Suggestions
Bangkok is the
usual gateway for most travellers, and you should plan
on three or five days in the capital. This should allow
sufficient time for seeing the major sights such as the
Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Arun,
Wat Pho and Vimanmek Mansion. Perhaps also a trip along
the Chao Phraya River or a shopping jaunt to Chatuchak
Weekend Market.

|
|
so take an out-of-town
excursion (Ayutthaya or Kanchanaburi are top choices).
Check out some of the suggestions listed under our Sightseeing
section. |

If a beach vacation
is your priority, Bangkok could be followed by a week
at Phuket, Phi Phi, or Samui Island, which offer the
most exotic settings. Should your time be limited, the
resorts of Pattaya, Rayong, Cha-am and Hua Hin are closer
to the capital.

For a different scene,
northern Thailand affords plenty of scope for both cultural
sightseeing and refreshing escapes into the countryside.
Chiang Mai is
|
|
|
the best base for
exploring the region, offering its own sights as well
as numerous hiking and trekking options, and a stay
of three or four days gives a good introduction. If
you have more time, overnight visits to Mae Hong Son
or Chiang Rai are well worthwhile
|
|
Travellers
who already know Thailand will find the Northeast region
rewarding. The most traditional part of our country,
it is best toured by car or bus allow five to seven
days
|
|
Thailand further provides
excellent facilities for sporting vacations - golf,
scuba diving, yachting, and mountain biking. A two-week
stay gives time for general sightseeing and special
interest activities.
|
|
|
(The variations for
a visit to Thailand are never endless, and perhaps the
best advice to bear in mind when arranging your trip
is to plan on coming back.)
