Siamese vacations will fill you for a very long time, and you will try to come back here more than once to bask in the rays of the gentle sun. Entertainment in Thailand is sometimes a wonderful fairy tale and sometimes a real adventure!
Top 15 attractions in Thailand
Walking through the canals of Bangkok
The main means of transportation along the numerous rivers of the city are boats. Locals call them rya hang yao, which literally translates as “long-tailed boat”.
Bangkok was originally built in the image of the former capital of the state - Ayutthaya - where roads, as such, simply did not exist. Of course, they were, but the inhabitants preferred to move along the khlongs - water canals. Using the map, you will be able to move freely around the city using the services of scheduled shuttle boats.
Due to the huge number of canals, the city is sometimes called the Asian Venice, but do not flatter yourself. Khlongs are also an open city sewer. Of course, you get used to the awful smell, but not immediately.
Similan Islands (Phuket)
The water area of these nine islands, located just 100 km from the city, is one of the best dive sites in all of Thailand. Similans are a large marine reserve. That is why the pristine nature has been preserved here, and the inhabitants of the depths of the sea are not at all afraid of divers, since they are unfamiliar with the aggressive behavior of humans. And inhabiting whale sharks and manta rays accompany scuba divers and even allow themselves to be stroked.
All Phuket travel agencies offer trips to this unique destination. An excursion to the islands will be interesting not only for diving enthusiasts. Here you can simply dive with a mask and a snorkel, and deserted beaches allow you to try on a Robinson Crusoe costume.
A one-way trip can take anywhere from two to four hours. Everything will depend on weather conditions.
Park "Mini Siam"
Hundreds of exhibits are located on its territory, including not only the most popular buildings of the state, but also architectural sights of the whole world. But, of course, these are not originals, but copies reduced 200 times.
While walking in the park, you, like Gulliver, who got into the land of the Lilliputians, can embrace the famous Statue of Liberty by the shoulders or stand leaning on the Arc de Triomphe. In "Mini Siam" even the trees look like toys, and miniature rivers originate in the same fountains.
It is best to plan your walk in the evening. With the onset of dusk, a special lighting is turned on around the buildings.
