Message from the Governor
Tourism Authority of Thailand
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is pleased to introduce
“Thailand Hotel Standards”. This is an exciting development for the
tourism industry in Thailand for tourists visiting the Kingdom.This new
programme aims to provide a consistent, dependable star rating of
one to five for hotels and resorts throughout the country.
Because Thailand is not only a premier tourist destination, but also a
year-round one, tourism is a major key to the Kingdom’s economy
and to many people’s holiday enjoyment. Being assured of obtaining
the type of accommodation the holiday-maker is seeking and that
guests know what a hotel offers is a win-win situation for the hoteliers
and tourists alike.
Thailand has various types of accommodation to suit everyone from
back-packers, business travellers, to those for whom only the most
luxurious settings will suffice. Whether visiting a golden temple or
white sandy beaches, the new star rating ensures that there is no
question regarding the quality or standard of service.

Message from the President
Thailand Hotel Standard Foundation
Thailand Hotel Standard Foundation plays a unique role in the promotion
and development of the country’s tourism industry. Since its establishment,
the objective is to raise the standard of the overall hotel business with
the aim to ensure uniform standardization used in Thailand is consistent
nationwide and aligned with international standards. In this context, the
hotel standard in Thailand has so far exceeded quality standards in view of
the fact that many hotels offer style, elegance and distinctive service and
design which have captured the attention of both Thai and foreign visitors.
When it comes to authentic Thai style hospitality, the hotels offer visitors
prestigious luxuries to choose from. There is a wide choice of hotel
accommodations throughout all the regions. Many hotels are located in the
heart of business and diplomatic districts within easy access to the vibrant
commercial centers, business venues, exotic beaches and lush green golf
courses. It is an opportunity for everyone to experience the superlative
comforts, superior amenities, specialty cuisine for which Thailand is known
all over the world and, above all, a special personal touch of Thai hospitality
that will make any visitor’s stay in this country a truly memorable occasion.
In terms of Thailand’s many diverse culture,activities and world class amenities it
offers a perfectly designed setting for the requirements of any event or conference.
The latest issue of Thailand Standard Hotels Directory 2011 is for ease of
reference and I hope you will find it useful in planning your trip to any part
of this amazing land.

THA thus began a pilot project to standardize
a r ating system for hotels in Thailand.
Subsequently the THA asked for the assistance
of ATTA (Association of Thai Travel Agents), and
developing a Thailand Hotel Standard became a
joint project of THA, TAT and ATTA. The initial
task force assigned to draft the Thailand Hotel
Standard was established with personnel of the
above-mentioned organizations plus personnel
from large and small hotels throughout the
Kingdom, with the actual drafting of the
“Thailand Hotel Standard” being given to Mrs.
Piyaman Kanathanavanich
Two laws that impacted the work of this pilot
project were passed in 2002. These were the
Public Administration Acts 2002 (5th issue) and
the Ministries and Departments Reform Act
2002. One result of these laws was the official
establishment of the Ministry of Tourism and
Spor ts. Two fur ther impacts on the Thailand
Hotel Standards Project were the two following
Royal Decrees: The Royal Decree of Official
Transference of the Administration, Authority
and Function of Governmental Organizations
in Accordance with “The Reform Acts of
Ministries and Depar tments” 2002 and The
Royal Decree of Reform Acts concurring
with the transference of official authority of
all government organizations. These laws and
decrees resulted in Hotel Standards becoming
the top priority of the Office of Tourism
Development. Prior to this, the Hotel Act
of BE 2478 (1935) provided the legislative
framework and regulatory provisions under
which hotels in the Kingdom operated.
The information-gathering phase of the
project was carried out in 2002 and 2003.
Sixty hotels were sur veyed. Information
was solicited concerning the standard of
construction and facilities, the standard of
maintenance and the standard of services. “The
Foundation of Standard and Human Resources
Development in Service and Tourism Industry”
was established to oversee the administration
and certification process. This is a non-profit
organization representing both the public
and private sectors. The first major step in
the Thailand Hotel Standards project was
accomplished in March 2004 when 84 hotels
throughout Thailand voluntarily par ticipated
in the Kingdom’s first ever hotel standard
certification program. Each of these 84 hotels
was given a star rating of one to five, with five
being the highest available rating. There were
116 participating hotels and resorts in the star
rating program as of September 2005.
The History of Thailand Hotel Standard
Developing a system of hotel standards in Thailand began as a desire of the
Thailand Hotel Association (THA) and as a desire of the Tourism Authority of
Thailand (TAT). In 1999, Mr. Chanin Donavanik of the THA and Mr. Pradech
Phayakvichien of TAT initiated the project of developing a “World Class
Standard” for Thailand’s tourism industry. The goal was to establish and
meet these standards by the year 2012.
The work of the initial project is complete.
Official standards have been established,
including a point system for each area of
concern for each of the five ratings, but the
work of the foundation continues as more
hotels apply for cer tification and previously
certified hotels are recertified or apply for an
additional star. Currently there are 16 five-star
hotels, 18 four-star hotels, and 14 three-star
hotels in Bangkok. In Chiang Mai there is one
five-star hotel, 5 four-star hotels, and 4 threestar hotels. There are five-star hotels in Chiang
Rai, Phuket, Pattaya, Prachuab Khiri Khan, and
Surat Thani, and four-star hotels in Ayutthaya,
Chiang Rai, Pattaya, Krabi, Loei, Phetchaburi,
Phuket, Surat Thani, Khon Kaen, Pattani and
Songkhla.
As more hotels choose to take advantage of
the Hotel Standard System, the hotels and their
customers alike will benefit from the work
of the foundation. The above-mentioned goal
of achieving a Kingdom-wide system of hotel
ratings by 2012 seems very achievable.

