Best Places to Visit in Thailand

  

Chiang Mai
#1 in Best Places to Visit in Thailand
Chiang Mai is a welcome reprieve from the commotion of Bangkok. Here, you’ll be treated to beautiful, mountainous landscapes and an Old City full of historical temples, such as Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang. Night markets are also a must-do in Chiang Mai, so pencil in time for the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar (one of Thailand’s oldest and most well-known night bazaars) and the Sunday Walking Street. And no matter what, leave time for a visit to Elephant Nature Park for some R&R with Thailand’s gentle giants.

 

  

Bangkok
#2 in Best Places to Visit in Thailand
Thailand’s capital city is nothing short of exhilarating. The city offers a hearty mix of big-city bustle and modern sights, such as the Jim Thompson House, alongside ancient attractions, including Wat Arun and Wat Pho. While here, be sure to visit the Chatuchak Weekend Market – one of the largest street markets in the world – and eat multiple meals at one of Bangkok’s 300,000 street food stalls. Just don’t forget to pack modest clothing for visits to sacred sites, or you won’t be admitted.
