Bangkok is the capital city of Thailand and on most travel itineraries. The city is a mix of old and new where sky scrapers and ancient temples co-exist. The city offers a lot of retail therapy, theme parks and shows for entertainment as well as a plethora of restaurants and rooftop bars. Day trips can be made to floating markets, summer places and other interesting places. Bangkok as a city does not bore, it offers an interesting mix of local life and touristy things to do. 

Mountains and forests of Thailand

Most people associate Thailand with islands and beaches, which it has a plenty of but Thailand also has beautiful forests and mountains full of wildlife and enchanting villages towards the north. Places like Chiang Mai have become more popular with tourists in the last few years as they offer a gateway to not just the natural beauty of Thailand but also to the culture, cuisine and festivals of the indigenous tribes and locals. 

Other places like Chiang Rai have fewer tourists. Then there are tiny villages which were once supposed to be secret villages of Thailand where few ventured but then turned into hippie heaven and yet, inspite of many dreadlocked white backpackers one can’t deny that these places are really beautiful with lovely caves and waterfalls to explore.

So if you are travelling to Thailand make sure you opt to add a dose of fresh mountain air, waterfalls and adorable elephants to your Thai holiday. Opt for a thai cooking class, go rafting, caving, bathe in waterfalls and visit mountaintop temples.