Thai Hotel Standard Foundation
World tourists are familiar with star rating systems for hotels, restaurants and
frequented tourist sites. As tourism is a major sector of the Thai economy and as the
hotel business is one of the most important sectors of the tourism industry, setting a
consistent standard for hotels and resorts has long been a concern of the Thai tourism
industry. The first step in this direction was taken in March 2004, when 84 hotels
voluntarily participated in the country’s first ever hotel certification program.
The Thailand Hotel Standard is a nonprofit
foundation and a joint endeavor of private and
public sectors. The organization’s full, official name is:
The Foundation of Standard and Human Resource
Development in Service and Tourism Industry. The
Hotel Standard Certifying Committee is comprised
of ten persons: the Director-General of the Office
of Tourism Development, the Governor of Tourism
Authority of Thailand, a representative (president
or vice president) of ATTA (Association of Thai
Travel Agents), a representative of the associations
of domestic tourism, one public university member
and one private university member from Faculty of
Tourism (hotel curriculum), the President of THA
(Tourism Authority of Thailand), the Secretar y
General of THA, the Chairman of Membership of
THA, and the Vice President of THA.
Recognizing that Thailand’s competitive potential
in international tourism could be enhanced by
establishing a “precise, accurate and reliable”
hotel standard, it was decided that adopting
an internationally recognized practice of hotel
standards and cer tification was an impor tant
step. European models provided the conceptual
framework for the current Thai Hotel Standard and
are based on the “star rating” concept that already is
familiar to international travelers.
The guidelines for creating the Thai Hotel Standard
included several key policies: a clear and accurate
classification standard, transparent and verifiable
criteria, re-evaluation must result in a consistent
standard, the standard is protection for both the
hotel and its customers, and cer tification of standard
is open to all hotels with or without membership
in THA.
As with any industr y, competition makes for
improvement. By establishing a rating system,
hotels wishing to be given an additional star in
their rating must compete and raise standards
to achieve this goal. The result is better services
for tourists and a clear understanding of the
services and characteristics of competitor hotels.
This healthy competition encourages not only a
higher quality of service, but also a higher quality of
management.
In order to receive a star rating of from one to five
stars, with five being the highest standard, hotels
are given points for three aspects – standard of
construction and facilities, standard of maintenance
and standard of ser vices. Any hotel must achieve
above the minimum
number of points in all three categories for any
specific star rating. As more hotel owners and
operators become aware of the benefits of a star
rating by the Thailand Hotel Standard, participation
will increase, thus the overall standards will improve
what is already an excellent service industry.
To ensure that both local and international travelers
are aware of the Thailand Hotel Standard program, a
guide to the participating hotels has been produced
and is being distributed worldwide. A hotel’s
certification is displayed either at the entrance in the
lobby in the form of a certificate or plaque. Certified
hotels are being promoted by the TAT and the travel
industry.
Confidence in Thailand as a world-class tourist
destination and endeavoring to make Thailand the
“Tourism Capital of Asia” are worthy goals. To that
end the Thai Hotel Standard is pursuing the goal of
complete certification throughout the industry by
the end of 2012. Amazing Thailand has just become
more amazing.

Thailand Hotel Standard
Goals and Objectives
The Thai Hotel Standard committe e is
entrusted with the task of developing a
model for star rating certification of hotels in
Thailand. While based on the internationally
accepted European model of star ratings, the
ultimate goal is to ensure Thailand’s place on
the world stage of international tourism and
at the forefront of Asian tourism. In an effort
to raise overall hotel standards throughout
the Kingdom, the Thai Hotel Standard has
adopted several official objectives and goals.
The six major objectives of Thailand Hotel Standard are:
To establish a tangible and reliable hotel standard. Many
tourists have said to themselves, “It’s a three-star hotel,
how bad can it be?” only to discover that three-star can
mean anything in certain places. Thailand wishes its tourists
to have a clear understanding and no disappointments with
the standard of hotel they are reserving.
To promote superior service, efficient administration and
efficient and effective utilization of natural resources. The
world can no longer use resources without consideration
for the sustainability of those resources or for the
consequences to the environment. Luxury does not have
to be denied, but eco-friendly tourism is also required.
To develop a set of standards that accurately reflects the
physical characteristics of a property and offers a clear
indicator if its “marketing value”. Tourists and hoteliers alike
have the right to know they are being fairly treated and
that marketing is accurate and beneficial.
To encourage fair practice and equally protect consumers
as well as hotels. This is a further safeguard throughout the
tourism industry.
To raise awareness of the ongoing development of the
Thailand Hotel Standard. Travel agents worldwide need to
be aware that there is a reliable and accurate star rating
system in place.
To build a firm foundation and promote the sustainable
growth of the Thai hotel industry. Improving this sector of
the tourism industry is vital to economic growth.
The Thailand Hotel Standard also has five major goals.
1.) Align local standards to international standards to raise
hotel standards in Thailand overall.
2.) Promote competition within the Thai hotel industry
while creating a higher standard of ser vice and
management.
3.) Encourage hotel par ticipation in the program
throughout Thailand.
4.) Inspire international acceptance and confidence in
Thailand’s hotels.
5.) Raise awareness both nationally and internationally of
Thailand’s certification of hotels, star ratings.
Building standards throughout the tourism industry, builds
Thailand. Hotels are the “stars” of the industry.

Hotel Ratings’ Benefits to the Industry
Whenever any new system is implemented, questions arise as to why it is necessary
and what are the benefits. This is a normal part of human nature and a necessary one.
Questions require answers that require thoughtful consideration. The Thailand Hotel
Standard, being recently introduced, may cause hoteliers, the hospitality industry in
general and tourists to ask, “Why is this important to me?” There are several benefits
to this star rating system, for the certified hotels, for the hotel / hospitality industry in
general and for the tourist.
Hoteliers can benefit tremendously from the
Thailand Hotel Standard. Independent hotels,
in par ticular, but large name brand luxur y
hotels also benefit from a standard definition
of “quality service”. The hotel industry is highly
competitive.The star system is a clear indication
of the services a hotel offers and what services
are required for an additional star rating. It also
is of comparison value with other hotels. By
striving for excellence and a higher standard
of cer tification, the value of products and
services can only increase. This is a win-win
situation for all. Efficiency in management and
administration not only increases the quality
of the product, but also reduces investment,
leading to more efficiency. Because the hotel
standard system is designed to be fair and
transparent, hoteliers can better understand
the current market, develop the physical
characteristics of the proper ty and meet
customers’ needs. Possibly of greatest value to
certified hoteliers is the opportunity for public
relations and advertisement through Thailand
Hotel Standard.
For the hotel industr y in general there are
additional benefits. Information based partially
on staff efficiently aids in developing internal
and external education programs for hotel
personnel. By stressing efficient use of human
and natural resources, the goal of sustainable
growth can be met. Hotels do not want
disgruntled customers and customers do not
want substandard accommodations. The star
rating system ensures both the hotel and the
guests know what is being offered and what
is being paid for. Thailand’s reputation as an
international travel destination partially depends
on developing a standard of hygiene, safety and
service. Standardization eliminates the variables,
making tourism more viable. This also applies
to having standards to which a tourist can refer
and that are accepted as true and accurate.
Most impor tantly, because Thailand Hotel
Standard disseminates information worldwide,
the entire industr y benefits from positive
publicity due to higher, consistent standards.
Tourists benefit anytime standards are set and
met. Tourists will continue to choose Thailand
as a destination when their expectations are
guaranteed.

