10 Most Beautiful Places to Visit in Thailand 2023 🇹🇭 | Thailand Travel Video

Welcome back folks to a brand new video. So we're going to hit Thailand today because Thailand literally has it all. Wonderful cosmopolitan cities in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, the epic tropical jungles, some of the best street food in the world, wonderful palm-lined beaches. So whatever the reason why you're going, Thailand will never disappoint. So here are 10 beautiful places to visit in Thailand. Subscribing is the Christmas thing to do. Number one, Ayutthaya. One of the best day trips from Bangkok. So if you're the type of person who hates the idea of history on holiday, this place will guarantee to convert you. It's UNESCO listed and one of Thailand's ancient cities. Evocative ruins take you on a journey back in time to Siam's golden age. You'll be surrounded by rows of Buddha statues that's swathed in the saffron type of tone. And you'll want to make a date with Wat Mayatat, where the famous stone's Buddha's head peers out from the infinite roots of banyan trees growing around it. Number two, Sukhothai. Sukhothai is a UNESCO world heritage site, another one, that was the first capital of Siam. People say that this is the cradle of Thai's civilization, and that it's the birthplace of Thai art, language, and even architecture. There are sites spread across the city, so it's fairly easy to find quiet, atmospheric spots to call your own, more or less. But the layers of beauty are mesmerizing. Crumbling walls, extensive foundations, oppressive pagodas, Buddha images in all sizes and poses. Number three, Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is the gateway to northern Thailand. A city with a population of over 1 million, but with a pleasant and calm atmosphere. This is easily my favorite place in Thailand. If Bangkok was a bit much, arriving in this comparatively green and quiet Chiang Mai can be a literal breath of fresh air. But you won't run out of religious shrines, because there are well over 500 temples to admire. The sacred Buddhist Wat is located at the top, amongst lush surroundings. It is not only an important temple, but it's revered throughout Thailand, with families coming to visit the site from every corner of the country. You can climb the serpent staircase to the temple, where you will be rewarded with a wholesome cultural experience and breathtaking views of the city below. Number four, Mae Hong Song. The northwest province of Mae Hong Song is one of Thailand's least populated and most diverse. The best way to explore it is to rent a scooter or motorbike in Chiang Mai, roughly costing around $10 per day. Then riding all the way around the Mae Hong Song loop, which takes roughly about four days minimum. The town of Mae Hong Song, with its mountain, lake and breathtaking views, really is a wonderful gem. Along with the local Northern Thai, several places make ideal stopovers include the tourist town of Pai. Number five, Bangkok. London, New York, Paris, they say the cities that doesn't sleep. But some tourists arrive in Bangkok believing it to be too chaotic, busy or stressful, immediately escaping straight to the islands. But I think this is a real shame because Bangkok is an amazing city to explore. With literally so many things to do, you could easily spend several days in the capital. The grand palaces make for a great first stop, or the palatial grounds in Bangkok, where the long nerve center of the Siamese kingdom. This vast complex is full of throne halls, royal residences and golden Buddhist temples. But nowadays, most of the court and temples are open to visitors. Yes, they can get very busy, but that's why you should consider an early morning visit. But the Thai capital is simply unmissable. Just remember, after dark, things are going to get seriously crazy. But that is the beauty of Bangkok. Number six, Chiang Rai, a city about a fifth of the size of Chiang Mai, located near Thailand's northern borders with Laos and Myanmar. While it was once a little off the beaten path, new flight connections to Chiang Rai have unlocked tourism to this city. But undoubtedly, one of the main reasons why travelers go to this city is the white temple. Truly impressive. Number seven, Koh Lanta. Another beautiful island to visit during your trip to Thailand, located around 70 kilometers to the south of Krabi or Krabi. Easily reach it by boat from Krabi or Phuket. But if you're looking for a Thai island with dazzling sandy beaches that are not too crowded, this is an excellent choice. The further away from port you go, the quieter it gets. And if you didn't know, Phi Phi Island got absolutely ruined by government tourism. I think in 2019, Maya Bay continues to stay closed indefinitely, as it's kind of necessary for nature to recover itself. So we have got to stop ******* up natural landscapes. There are numerous other islands on the western coast. So explore, go as far as you can and enjoy the serenity. Number eight, Khao Sok National Park. Khao Sok National Park is a nature reserve in southern Thailand, containing dense virgin jungle, tower-like limestone karst formations and a wonderful man-made lake. It's a fantastic place to go on vacation if you are an adventurer. Close and personal elephant encounters, jungle trekking on foot and canoeing are all possible activities which will give you the experience of a lifetime. One of the most interesting areas is this stunningly beautiful lake in the heart of the national park with its floating raft houses and luxury tents. Number nine, Koh Samui. Home to some of the best palm fringe beaches in Thailand and plenty of luxury resorts, Koh Samui has a lot more to offer than sunbathe in heaven. It's one of the most popular holiday spots in Thailand and it's home to mountainous rainforests, postcard-worthy beaches and breathtaking sunsets. So there are plenty of spas and temples to discover here, including the famous 12 meter tall Big Buddha. Koh Tao, I think, is a smaller island right off Koh Samui and is one of the prime scuba diving destinations in Thailand. A perfect island for you to enjoy. And lastly, number 10, Kanchanaburi. Best known for its dark connection to World War II, especially the construction of the bridge over the river Kwai. Infamous for being part of Death Railway, the bridge that was part of the line meant to connect Thailand with Burma. And it was built using forced labor provided by the allied prisoners of war. But nowadays it's possible to walk across the bridge on narrow side platforms or take the short train from one side to the other. Try to learn a little bit of the history and understand this particular area and why it was so important and still is to this day.
