In the heart of Southeast Asia, Thailand offers an ideal setting for a totally exotic vacation. Between breathtaking landscapes, long beaches of fine sand, fabulous historical sites and tasty gastronomy, all your senses will be enchanted.
Bordered by the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea, the "Land of Smiles" has countless beautiful beaches. Who has never heard of Koh Lanta, Phuket or the Ko Phi Phi archipelago where the film The Beach was shot with Leonardo DiCaprio ? As beautiful and as well known, Pattaya beach extends over more than 4 kilometers and allows to devote itself to many activities : water skiing, jet-skiing, climbing parachute, beach volleyball... Nearby, south of Rayong, the coast is also enchanting but if you prefer to enjoy an island atmosphere, go to Ko Samui, in the south of the country. This island is simply paradise with its long white sandy beaches and beautiful seabed.
During your stay in Thailand, other places are essential. The first of them is certainly Bangkok. Exuberant and contrasting city, the capital of the Kingdom conceals innumerable treasures like the royal palace which shelters the emerald Buddha, emblem of the country. But also visit the temples of Wat Pho with its impressive reclining Buddha, Wat Traimit with its golden Buddha and Wat Saket which offers a beautiful panorama over the city. Then visit the Erawan Museum in the heart of a three-headed elephant statue and the Vimanmek Residence, the largest teak building in the world.
After this visit of the capital, discover the hinterland and in particular the province of Udon Thani, near the Laotian border. You can visit the Erawan cave and the archaeological site of Ban Chiang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Treat yourself to a boat cruise on the sea of red lotus, a lake that is covered, from December to March, with these beautiful sacred flowers. But also enjoy the beautiful temple of Wat Pa Phu Kon, with a beautiful blue roof and built after and around a gigantic statue of Buddha lying. During your various visits, take the time to take a few gourmet breaks to taste the local flavours : pad thaï, tom yam, curry massaman, sticky rice with mango...