What are the benefits to the customer? Because
the Thailand Hotel Standard Foundation will be
the only organization bestowing ratings, in Thailand
the standard for ever y three-star hotel will be
the same. Unlike Europe or the United States of
America, where regional organizations rather than
national organizations sometimes make a rating
determination, Thailand will offer a consistent
standard. The greatest benefit to the customer is
knowing exactly what is being paid for and being
able to choose the type of accommodation that
best suits.
Hotel Ratings’ Benefits to Consumer
When booking a hotel, most tourists, business travelers and holidaymakers have a certain standard that they require
and can afford. Knowing whether one is actually going to receive the required standard at a previously unvisited hotel
can be tricky. Star ratings, a relatively new officially applied policy of the Thailand Hotel Standard Foundation, aim to
ensure that customers benefit from a consistent definition of standards.
What can one expect from each level?
A one-star hotel is strictly economy. This does not
mean substandard, ill kept or dirty. It simply means
the basics – a clean comfortable bed with a shower
and toilet – are all that are provided. Breakfast is not
included; there is no weight room or even an on site
eatery. A reasonable restaurant is generally within
walking distance. Usually the hotel will be managed
and operated by the owner, so service could be
more personalized.
A two-star rating obviously will provide a higher
standard, but still limited amenities. Often part of
a chain of hotels, the rooms will be small or midsized and will provide a television and telephone. A
serviceable restaurant will be located on sight, but
most likely will not offer 24/7 service.
Three-star hotels are moderately priced, comfortable
and adequate.They will not offer the luxury of a four
or five-star hotel, but this is the range that those
looking for room service, in room movies, a fitness
center, a swimming or internet connections should
explore. These hotels will be located in business and
shopping areas of a city and will have a restaurant
serving all three meals.
If luxury is important, four-star hotels will provide
top-notch service. Not personalized, like the ownermanaged hotels, nevertheless, all needs should be
met with above average service. Usually located
in dining, shopping and entertainment areas, these
hotels are more formal and usually much larger with
similar level hotels nearby. Rooms will be attractively
furnished and one can expect valet service, room
ser vice, a choice of restaurants, fitness center,
swimming pool and in room amenities and toiletries.
For the tourist who probably has looked at
websites and travel guides that assign their own
ratings to hotels, being able to check those
ratings against a definitive standard in Thailand’s
hotels is a tremendous benefit. No longer is
the tourist at the mercy of guessing what it means
when a website says three stars while a travel guide
says two stars for the same establishment. The
Thailand Hotel Standards Foundation is endeavoring
to offer each and every customer the assurance of
knowing exactly what a three-star hotel will offer. It
further assures that the standard will be maintained
for the customer’s next visit due to its recertification
policy.
If only the best of the best will suit, a tr ue
five-star luxury hotel awaits. These are generally the
highest end chains or boutique hotels that come
with a premium payment. Style, elegance and a high
degree of personal service characterize these hotels.
A choice of gourmet
dining venues, a VCR, CD stereo, 24/7 room service,
along with all the features of a four-star hotel will
be on offer.

Thailand Standard Levels
Everyone knows that a five-star hotel has a higher level of service and
accommodations than a three-star hotel. But what exactly does that mean?
In Thailand, the Thailand Hotel Standard has adopted the internationally
recognized 1 through five star system for hotels and resorts. They are in
ascending order of excellence from one at the lowest and five at the highest.
The star system defines the qualities and
characteristics of the hotel. The three broad
areas that are defined by the star system are: the
standard of construction and facilities, the standard
of maintenance, and the standard of services.
Further considerations include the location and
surroundings, as every restaurateur and hotelier
will acclaim the three keys to success are location,
location, and location. The physical structure and
security system are important. Guests must both be
comfortable and feel they and their possessions are
secure. Handicapped friendly access is increasingly
important in the global society. Hotels have guests
that rent rooms and guests that use other facilities
and services such as restaurants, bars and business
centers. The variety, esthetics and quality of all of
these services are factors in determining a star rating.
One of the first questions many potential hotel
guests ask concerning a hotel is, “How clean is it?”
Standards of hygiene along with helpfulness and
friendliness of staff greatly enhance the standard of
a hotel. It is not enough to build good facilities; the
facilities must be maintained. An ongoing system
designed to maintain standards is essential.
Generally speaking, a one-star hotel is for the
budget traveler. It is expected to be clean,
basic accommodation, with no frills. Two-star
establishments are best described as limited
service hotels. Accommodations are basic and
clean while some business services may be
offered. The rooms usually include private
bath, telephone and TV. Three-star hotels
tend to emphasize style, comfort and service.
The tourist may expect to find on-site dining,
a swimming pool, conference rooms and
business services. Some will have fitness centers
and gift shops. If paying for four-star accommodation,
the tourist can expect a fine-dining restaurant,
bar/lounge, up-to-date technology services,
full amenities and detail to style and comfor t.
Obviously, five-star hotels offer the finest
luxury appointments. Superlative service and
style are a must. Architecture and design are
of the greatest importance as is the finest in
furnishings and abundance of space. Expect tennis
courts, pools, fine-dining options and more.
Tourists should keep in mind that one-star does not
mean inadequate. It means basic. Five-star definitely
means luxury.

Major Factors Determining
Hotel Standards
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one person’s esthetic perfection might be
another person’s esthetic nightmare. So how and what is considered when determining a
hotel’s star rating? What questions are asked and who does the asking? There are major
factors to consider for each hotel and resort.
Onsite inspections are conducted by both a
central and regional unit from the Thailand
Hotel Standard. Each inspection is conducted
by no less than 4 persons representing a
minimum of three organizations. The criteria for
standards have been approved by the Thailand
Hotel Standard Task Force.
The inspecting units will first consider then
general physical aspects of the property. Is this
a site that is easy to find and requires a minimum
of travel time from a point of entry, i.e. airport, train
station, etc.? Are the surroundings conducive to a
pleasant stay? Factors such as noise and air pollution
must be considered as does standing/ stagnant
water, grounds and access to public transport.
Construction of the physical structure must be
taken into account. Can unauthorized individuals
gain access to rooms without passing through
a public space? Are elevators secure? Are there
adequate safety facilities such as fire alarms, fire
exits, sprinkler systems and guards? Facilities and
service are what hotels and resorts are all about.
Will a dining experience be comfortable and
esthetically pleasing as well as offering great food?
Are accommodations made for special diets? Do
the rooms feature amenities and pleasant/ stylish
décor or are they merely functional? What other
services are provided? Valet parking? Fitness center?
Concierge service? Swimming pool? Are the child
facilities friendly? Are there baby-sitting services?
What technology services are supplied? Wi-fi? Free
Internet? Is there a choice of dining venues? Is there
a bar/ lounge?
Thailand Hotel Standard is sustainable growth in the
hotel industry. The environment matters in today’s
global world.
Often the first impression a tourist has of a hotel
or resor t is the doorman. Is the staff cour teous,
helpful and friendly? Does the staff speak a variety of
languages to accommodate international travelers?
Are tourists to Thailand truly experiencing “The
Land of Smiles”? Cleanliness and hygiene cannot be
over emphasized.
It is not enough to achieve a star rating, it must
also be maintained. Continued staff training and
evaluation along with efficiency in management and
resources are a priority. One of the major goals of

