Tourist Spots In Thailand #1:
Ao Phang Nga Bay National Marine Park is a beautiful vacation spot located just a little north east of Phuket, Thailand. Ao Phang Nga Bay is the home of James Bond Island (Ko Ta Poo) because the movie The Man With the Golden Gun was filmed here. Sea Gypsy Island (Koh Panyee) is a fishing village which is completely constructed on stilts.

The village has restaurants that serve the tourists brought across the bay by boat. There are over 120 small islands in the bay as well as many wonderful beautiful and deserted beaches which are accessible only by water.

The bay’s islands also hold a large number of caverns. These caves make for an exciting exploration trip. The way to explore them is in a guided two-passenger kayak. The openings to the caves are small so you must lie down in the kayak to fit through. But once inside the caverns open into hongs which are isolated island lagoons. The hongs are open to the sky and each one is a unique secluded little slice of tropical paradise.

Tourist Spots In Thailand #2:
Angthong National Marine Park is an excellent place to see the raw natural beauty of Thailand. This protected preserve is a collection of 42 small islands with virgin tropical rain forests, white sand beaches and coral reefs. The best way to see it is to take a tour based out of Samui. A popular stop is Koh Wua Talab Island where you can climb the 300 feet to the top of the central peak. It's an arduous climb but the incredible panoramic view is worth it.

Tourist Spots In Thailand #3:
Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand and is a great exotic getaway vacation idea. Coconut trees and beautiful beaches await you in this tropical paradise. There are a couple of nice waterfalls, Na Muang waterfall and Hin Lad waterfall. You can visit the 12 meter tall Buddha statue, Wat Phra Yai also known as Big Bhudda. There is plenty to do here such as bungee jumping at Chaweng, check out the butterflies at Butterfly Garden, watch Thaiboxing at The Lamai Stadium.

Tourist Spots In Thailand #4:
The Imperial Boat House, in Ko Samui, Thailand is a truly unique hotel. What sets the Imperial Boat House apart from the standard hotel is that the accommodations are teakwood rice barges that have been renovated into luxury suites. The barge/suites are sitting on the sand of Choeng Mon Beach which is an incredibly beautiful and unspoiled beach. This all makes for a wonderful tropical beach-style paradise vacation opportunity and it’s only a few miles from the airport. While staying here you can enjoy snorkeling, diving, swimming, windsurfing and canoeing.

Tourist Spots In Thailand #5:
An interesting vacation ideas to visit is the Mae Rim Buffalo Training Camp near Chiang Mai city in northern Thailand. The buffalo has been used for centuries to perform needed work on the farms but is rapidly being replaced by modern machinery.

The camp is dedicated to preserving the traditional way of life of the Thai farmer and the buffalo. You can watch as the buffaloes are trained to receive commands. See demonstrations of skill and dexterity as handlers mount and dismount the animals. Visit a traditional Thai farmhouse and take a ride on a buffalo. This is a great way to experience traditional Thai culture up close.
