Thailand: Things To Do
Holidays
Bask in the glory Wat Phra Kaew
Located in the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Wat Phra Kaew is Thailand’s most sacred temple. It houses the national treasure Emerald Buddha statue along with hundreds of other centuries-old religious and historical artifacts.
Visit a Museum by Lek Viriyaphan
In Samut Prakan Province, right outside of Bangkok, you will find the museum of Ancient Siam. The world’s largest outdoor museum, it displays the architectural history of Thailand. 20 minutes away is the Erawan Museum, where you can enter a three-storey elephant statue and behold artifacts from ancient China and Buddhist relics. In Pattaya, you can see the Sanctuary of Truth, displaying wooden idols and sculptures that thematise feudal Thailand along with Buddhism and Hinduism.
Stroll around Phuket Old Town
When you are in Phuket, you can visit Phuket Old Town, a neighbourhood full of Sino-Portuguese buildings that were built as early as 18th century. Now, they serve as shops, restaurants, museums, and hotels. Among the most visited are The House of the Beautiful Images coffee shop, Thai Hua Museum, and China Inn Cafe and Restaurant.
Dive in Similan Islands National Park
A protected national park since 1982, Similan Islands are the best spot for scuba diving and exploring wildlife. From crystal-clear shallow waters that harbour exciting rock formations to spectacular coral reefs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Witness Loy Krathong
Every November, locals all around Thailand make krathong, buoyant baskets decorated and then let float on river canals to show gratitude to the Goddess of Water and River, Khongkha, or reverence to the Buddha. Behold the breathtaking displays of candles, fireworks, dance performances, and, of course, partake in the feast.