Tourism in Thailand
Tourism is a major part of the Thai economy with 13.5 million visitors in
2009 and with tourism accounting for 6.5% of the nation’s gross domestic
product. It is Thailand’s single largest foreign-exchange earner. According to
the “World Tourism Rankings”, Thailand was the 18th most visited country in
2007. In the 2008, according to Euromonitor International’s list of “Top City
Destinations”, Bangkok ranked third behind London and New York.
In 2010 foreign tourist arrivals increased almost
14% from January to June. Almost 49% of all visitors
came from East Asia, the three main groups being
Malaysian, Japanese and Chinese. European visitors
were second, with majority visitors from the UK,
Germany and Russia. Seventy percent of visitors
from the America’s are United Stated citizens.
Indians are the largest group of tourists from South
Asia, while the fastest growing sector of tourists is
from the Middle East.
The popularity of Thailand as a tourist destination
is most often attributed to its diversity. In terms of
landscape, Thailand offers mountains, valleys, plains,
jungle, cities and beaches. Because Thailand has
never been colonized it offers the tourist a unique
oppor tunity to experience a mostly unchanged
Asian culture that is rich in diversity. While mostly
Buddhist, other influences include the Chinese and
the Islamic southern regions. Architecture, temples,
food and nightlife all reflect this diversity.
D u e to i ts e ve r i n c r e a s i n g s ta n da r d s , th e
hospitality industry in Thailand offers the perfect
accommodations and services for every type of
traveler, from the budget backpacker, to the business
class travel through to the very top end luxury
traveler. Its nightlife is legendary, as is its food.
By far the biggest tourist attraction in Thailand is its
people. Thailand is rightfully known as the “Land of
Smiles”. The Thai people make the Thai experience
special. Westerners often learn a new definition of
tranquility.
Thailand is a preferred destination on its own. It
is also the star ting point and returning point for
many tourists doing a wider tour of South East Asia.
Thailand is perfectly situated for travel to Malaysia,
Vietnam, Myanmar, Singapore, Cambodia and Laos.
Many new initiatives are endeavoring to ensure
that the tourism industry of Thailand experiences
increasing yet sustainable growth. To this end Green
Leaf is certifying hotels and other tourist institutions
as ecologically friendly. The Thailand Hotel Standard
is certifying quality of hotels using the European star
rating model.
Thailand is “Amazing”. It deserves its well earned
reputation as a preferred tourist destination.

of the winter months are avoided. No matter
when one visits Thailand, it is a good time. The
average temperature range throughout the
Kingdom varies from 15 degrees to 37 degrees
centigrade. While there is a rainy season, it can
rain any time of year and never rains constantly.
Why choose Thailand as a holiday destination?
The Kingdom has just about anything any
tourist could wish for. The food is fantastic and
varied. It is possible to experience another
culture and even several different cultures while
still having the comforts of home. Swimming,
beaches, water spor ts, island shopping are
all year round attractions. Museums, temples,
historical buildings and unique architecture
abound. Orchids, butterflies, and a further wide
range of flora and fauna can be experienced
by nature lovers. There are hills and mountains
in the nor th, tropical jungle, mangroves and
pristine white sand beaches. Not only can the
tourist experience Thailand today, but also the
ancient sights of Ayutthaya, Sukhothai and Si
Satchanalai beckon.
When to Visit Thailand
Like any popular tourist destination, Thailand has a “high season” and a “low
season”. In reality there is no best time to visit Thailand. Even the rainy season
is no real deterrent, as unlike sub-Saharan Africa, the rain is not constant. It
comes and goes and even cools things down, making the heat much more
tolerable. The rainy season is roughly July through October.
A traveler to Thailand should consider what one wishes
to travel to and what one wishes to travel away from.
Avoiding extreme winter weather in North America
and Europe accounts a great deal for Thailand’s “high
season”, roughly November through March. For the
budget traveler this may not be the best time as, of
course, prices are higher and tourist attractions are
more crowded.
No matter what time of year one comes to Thailand,
conditions are perfect somewhere in the Kingdom.
If one’s destination is Central Thailand and the East,
November to mid February is best. If the destination is
the beaches on the east coast – Pattaya, Rayong, or Koh
Chang - the best time is December to May.
If headed to the old Lanna Kingdom of Nor thern
Thailand and to the Northeast, it should be noted that
winter temperatures sometimes reach zero degrees
centigrade in the mountains. It, however, is still the
best time to visit (November through February). For
those interested in experiencing the Thai New Year
or Songkran in all its modern raucous glory and in its
traditional glory, Northern Thailand in April is a must.
Just keep in mind that it is a water festival and you will
be drenched.
season and rainy season. If the islands of the Andaman
Sea are the preferred destinations mid November
through April are best. East of the Thai peninsula, the
destinations of Koh Samui and Hat Yai are best visited
from December to June.
Bargain hunters should consider visiting Thailand
from June through September. There are some great
discount deals for the budget traveler and the crowds
Two further reasons to visit Thailand include
golf and nightlife. Thailand is referred to
as the “golf paradise of Asia”. There are
several championship courses throughout the
Kingdom. Two favorite golf destinations are
Phuket and Hua Hin. Phuket has been host to
the Johnny Walker Classic while Hua Hin just
hosted the Europe versus Asia competition.
Thailand is renowned for the variety and
abundance of its nightlife.
Thailand is a perfect destination year round.
While the other regions of Thailand experience
three seasons – summer, rainy and winter – Southern
Thailand really only has two seasons – summer

