Thailand had a vast diversity of culture from the rural Hill Tribes of the north to the laid back island life style of the south and of course who could forget the metropolitan city of Bangkok slap bang in the centre of it all.
Over the past decade or so, Thailand has become quite the tourist hot spot resulting in a well developed infrastructure and an abundance of places to stay. Whatever you’re looking for, Thailand is sure to have it on offer; whether it’s trekking and having your photo taken with a tiger in the north or relaxing on white sandy beaches and taking your first ever breaths as a scuba diver in the south, you’re sure to find something that appeals to your needs of a new adventure. Who could forget the legendary full moon party on the island of Koh Phangan, a once in a life time experience that no one will ever forget. If partying is not your thing and you’re looking for a Detox/Yoga get away don’t worry Thailand still had a lot to offer with a vast variety of spas on the surreal islands of the south.
As long as you keep your mind open and welcome new faces you will never be disappointed and if it just so happens Thailand gives you the traveller bug as it does with so many you are perfectly situated for taking your adventure even further and visit any of the neighbouring countries such as Laos rapidly becoming the talked about place on the traveller scene, the amazing ruins of Ankor Wat in Cambodia, or the cultural diversity of Malaysia.
No matter what your time scale is Thailand has something out there that will appeal just don’t be surprised that however long you’ve been there you leave saying you’ll be back.
