

In Phuket, despite the fact that there are so many things to see and do, don’t miss a visit to Laem Promthep, as it is Phuket’s most beautiful view points on the island and it is located on the most southern end of the island.

The Laem Promthep panoramic viewpoint in Phuket is very much appreciated by the tourists and lovers of sunsets and most of the tour operators in Phuket organize a stop in most of their tour destinations during the day or early evening. A long time ago, the villagers called this view point “Leam Jao” or Cape of Gods. This view point almost gives 360 degrees over the sea south of Phuket Island. It inspires a rest and calm to almost every visitor who can see the Phi Phi islands and even the province of Phang Nga.

This is one of the locations that you can really view some of the Island’s most beautiful sunsets and don’t forget your camera. It is very easy to find though the locations related to Laem Promthep, are presented by the shortest path a radio wave would travel and may not be the nearest by road, for example, Laem Promthep is located 0.4 kilometers from viewpoint, 0.8 kilometers from Ko Man, 0.9 Kilometers Nai harn Noi Beach and 1.1 Kilometers from Phuket Sunset Bungalow.

The Theravada Buddhist temple is located in the Saiyok district of Thailand’s kanchanaburi province, not far from the border to Myanmar, along the 323 highways. The temple was founded in 1994 as a forest temple and a sanctuary for numerous wild animals, which led it to receive an 80kg of gold, golden jubilee Buddha image.

In 1999, the temple received the first cub, it had been found by villagers but it died soon after, then several tiger cubs where given to temple after their mothers had been killed by poachers and as of now, the number of tigers and cubs, is more than 30.

While you are in Kanchanaburi, you not only see and pet the Tigers at Tiger temple, but also see other numerous kinds of animals and of course, you get the chance to visit River Kwai, and if you are lucky, you will also get to see a leopard by the famous Kanchanabur war bridge.

The area is amazing location to relax and unwind in the evening after all the action with Tigers and other animals because most of the guesthouses are located on River Kwai and very reasonably priced. Food and drinks are also far cheaper than Bangkok, yet it is only 3 hours drive from Bangkok.