Bangkok
Only In Bangkok
Local Knowledge:
Bangkok has three spectacular rooftop restaurants:
Vertigo, the stunning open-air al fresco bar, 61 floors
up in the Banyan Tree Hotel on Sathorn Road is a great
place to dine, but be careful when the wind kicks up.
Sirocco, 65 floors up, at the top of the State Tower at
the bottom of Silom Road is another spectacular openair spot to take a loved one for a romantic evening. And
Red Sky, sitting 56 floors up on the Centara Grand, has
succulent cuisine and its open-air happy hour is a great
way to see the city.
Public Transport – There is a BTS Skytrain and MRT
Underground rail systems that provide easy accessibility
to shopping, entertainment and business areas. There
are express boats and river taxis that can be used to
see cultural and riverside attractions. Taxis, buses, BRT
(Bus Rapid Transit), tuk tuks, and motorcycle taxis are
other alternatives. The new Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail
Link connects the airport to central Bangkok.
Area Code – 02 is the local area code used to dial to
Bangkok
Seasons – Bangkok can be visited anytime,
although it can be hot throughout the year.
The coolest and driest months to visit are
November to February. April is hot and dry
with the rains beginning in May and continuing
until October.
Getting There
It is if all the smells, tastes and sounds
of Thailand converge in Bangkok,
the country’s Capital, and one of
the most cosmopolitan cities in the
world. Whether you are browsing
at Chatuchak (the world’s largest
outdoor market), visiting some
of Bangkok’s famous temples, or
partaking in the nightlife at Patpong,
Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza you will
never be bored in Bangkok.
The city’s expressways, subway and Skytrain systems
make it easy to get around and Bangkok’s wide selection
of fine restaurants make it a food lover’s delight.
Bangkok’s proper name is, “Krungthep mahanakhon
amonratanakosin mahintra ayuthaya mahadilok
popnopparat ratchathani burirom udomratchithaniwet
mahasathan amonpiman avansathit sakkathattiya
witsanukamprasit”. It’s a mouthful, but ask a Thai student
to recite it for you and they will, they must learn it in
school.
Film buffs can delight in the number of world-class
theatres Bangkok has – there’s a cineplex in every
major mall. The movies turn over quick quickly and few
cities stage more film festivals than Bangkok does. The
city regularly hosts a number of plays, operas, musicals
and ballet performances and if you are a historical buff
the National Museum, the Vimanmek Teak Museum,
the Royal Barges Museum and the Grand Palace will
keep you busy.
Jim Thompson’s House is also usually a must visit for
anyone travelling to Bangkok. The man who brought
Thai silk to the world disappeared without a trace
in the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia back in 1967.
And if you are into snakes, then you should visit the
Snake Farm at the Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute,
where you can watch daily milkings and feedings of
the reptiles.
Bangkok is truly a shopper’s cornucopia: star ting at
the Emporium on Sukhumvit Road, then moving
west you’ll find Central Chitlom, Gaysorn and Amarin
Plazas, Central World Plaza, Siam Paragon (featuring an
IMAX theatre and Siam Ocean World), and the Siam
Discovery Centre - all within short Skytrain distance
of one another. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better
selection of high-class shopping malls in any other city
in Southeast Asia.
Almost all major airlines fly into Suvanabhumi,
Bangkok’s international airport. Don Muang, the
old international airport, situated across town
still services some domestic flights. And a rapid
transit link has just opened up making getting
back and forth from Suvanabhumi into the city
that much easier.
Thailand’s train system, originating out of the
Bangkok terminus, Hualampong, covers almost
of the whole countr y except for the area
around Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi and Ranong,
where no track was ever laid.
Bangkok has three major train stations: Ekamai
(covering Pattaya, the Eastern Seaboard, and
some spots in the east) Sai Dai (covering al
points west & south) and Mochit (covering all
points north & northeast).

Northern Thailand
Many come to Mae Hong Son to get a glimpse of the
Padauang or “long-necked” women, the majority of
who live in the village of Nai Soi, 35km northwest of
town. The coil around their neck can weigh between
5-22kg and stretch up to 30cm long and there is a
long running debate as to their exploitation for tourist
purposes.
Chiang Mai, the hub of the north,
and Thailand’s second largest city
is the former capital of the ancient
Lanna kingdom. The Night Bazaar,
a shopper’s cornucopia, and Doi
Suthep, a temple sixteen kilometres
outside of town that provides
magnificent views of Chiang Mai, are
favourites spots for tourists. The old
town itself is surrounded by a moat
and its ancient temples and history
lend itself to great walking tours.
Many superb five-star resorts and hotels such as the
Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, and the Four Seasons
Chiang Mai have opened in and around Chiang Mai
proper. The city has an international airpor t and a
number of budget airlines service it domestically.
Along the west bank of the Ping River, just north of
the Nawarat Bridge lies a trendy area featuring the
Good View, Gallery and Riverside eateries, all are
worth a gander as is the nightclub La Brasserie. And
Nimanhemin Road has become a hot spot for trendy
furnishings and design items for up-market homes and
villas. For the kids, the Chiang Mai Night Safari with its
wide selection of animals is a big hit.
Songkran, or Buddhist New Year, has a history of being
wet, wild and wholly in Chiang Mai as everybody just
gets into a gigantic water fight for three or four days
in mid-April.
Chiang Mai has long been known for its elephant
camps and treks and 100 km south, just outside of
Lampang, lies the Elephant Conser vation Centre,
where you can learn to be a mahout, and the world’s
first elephant hospital, run by Soraida Salwala. Lampang
is the only town in Thailand to still offer horse-drawn
carts as a mode of transportation.
South of Lampang lies Sukhothai, the country’s first
capital and home to Sukhothai (meaning the Dawn
of Happiness” and Si Satchannalai-Chaliang National
Parks, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Bangkok
Airways flies to Sukhothai and it’s a 5-6 hour bus ride
from Bangkok, or it can be accessed from the nearby
train station in Phitsanuloke.
And if you happen to be near Pichit in early September
check out their annual long-boat races, which are always
good fun for the entire family.
Doi Inthanon (Thailand’s highest mountain), situated in
a national park, is a popular day-trip destination and a
favourite for birdwatchers and naturalists because of
its many species of plants, animals and birds. Nearby,
the meditation retreat at Wat Phra That Si Chom
Thong is quite popular and draws students from all
over Thailand and around the world. The circular drive
from Chiang Mai, past Chom Thong, the entrance to
Doi Inthanon, Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son, through
Pai back to Chiang Mai is also quite interesting. And
a couple hours south of Mae Sariang in the Mae Sot
area lie a number of Karen & Burmese refugee camps,
where many volunteers have offered their services
over the years.
Chiang Rai is itself a much more laid back town than
Chiang Mai. Traffic jams are not a major concern yet
and it still has that small-town feel to it. Trains don’t
run to Chiang Rai, but domestic airlines and a busy
bus network service it.
From Chiang Rai, you can visit the old Kuomintang
sanctuary of Mae Salong, now a hill station, teaming
with tea plantations, and providing wonderful views
of the surrounding countryside. If you get a chance to
do this trip by motorbike, by all means do as you will
find it an exhilarating experience. A short trip away
from Mae Salong is Doi Tung and the Queen Mother’s
Mae Fah Luang Foundation with its beautifully tended
gardens.
A little north of Chiang Saen, lies the Golden
Triangle where Burma, Laos and Thailand meet
at the junction of the Mekong and Nam Ruak
Rivers.
Further south and a nice spot to relax for a
few days is Chiang Khong. Across the river from
this town in Laos lies Huay Xai, where you can
take a longtail boat or ferry to Luang Prabang
(the whole town is a UNESCO World Heritage
site). Chiang Khong is also a major conduit for
goods moving between Thailand and China.
The temperatures tend to be cooler in Chiang
Mai and the north, so check the weather before
you go and be prepared to bring some chilly
weather gear.
The tourist infrastructure is back in place. And
the panorama from the viewpoint atop Phi
Phi Don overlooking Ao Ton Sai and Ao Lo
Dalam is still one of the most photographed
in the region.

