Answer 1

Hi, there are many nice places to go in Thailand. Just that what you want to see and visit may be quite far apart from each other.

For beach resorts, this will be in the south Thailand or east Thailand. There are different type of scenery and beaches, and also the human traffic. The more frequented places will be Phuket and Pattaya. If you want to go off the beaten path, then Krabi or Phang-nga, just a distance away from Phuket will be nice.

Or you can head to Cha'am and Hua Hin just a drive south of Bangkok, where you get very nice beach resorts too, and less peope to bump into. This place will be great.

The east side will be in Rayong or Trat. Both provinces do have island and beach resorts and will be cheaper and quieter than the others mention beforehand.

For historical places, there are a number spread all over Thailand. Now is a question of how much time do you want to spend visiting them. Easy to reach from Bangkok will be Ayutthaya. Or you can venture northward to the more well-known Sukhothai. Something different will be the Phanom Rung in Buriram, or other less visited sites. So there are many and will depend on your travel plan.

For flowers, I guess Chiangmai and Chiangrai, both with majestic botanical gardens will have to be it.

There are Chinese tea plantations, in the mountains off the city centre of Chiangmai. Likewise, you can find Chinese tea plantations close to Mae Hong Son city, where there is a Chinese community staying there too. But these are far apart from each other and again your travel plan is what will matter.

You can email me at [e-mail] if you like to have suggestion on a possible travel plan based on your time. I can also recommend other sights along the way if you like.

You will enjoy Thailand.

Answer 2

As has been said probably the best time to come to Thailand is in the winter months, November to the end of February when it is cooler. March, April and May tend to be hot and hotter, with great humidity and it can be very sticky and overpowering for those not use to the climate here. The rest of the year is also hot and this is the wet season, when it absolutely pours for a few hours each day and then stops only to start again a few hours later. The roads get flooded and there is no way you will get a taxi.

But if you are intent on coming spend a few days in Bangkok there are many things to see here. Jim Thompson's House, the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, the National Muesum, take a trip on a long boat, and explore some of the communities on the Thonburi side of the river (the original 220 year old settlement).

Take a day trip to Ayutthaya and to Kantchanaburi and the River Kwai while in Kanthachanburi take in the Erawan Falls - a strenuous trekk but a beautiful place full of gushing and cool water falls and pools - delightful.

Chiang Mai may be cooler and is well worth a visit in itself. Although the city is now built up it has its origninal millennia old city moat and the city walls have been (?) faithfully reconstructed. The newly opened Chiang Mai Museum is fascinating too in its showcase of the developement of all aspects of Northern Thai life.

Chiang Mai has 700 year old wats that are still in use, a nice zoo with a couple of pandas. You must visit Dio Suthep a monistary on top of the mountain that overlooks Chiang Mai where the whole of the city is laid out like an architects model.

There are a couple of elephant sancturies worth visiting.

A little further south of Chiang Mai is Sukhothai another ancient city with some amazing ruins of old wats and Buddha statues, truly spectacular.

Further south are the sea side resorts of Pattaya, Cha Am, Hua HIn and the islands of the Gulf of Thailand. Phuket and Khao Lak, Krabbi and Trang on the Andaman Coast offer good value for money and Khao Lak particularly is reasonably quiet. The Similans offer wonderful diving oportunities.

So you choose in two or three weeks culture, history, beach and sun along with a glimpse of the countries wild life particularly in Khao Lak and the Similans.

You won't regret it only perhaps the time of year.

Answer 3

Beaches - visit places like Hua Hin or Cha Am which is about 3 hours drive from Bangkok. It's not swamped by tourists like Phuket or Pattaya

Historical places - Sukhotai or Ayuthaya where you can see ruins.

If you going in March, go to Chiangmai to the north of Thailand. Much cooler and scenic views. I have visited fruit plantations there but don't know if there are tea or flower plantations.

Answer 4

The family of one of my friends owns a tea plantation in Kanchanaburi. They are always very happy to welcome visitors from abroad. As it happens, he also speaks Nihon-go (scoshi) as well as Thai and English. Send me an email through Yahoo Answers if you would like me to give you the address of their website so you can see if it is somewhere you would like to visit.

For beaches I'd recommend either Hua Hin or Ko Samet because, as I live in Bangkok I've been to them often, and they are convenient to get to from Bangkok without being too crowded. It is still possible to find peaceful beaches in both these places.

(Its a bit simple to say this but) Thai history can be broken down into 3 phases;
(1) the Khmer Period (upto about 700 years ago);
(2) the Thai Kingdoms period(about 700 years ago to 1782); and
(3) the period of the Chakri dynasty (1782 - present).

From phase 1 there are the Khmer cities at Buriram and Phimai in north-east Thailand and at Muang Singh in Kanchanaburi that you can visit.

From Phase 2 a trip to Ayutthaya (88kms north of Bangkok) is an obvious start. You could also think about going to Sukothai.

From Phase 3 the place to start would be the Grand Palace in Bangkok built by the first king of the present dynasty and Vimanmek Mansion built by the fifth king of the present dynasty. However, there are many other royal palaces that you can visit - Sanam Chandra Palace in the city Nakhon Pathom (this city also has a very big and famous temple). Hua Hin has a lovely summer palace which was built by the sixth king. Bang Pa-In Palace (near Bangkok) also has a beautiful palace. There are so many palaces and historical places that you can go to in Thailand that it would make this answer too long to list them all.

Answer 5

I actually were to thailand i love it, so i am hoping you've a great time :D i went to an section referred to as Hua Hin, it truly is a small city with a great number of nightlife, many temples and spectacular surroundings, mountains are round each and every nook and it has a hilton, and many eye-catching lodges, mid april is the water pageant (or sonkran) it truly is fairly spectacular, except you dont like thai human beings wacking you with water and paste ( which I even do no longer understand what's in it.) besides i ought to both bypass to Pattaya Or Hua Hin, they're both acceptable places, like thailand, yet be careful the guidelines are strict. each and every of the acceptable and performance a tremendous time, playstation . you'll favor a lot a lot extra then £100 a week identity say perchance £2 hundred-£three hundred

Answer 6

yes March is very hot in Thailand but there're still many interesting places to visit. I suggest the norht of Thailand, if you like plants tea or flower. I suggest Mae Hong Son or Chiang Rai. but if you want to visit beaches, it's depend on how do you like, cheap but dirty, fair and ok, or costs more but nice.by the way, in april, we have Songran Festival,have you heard about that? It has lot of fun

Answer 7

Some places I would recommend are: Wat Phrae Kaeow, in Bangkok, the city of Chiang Mai in the North of the country and the beach towns of Pattaya, Koh Samui and Koh Pipi.

Wat Phrae Kaeow is a very beautiful temple and it's huge. If you go to Wat Phrae Kaeow in Bangkok, please remember to dress respectfully. When visiting temples or palaces, dress modestly. Thai people are very sensitive to the way people dress at religious places.
The Northern Thai city of "Chiang Mai" is also a very good place to visit. Its culture is different from Bangkok, so the buildings and the food are very different.
Pattaya, the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Pipi all have great beaches. They are good places to water ski and ride elephants (in Pattaya).

Good luck, and if you don't use the travel guides I listed below, that's fine but please make sure you have some kind of travel guide with you. Otherwise you might miss out on something!
