Featured Destinations
Krabi
Krabi is a southern province on Thailand's Andaman seaboard with perhaps the country's oldest history of continued settlement. During the present reign, the corps of civil servants, the merchants, and the population generally of Krabi and nearby provinces have together organized construction of a royal residence at Laem Hang Nak Cape for presentation to His Majesty the King. This lies thirty kilometers to the west of Krabi Town on the Andaman coast.
Phatthalung
A southern fishing village of Thailand, this town borders the large shallow Songkhla Lake that sits at the foot of the Ok Thalu Mountain surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, Phatthalung was influenced by Indian culture. Now, it has historical sites and relics revering Buddha. With its many reigns of Kings, this tiny fishing village became one of twelve royal cities. Today, visitors can admire the unique landmark of two limestone formations while on their way to explore Thale Noi Waterfowl Park.
Nakhon Si Thammarat
Located on the eastern Malay Peninsula, the ancient town of Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand (often simply called Nakon), dates from the seventh-century Srivijayan period. For centuries, Nakon served as an important trading link between Thailand and the rest of the world. Today, those outside influences can be seen in the area's cuisine, temples and architecture.
Visit Wat Mahathat and a small but interesting museum devoted to the Srivijayan period. Monks live in separate quarters across the street. There are beaches nearby, and it's a nice place to walk around. The town, 375 mi/600 km south of Bangkok, sees very little foreign tourism, and for many visitors that adds to its charm.
Bangkok
Bangkok is chief port capital of Thailand and one of the most important cities in Southeast Asia. It is the epitome of the country's kaleidoscopic blend of old and new. It is an expression of Thai respect for tradition coupled with their vibrant involvement with modern progress. Rama I built the walled Grand Palace, which contains Temple of the Emerald Buddha. During the 19th century, Bangkok was known as the Venice of the East because of its many canals, which served as streets and commercial thoroughfares. Houses perched along the banks of the remaining canals are still common sight. Some of Bangkok’s most distinctive features are the approximately 400 Buddhist temples, known as wats. Bangkok is Thailand's economic center. Other sights to see include Temples, monuments, museums, Vimarnmekh Mansion, and Jim Thompson’s House.