Northeastern Thailand
The Northeast (or Isarn) is known for its
friendly people, who make up the bulk
of Thailand’s service industry. The area
has an extensive network of ancient
Khmer temples, the most impressive
being Phanom Rung (the largest and
best restored Khmer temple in Thailand),
Prasat Khao Phra Wihan (located on the
Cambodian border) and Phimai (located
just outside of Nakhon Ratchasima, or
Korat, as it is called by locals).
Khao Yai, which is Thailand’s oldest and most famous
national park, is situated an hour outside of Korat
and is a great place to see varied and many species
of wildlife. There is accommodation in the park
and nearby Pak Chong also has a number of small
resorts.
Further north, the hike to the high-altitude peak
of Phu Kradung in Loei Province, one of the most
photographed spots in Thailand, is a great adventure.
Ubon Ratchathani’s Candle (Buddhist Lent in July),
the Naga Fireballs near Nong Khai and the Yasothorn
Rocket Festival (in late May) are also worth a look, if
you happen to be in country at the time.
hour away.The sculptures in the Sala Kaew Sculpture
Park, just outside of Nong Khai are bizarre and
fascinating and worth a visit.
The best way to travel to Isarn’s ancient temples
and national parks is to rent a car and/or a driver,
especially if you want to visit Prasat Khao Phra
Wihan. This temple provides a spectacular outlook
over the plans of northwest Cambodia from the cliff
of the Dongrek escarpment.
The residents of Nakhon Pathom celebrate Loy
Krathong by building 6-metre longboats out of
bamboo and banana bark. The boats are then
elaborately adorned and paraded through the
streets, then at night they are illuminated and
launched into the Mekong River.
Khon Kaen is the centre of the northeastern silk
industry with numerous villages producing their
own mudmee designs. One town in par ticular,
Chonnabot , is known for producing high-quality silk.
Every December the city hosts a Silk Fair, where all
the local villagers bring their best wares to market.
Surin is a probably most famous for its elephant
roundup, held ever y November where the
pachyderms do everything from playing football to
taking part in beauty contests. The elephants walking
the streets of Bangkok tend to be rented out by
families from the Surin area.
The remmants of a civilisation dating back 7,500
years can be found in Ban Chiang, about 50km east of
Udonthani. Over 50 human skeletons can be seen in
the excavation pit along with many pieces of pottery.
The museum on site gives a fine historical record of
the Ban Chiang era.
The nor theast is famous for its spicy Thai salad
(somtam), grilled spicy chicken (gai yang) and grilled
insects, yes grilled insects. The region is Thailand’
poorest and suffers from bad drought at times, but
it does have a rich and fascinating history, which
included US air bases in Korat, Ubon Ratchathani
and Udonthani during the Vietnam War.
The town of Nong Khai has surprisingly been a
popular spot for Western retirees to settle down
in. From there, you can zip over the Thai-Laos
Friendship bridge into Laos, Vientiane is only a half-

Nonthaburi is situated on the banks of Chao Phraya
River. This province has fertile soil good for growing
fruits and flowers. There are also many historical
sites in this area. Located just 20 kilometres from
Bangkok, Nonthaburi can be reached by car or by
boat. The temples that can be found here are Wat
Amphawan which houses a wooden Ho Trai Kiang
Nam (a hall for keeping a scripture by a pond), Wat
Sao Thong Thong, built in the Ayutthaya period; it has
a beautiful Thai-style golden cone above the Buddha
image, and Wat Khema Phirataram located by the
river. Koh Kret, a tiny island by the Chao Phraya River,
is famous for its fine, red-glazed pottery.
Central Thailand
About an hour outside of Bangkok
sits Ayutthaya Historical Park, a
former Thai capital and UNESCO
World Heritage site. Renting a
bicycle is the best way to see these
ancient ruins, some of which are
spectacularly lit up at night.
Close by is the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and a fun
way to visit Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In is by going up
the Chao Phraya River in a refurbished rice barge.
River taxi is also a good way to see Bangkok – as many
commuters still take these express boats to work every
day and you can rent long-tail boats to tour the many
canals that shoot off from the main river. A little further
north (or a seven-hour bus ride) lie Sukhothai and Si
Satchanalai, both also World Heritage sites. Sukhothai
was in the 13th and 14th centuries, and features the
remains of a royal palace and 26 temples. Si Satchanalai,
which is home to 19 monuments, can be reached from
Sukhothai by car in about an hour. Bangkok Airways
flies to Sukhothai daily, or can be accessed by train from
nearby Phitsanulok.
Four hours north of Bangkok lies Lopburi, whose city
core is inhabited by hundreds of wild monkeys. Lopburi
has even established its own monkey hospital to deal
with these primates. This former summer capital of
Siam was the favourite of King Narai, who kept his
palace, Phra Narai Ratchaniwet there. While you are
walking around Lopburi, dodging the monkeys, you can
sitll see the remains of Constantine Phaulkon’s home,
Chao Phraya Wichayen. Phaulkon, a close advisor
to Narai, was the only foreigner to hold a mistrial
position and was executed by Narai’s successor of King
Phetracha as Narai lay on his deathbed.
Nakhon Nayok has developed into somewhat of
an adventurer’s paradise. Located only a couple
hours northeast of Bangkok, guest houses and tour
agencies have sprung up dealing with everything from
whitewater rafting and kayaking to ATVs and rope
courses through the jungle. Many resorts have also
been built over beautiful sweeping vistas, so if you
just want to kick back, read a book and enjoy nature
there is plenty of oppor tunity to do that as well
Saraburi is one of the central provinces in Thailand.
It is surrounded by Lopburi, Nakhon Ratchasima,
Nakhon Nayok, Pathum Thani and Ayutthaya. It has
been an important town for centuries and believed
to have been constructed in 1548 during the reign
of King Maha Chakkraphat of Ayutthaya as a centre
for recruiting troops.
Located on the east side of the Chao Phraya river
valley, Saraburi is covered by high plains and plateaus,
while the western par t is mostly low flat plains.
Strategically located, it is only 110 km from Bangkok,
the town is a gateway to the northeast.

