Thailand Top Ten Travel Destinations


  1. Elephant Hills, Khao Sok, Suratthani – Thailand's first luxury tented camp


Khao Sok is one of the wettest areas in Thailand. Most of the rain falls from May to November, the rest of the year is generally dry with a few rainy days, which help to maintain the surrounding rainforest.

The flora and fauna shows a huge diversity. On one hectar you have 200 different floral species including the worlds largest flower Rafelesia, which can grow up to one meter in diameter. The variety of insects is huge. Wild Elephant, a small number of Tiger, Bear, Monkeys, Gibbons, Porcupine, Pangolin, Deer and the rare Mountain Serow live in the park.


Things you should bring, if you want to visit Khao Sok:

Good footwear, binoculars, mosquito spray, torch, swimming clothes, change of clothes, personal medication.

The island, originally known as Ko Tapu or Nail Island, found fame through the 1974 Bond film “The Man with the Golden Gun”.

To get to the island it takes a 2-hour trip from Phuket. There are many tours to this island, including other tourist attractions like the Monkey Caves (Wat Suwankuha), floating fishing village and a ride of a longtail boat (you have to take this to get to the island).

  1. Phi Phi Island


Phi Phi is one of Thailand's most popular islands. Of the two islands, one is completely free of human inhabitants (Phi Phi Leh), and the other is without roads (Phi Phi Don).As an added bonus, Phi Phi is affordable. Destinations this beautiful are often reserved for those that can pay dearly. That's not the case here; Phi Phi has something for every budget. You might be surprised – that perfect beachfront room costs less than you expect.

  1. Bridge Over River Kwai, Kanchanaburi


Internationally famous, thanks the several motion pictures and books, the black iron bridge was brought from Java by the Japanese supervision by Allied prisoner-of-war labour as part of the Death Railway linking Thailand with Burma. Still in use today, the bridge was the target of frequent Allied bombing raids during World War II and was rebuild after war ended. The curved spans of the bridge are the original sections.
