Sip, Dine and Relax on the Chao Phraya Cruise

Chao Phraya Cruise

As you sail above the Chao Phraya River, you’ll get to witness many historical landmarks like Pho Temple, Rama VIII Bridge and Phra Sumen Fort from this cruise ship, along with getting to enjoy an incredible buffet dinner consisting of the most spectacular Thai and international dishes!

Visit Vibrant Pattaya, the City That Never Sleeps

Coral (Koh Larn) Island, situated around 7-8 kilometers from this city, is home to six scenic beaches perfectly suited for Nepali travelers who are into watersport activities and beach exploration.

Pattaya Major Attractions

And for those party animals, Pattaya is the nightlife hub of Thailand featuring various clubs and bars, dining options, street shows, live concerts and more for all kinds of night owls out there.

Discover Hua Hin: A Paradise of Breathtaking Beaches

Beyond this experience, Hua Hin is another spectacular destination, situated 3-4 hours from the capital city via road. Promising a much calmer and more laid back atmosphere in comparison to Bangkok and Pattaya, this beach town is famed for its colorful local markets, wellness resorts and aesthetic cafes. 

Hua Hin Beach

Additionally, it’s also a popular wedding destination as well due to its coastal charm. Similarly, Hua Hin also offers numerous scenic beaches like Khao Takiab and Suan Son Pradipat, where you can go swimming, take those Instagram worthy shots or simply relax by the shore. Other points of interest here for tourists also include Maruekhathaiyawan Palace, Khao Takiab (Monkey Mountain) and Hua Hin Night Market

Tropical Islands and Coastal Paradise

It would be impossible to visit Thailand and not explore its breathtaking islands and beaches. And destinations like Krabi, Phuket and Koh Samui are perfect choices that you can add to your bucket list if you’re someone who loves exploring the outdoors.

Experience Krabi’s Local Atmosphere and Culture

Explore Krabi, a charming coastal province nestled in the southern region, famed for its gorgeous limestone cliffs, picturesque islands and pristine beaches.

In terms of travel, Krabi is 3 to 4 hours away from Bangkok (via flight) and by road the hours are much longer, as it can take around 10 to 11 hours.

From Culture to History: Encounter Phuket’s Best Places

Likewise, Phuket is more suitable for cultural immersion, local food experiences and vibrant nightlife. Being the largest island in Thailand, this southern province used to function as a trading post in the past that led to the birth of many new cultures and traditions seen reflected in the city’s architecture, food customs and languages.

The Phuket Elephant Sanctuary and Phuket Bird Park are two of the city’s most renowned locations for animal lovers. Similarly, for local cultural experiences, Phuket Old Town offers a memorable and educational experience.

Other notable attractions here include Patong beach, Big Buddha Temple, Phi Phi Islands (located nearby) and the Phuket Thai Hua Museum.

All these attractions help provide visitors a glimpse into Phuket’s natural beauty, cultural traditions and vibrant atmosphere.

Unwind in Koh Samui’s Tropical Islands

Equally captivating is Koh Samui, Thailand’s second largest island. Tracing back its history, this island used to be a small fishing village but later turned into a major tourist destination due to the government bringing many positive infrastructural changes seen majorly through road and accommodation facilities.

In terms of accommodation, Samui offers a ton of options for 5-star luxury wellness resorts perfect for Nepali tourists wanting to splurge a bit during their holidays.

To get the best experience, you can tour beaches like Laem Had, Ao Sai and Loh Pared, known for their crystal blue waters.

Sea Foods to Try in Thailand

For those interested in local culture, the island also offers a glimpse into traditional fishing communities, where one is able to learn about the methods of catching fish, the fishermen’s daily routine and even try out fresh seafood dishes, which are said to taste absolutely divine!

Learn About Thailand’s Rich History in Kanchanaburi

Kanchanaburi

Another destination worth visiting is Kanchanaburi, a charming province/town situated in the western region. For a historical experience, you can visit the bridge located on the Kwai River and the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, as they have preserved this destination’s deep rooted history.

On the other hand, for nature and wildlife excursions, you can stop by the renowned national parks like Sai Yok, Chaloem Rattanakosin and Erawan National Park, where the last one features a seven tiered waterfall.

Cultural Heritage and Ancient History

Besides islands and beaches, Thailand is known for deep rooted history and colorful cultural practices. Rich in history, culture and spirituality, this nation is home to a ton of Buddhist temples, historical parks and ancient towns that can be found mainly in cities like Chiang Mai and Ayutthuya.