The most important Buddhist temple is Wat Phra
Phutthabat, built under King Songtham in the 17th
century. It is the most popular pilgrimage site within
central Thailand. The temple houses the footprint of
Lord Buddha found on a stone panel near Suwan
Banpot Hill. The footprint was found in the reign
of King Songtham of Ayutthaya. A cone-shaped
str ucture or mondop was built to cover the
footprint.

Koh Chang, the country’s second largest island is
now much more accessible since Bangkok Airways
starting flying to Trat. Its sunsets are superb, and the
more adventurous may want to explore some of the
remote islands in nearby Cambodia.
Pattaya is the entertainment and
tourist hub of this region. U-Tapao
Airport services international and
domestic flights to Pattaya and
you can actually catch a train from
Bangkok as well, but the trip is slow.
Buses to Pattaya from Bangkok leave
from Ekamai and Mochit bus stations
and from the bus terminal attached
to Suvanabhumi Airport.
Pattaya is really divided into three parts: Naklua (or
Pattaya North), Central Pattaya (Party Central) and
Jomtien Beach in the south. Naklua is a lot quieter and
more family oriented, anything goes in Central Pattaya
and Jomtien has always been a weekend retreat for
Thais and it is packed on the weekends. More and
more condominium developments are springing up,
particularly in Jomtien.
Tennis cour ts, go-kar t tracks, fitness center and
Thai-boxing gyms are all available in Pattaya as are
elephants rides, motorscooters, monster motorbike,
and convertible Jeeps.
To keep the adrenaline pumping shooting ranges are
available as is scuba diving (there are many ship wrecks
in the area), snorkeling, jet-skiing, cable skiing, deepsea fishing, windsurfing, speed boating, water-skiing,
parasailing, and aerial sports such as gliding ultra-lights
and flying motor-propelled gliders. The city also has
its own Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, bungee
jump, open-air zoo (outside of town), tiger zoo, and
aquarium.
There are also numerous restaurants, bars, theaters,
cabaret shows, night clubs, bowling halls, billiard &
snooker clubs, discos, sauna & massage parlors, not to
mention the incredible shopping opportunities, which
are always available.
Koh Samet, which is only a short drive from Bangkok,
and accessed by the pier at Ban Phe has some of the
finest white sand in the country and many Bangkokians
chose to make this their weekend getaway because of
its accessibility.
The Thai government has spent a lot of time, money
and effort trying to tout the Eastern Seaboard as
the “Detroit of the East” and many of the world’s
biggest car manufacturers have established factories
in this region.
And for those of you enjoying your time in Thailand
who want to remain in the country, but need a
new visa to do so, the most convenient border run
is to Aranyaprathet, about five hours by bus from
Bangkok.
The lesser known Koh Si Chang, accessed by boat
from the town of Sri Racha, features Hat Tha Wang
Palace, the former summer palace of King Rama V.
Summiting its Tham Yai Phrik Vipassana Monastery,
you can get a great view of the surrounding ocean,
which is full of tankers on one side and glorious
empty ocean on the other.
Chantaburi is known for its gemstones, as it is the
centre for buying rubies and sapphires from across
Southeast Asia. The town also has a significant
Vietnamese population with their own fascinating
history. And if you happen to be in Chonburi in
October check out the water buffalo races, great fun
for all involved.
This area also has one of the greatest concentrations
of good golf courses in the world and as such has
been dubbed a “golfer’s paradise”. You can play on a
different spectacular course each day, without having
to change hotels.

About halfway between Nakhom Pathom and
Bangkok lies Thailand’s most famous Floating Market,
Damnoen Saduak — pictures of which can be seen
almost anywhere in the world.
Kanchanaburi, and its infamous “Bridge on the River Kwai”, is one of the prime tourist attractions in western Thailand. This quaint
little town with its Kanchanaburi and Chung Kai war cemeteries and its JEATH and Thai-Burma Railway Centre museums is a living
memorial to the anguish Allied POWs and forced Asian labour had to endure trying to build a railway through to India during
WWII. And Hellfire Pass, 80km up the road, built the Australian-Thai Chamber of Commerce, is a testament to man’s tenacity
under the most strenuous of wartime conditions.
Kanchanaburi is a very pleasant place to hang out
and relax for a few days as there are many affordable
places to stay like the Felix, Cum Saed, Camelia and
the Riverkwai Bridge Resorts. A number of guest
houses are built right on the River Kwai and its
tributaries, and a little further north near Sai Yok
(where the river scenes in The Deer Hunter were
filmed), the Yoko River Kwai Resor t and others
provide for a great getaway from Bangkok.
province. Seventeen fully grown tigers and their cubs
live within the temple grounds after being rescued
from poachers in the nearby Thai-Burmese border
jungle.
Thailand’s Tiger Temple (Wat Pa Luangta Bua
Yannasampanno) is also located in Kanchanaburi
Half way between Kanchanaburi and Bangkok lies
Nakhon Pathom, home of Phra Pathom Chedi,
Kanchanaburi is only a two-hour journey by car or
bus from Bangkok, but the train trip is much more
enjoyable and leaves from the Thonburi station three
times a day.
On the Gulf of Thailand side, Hua Hin has long been
thought of as the weekend retreat for Thais (the
Royal Family maintains its Klai Kangwon residence
here), but more and more foreigners have started
going there as it is only a 3 & ½ hour drive from
Bangkok.
Just north of Cha Am lies Petchaburi, which is chock
full of ancient Buddhist temples. Great sunsets can
be seen by climbing Khao Wong, a hill in the centre
of town, which is home to one of King Mongkut’s
(Rama IV) palaces. Kaeng Krachan, Thailand’s largest
national park is 55 km away from Petchaburi. Its twin
waterfalls of Pa La-U with their 15 tiers are very
impressive sights indeed. The park is also noted for
its multiple species of butterflies.
There are a number of excellent golf courses in and
around the Hua Hin area, including Thailand’s oldest,
the Royal Hua Hin Golf Club. Many of these courses
have been promoting golf/spa packages, so you can
the tallest Buddhist monument in the world. It is
also home to Sanam Chand Palace, a favourite
residence of King Rama VI. The town also lays claim
to Thailand’s Human Imagery Museum, where you
can see life-like resin sculptures of famous figures in
Thai history. And it was the location for much of the
filming of the movie, Good Morning Vietnam.
The Rose Garden is a nice place to stay if you are
planning to spend any time in this area as it has a
Cultural Village featuring elephant rides, displays of
classical Thai dancing, martial arts and handicrafts, all
surrounded by some 20,000 rose bushes.
combine time on the greens, with staying in a fancy
resort and partaking in a traditional Thai massage or
spa treatment.
And just south of Prachuap lies the narrowest
stretch in Thailand. Starting in Wang Duan you walk
across Thailand in a day to the Burmese border. As
the crow flies its 11km, but hiking it, depending on
your route takes between 15-18km.
Khao Sam Roi Rot National Park (Three Hundred
Peaks) makes for an interesting visit given its
abundance of limestone cliffs, beaches, and caves. Its
coastal marshlands and lagoons make it a great place
to birdwatch. Serows have been spotted on Khao
Krachom (605 metres), while Irrawaddy dolphins
have been seen off the coastline. The Dolphin Bay
Resort in Pranburi is a good place to stay if you are
intent on doing some serious dolphin watching.
Legend has it King Rama IV died from malaria
a couple months after contracting malaria from
mosquito bites while observing a solar eclipse with
foreign and Thai guests in Khao Sam Roi Yot. The
Phraya Nakhon Cave contains a royal sala built for
King Rama V, as he stopped over there on his voyages
between Nakhon Si Thammart and Bangkok.
All main areas in the western region are accessible by
either road or rail.

