With warm, clear water and a fascinating underwater world, Thailand is a favorite for divers and snorkelers. There are over 300 dive sites in the country. Colorful corals and a variety of tropical fish make for an unforgettable experience. 

Visit the temples

Temples offer insights into Buddhist traditions and are impressive works of art. Visiting a temple is a cultural must-do. Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai and Wat Chalong in Phuket are among the most remarkable temple complexes in Thailand. 

Explore the night markets  

When the sun sets, it's time for Thailand's famous night markets. Come with an empty stomach and sample a variety of delicacies like Pad Thai and crab curry. Besides local food, you'll find clothing, artwork, and souvenirs. 

Hop around the islands

A vacation in Thailand isn’t complete without visiting its stunning islands. Khao Lak is ideal for the Similan and Surin Islands. From Phuket, easily reach the Phi Phi Islands, and from Ko Samui, head to Ko Tao. All islands feature crystal-clear waters and breathtaking landscapes.

Ko Samui

Ko Samui is not only Thailand's second-largest island, but also its "biggest coconut plantation." Sip on a coconut on the sandy beach and swim in the turquoise sea. In the afternoon, visit the Na Muang Waterfall or the 12-meter-high Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai temple.