Step Into Chiang Mai, a City of Timeless Charm 

Also nicknamed, “Rose of the North”, Chiang Mai offers a much more laidback and peaceful atmosphere compared to the capital, Bangkok. Historic sites like Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Umong have stood as reminders of the Lanna heritage. 

Similarly, other notable Buddhist temples include Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and Wat Phra Singh, as they reflect the city’s rich religious heritage and diverse architectural designs.

Release Glowing Lanterns in Chiang Mai

The famous “Yi Peng festival” (also known as the festival of lights) is also celebrated in Chiang Mai every November. This festival invites a huge number of tourists from various parts of the world. During the celebration, visitors purchase lanterns, write their wishes on them and release them to the night sky.

Yi Peng Festival

The sky during this time almost looks like a constellation of living stars, as thousands of illuminating lanterns are released at the same time, converting the once dark sky into a sea of glowing lights! We highly recommend you visit Chiang Mai during this time, as this experience is said to be nothing short of spectacular.

Located just 3-4 hours away from Chiang Mai lies another scenic city of Chiang Rai. If you’re someone who wants to enjoy the slower pace of traveling, then Chiang Rai will far exceed your expectations!

Wander Through Ancient Ruins in Ayutthaya

The next destination that you should visit if you’re a history lover is Ayutthaya, which functioned as Thailand’s former capital until the 18th century. Renowned temples like Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Wat Phra Mahathat and Wat Ratchaburana are a few sites that should be on your travel list while visiting this city.

Major Tourist Destinations

Modes of Transportation

Thailand offers a range of transportation like BTS (sky train), MRT (subway), taxis, motorcycles, songthaews (two row trucks), buses and tuktuks (rickshaws) that you can use depending upon your convenience. For a faster option, you can use sky trains and subways, whereas tuk-tuks/taxis are preferable for short trips.

Most commonly while riding the MRT, a contactless visa or mastercard can be used, while on other hand for the BTS, a rabbit card is needed. These places also have ticketing counters where you can purchase the ticket through cash. 

Similarly, to travel via taxis, motorcycles, songthaews, buses and tuktuks, cash can be used. 

Food and Dining

Thai cuisine is bold, delicious, and packed with flavor. As this top-rated cuisine combines a number of fragrant spices, rich sauces, and aromatic oils, it features some of the most delectable food items that you keep reaching for even when you're full! 

A handful of the dishes that you have to try while traveling in this stunning country include massam curry (meat curry), khao pad (fried rice), gai tod (crispy fried chicken) and pad thai (stir fried noodles).

Note: Thailand is a beef eating country, so be sure to ask what meat is used if you are ordering a non veg dish.

Currency and Payments

As each traveler has their own spending habits that depend upon various factors while traveling, in a general sense, it is advised to take around 500-1000 USD (or more depending on your travel needs) in Thailand for a week, as this budget allows you to pay for expenses such as additional flights/sightseeing, dining, shopping and any other miscellaneous travel costs.

For payment options, this nation uses both cash and credit cards (visa and mastercard) so it is recommended to carry a mix of both cash and cards while traveling.

Likewise, cash is generally preferred in many local restaurants, small souvenir shops, street markets and rural areas, where having 1500-3000 Thai Baht is ideal for most purchases, whereas credit cards (like visa and mastercard) can be used in many hotels, shopping malls and larger establishments.

Prioritize Your Health and Safety

Before traveling to Thailand, make sure to get all the necessary health checkups so you don’t fall sick on your trip. Also, get all the needed vaccinations recommended by your doctor and carry all the medications that you use regularly on your trip as well. 

Additionally, drink plenty of water during your traveling days and eat a well-balanced diet so you can stay healthy and energized throughout your trip.

Know What to Pack

Thailand is one of those destinations that is hot and humid all year round, and for this you’ll need to pack smartly. 

Temperatures usually range around 25-35 degrees celsius all year round and as you may be planning to visit many cities, make sure to pack lightweight, breathable clothes made out of cotton or linen materials (as they feel cool on the skin and also easily soak up moisture).

Furthermore, make sure that you also carry travel essentials like hats/caps, portable power banks, type A or C power plugs that work on 220 voltage at a frequency of 50 Hz, sunglasses, sunscreen, a water bottle, swimwear, insect repellent, and a windbreaker as well, among other things.