Koh Phangnan is famous for its full moon par ty,
staged monthly on Had Rin, which has attracted
many over the years. So much is said about this
party, that many forget that is a truly glorious island
to explore and spend time on.
Southern Thailand
As Thailand is the world’s largest seafood exporter
and much of the fish comes from the south, you are
bound to experience some of the finest seafood
you have ever tasted while travelling down here. And
as you get closer and closer to the Malay border,
you will no doubt notice the Malay influence on the
exquisite curries and foods of the southern region.
But despite the trauma it experienced, Khao Lak
remains an incredibly beautiful and serene place.This
is Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi 30 years ago.
Opportunities for adventure sports or eco-tours
abound: trekking in Khao Sok and Khao Lak National
Parks, river canoeing, kayaking, mountain-biking,
and scuba-diving in the nearby Similans and Surins,
generally regarded as the most beautiful diving spots
in the Andaman Sea.
cave temples, many of which make for an interesting
day trip, especially Wat Tham Sua (the Tiger Cave
Temple), a 1,237 step mountaintop shrine with
spectacular views of the surrounding area.
Fur ther south, Koh Lanta features ten beautifully
flat white-sand beaches on the western side of the
island. The island is a good spot to get in some great
diving, snorkeling and island hopping and a large
national park on the southern island is a great spot
for trekking and wildlife spotting.
If you happen to make it to Ranong, a couple hours
north of Khao Lak, and a want a true adventure
head out to the Mergui Archipelago, which consist of
800 uninhabited islands in Burmese waters. Facilities
are few and far between, but these have been
called “the world’s last islands in tropical waters,
still in pristine conditions.” While in Ranong, make
sure you pay a trip to the Raksawarin Hot Springs,
located a kilometre outside of town. Boats can be
chartered from Saphan Plaa (Fish Bridge) to visit
the surrounding islands and the casino at Thahtay
Kyun Island.
Three of Thailand’s most famous islands: Koh Samui,
Koh Phangnan and Koh Tao lie on the Gulf of
Thailand side. “Discovered” by Western backpackers
in the early 1970s as a cheaper alternative to Phuket,
Samui changed considerably when Bangkok Airways
put in its airpor t and star ted frequent flights to
the island. Today, you’ll find every kind of tourist
imaginable – Eastern and Western alike. Chaweng
and Lamai are the island’s most popular beaches,
where practically everything is available, but if you
want to relax and kick-back Mea Nam and Bophut
Beaches offer relaxing alternatives.
Before the 26 December 2004 tsunami, Khao Lak
was seen as the “in” place to build a resort, and
many Thais did so. The problem was that many of
them built on flat land, near the water’s edge without
any kind of natural or man-made barrier between
their resort and the sea, so when the tsunami hit,
it hit hard.
The kar st topogr aphy of Kr abi Province is
breathtaking and a must see for any traveller to
Thailand. Krabi has quickly developed into a worldfamous rock-climbing locale. Tourist Krabi is really
divided into two different areas: Ao Nang, which you
can access by road; and Railay Beach, which you must
access by water. The province is also known for its
Samui is a good jumping off spot to reach Koh
Tao and Koh Phangnan. And a boat ride away lies
Angthong National Park, comprised of more than
than 40 islands. This was the inspiration for Alex
Garland’s The Beach, later made into a film starring
Leonardo DiCaprio.
Phuket, on the country’s Andaman coast, is Thailand’s wealthiest and largest province and it has made a spectacular recovery from
the 26 December 2004 tsunami. Home to some of the most luxurious resorts in the world and its towns such as Patong, Karon and
Kata can provide you with almost every type of entertainment imaginable. If you crave a more laid-back vacation beaches further
north like Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, Nai Yang, Nathon and Mai Khao can provide that as well. And Phuket’s golf courses like Blue
Canyon and Mission Hills are some of the finest in the land.
If you do end up visiting Phuket, tr y some sea
kayaking for a change of pace and the June Bahtra
cruise up to James Bond Island is definitely worth the
trip. And if you visit the island mid-to-late October
make sure you take in the island’s Vegetarian Festival.
Devotees somehow manage to pierce their skin with
the strangest of metallic objects, and perform other
acts of self-mortification that will leave you shaking
your head in disbelief.
To the south of the island Nai Harn and Rawai
Beaches are nice places to spend time and Laem
Promthep is a great spot to watch the sun rise
and set. There is also a movement afoot to have
the old town centre of Phuket Town declared a
UNESCO historical site because of its surviving
Sino-Portuguese architecture.
The Racha Islands just off of Ao Chalong in southern
Phuket are known for their proximity to big game
fish like the billfish, black marlin and sailfish, as well as
several varieties of tuna such as the yellowfin, longfin,
dogtooth and skipjack. The Racha resort is also a
very comfortable place to spend some time and the
snorkeling and diving in the area is quite good.
Fur ther south, Kradan Island in Trang province
annually stages the world’s largest underwater
marriage ceremony every Valentine’s Day. This event
is sponsored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
