Thailand is a highly popular tourist
destination with a steadily growing
number of visitors.
With the
vast amount of sights to see in Thailand,
and places to visit, one might quickly get confused. What is "better"?
The south or the north?
Which Treks
should I do, or which is the
"best" beach? Should I visit the temples, the national reserves, the
waterfalls, and where is the best place for shopping?
What is
different between a Spa Treatment
and a normal Thai Massage?
The answers depend on the person
- one should try to define areas of interest first and then build a
travel itinerary accordingly.
This page
gives a brief description of the
highlights in Thailand to assist you in planning your perfect holiday.
