Chiang Mai
Surrounded by the mountains of northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is a flourishing city often used as a base among tourists wishing to explore the lush landscapes, hill tribes and outdoor adventures of the region. Nevertheless, Chiang Mai itself is a large and culturally important city where historical and modern Thai architecture and traditions coexist. A walk around the historic center bestows views of old city walls and dozens of Buddhist temples. However, the most famous of these temples, Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, lies outside Chiang Mai on a mountainside overlooking the city.

The area is often used as a base by backpackers due to its location in the foothills of the mountains, but it’s also popular with people who want to stay in the town for a week or more.

Sukhothai Historical Park
Every traveller will find Sukhothai Historical Park to be both enchanting and nostalgic as the glorious complex of ruins can be attributed back to mid-13th to late-14th centuries during the famed Sukhothai Kingdom. This is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This historical park stretches across 17 square miles, so the best way to enjoy the scene and landscape is to get on a bicycle and to follow the road that leads to crumbling stupas and ever-calm Buddhas.
Kanchanaburi
This small city can be found sitting on the verge of a mountain range, Kanchanaburi is known for the cool climate it provides some people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This place is probably well-known for the River Kwai Bridge, which is part of Burma Railway.
Phuket
Known as Thailand’s largest island, Phuket is a total tourism magnet with its crystalline blue resorts and spas. People who go to Phuket usually want to just stay in the sun during daytime, and party with the locals and tourists alike. But Phuket does not stop there. If beaches and parties are not your thing, you may wish to learn Muay Thai. There are many gyms around the area that offer this from a day’s course to a month. Whatever floats your boat, Phuket has for sure something you.
