Thailand is a country of perpetuated natural and cultural heritage with the blend of modernized lifestyle; this is the reason more than six million tourists visit Thailand per year. Though, Thailand is much enriched with monuments and natural resources, the natives of Thailand adapted cultivation and fishing as their profession; other than this, after globalisation tourism is the more flourished business. After the war of 1980’s and 1990’s tourism has been only one think about the country’s development, which helps to raise the hospitality industry as well. Moving from the basic infrastructure, let’s see, what to see and where to go in the majestic Thailand.
Bangkok and Nearby: Nowadays, tour package to Bangkok is the most preferred package by the young tourists as they want to see the night life of Bangkok as well as this has the largest collection of fashionable clothes. As Bangkok is a young capital (established in 1782) it is more inclined to modernity, which attracts the youngsters the most. However, Bangkok’s Grand Palace is worth visiting; it covered the area of 218,000 square-meters and known for its architecture all over the world.
Banglamphu district is a good place to visit; this is nearby Bangkok and a heaven for budget travellers as it caters with amazing collections of DVD’s and street food.

Here one can get most amazing and authentic Thai soup and various other things, which are fresh and a must watch thing in Thailand.
The Central Plain of Thailand: most of the Thailand packages include the central plain area as this is full of natural beauty and is highly populated as well, thus, the travellers get to know about the cultivation and local cuisines of Thailand. Kanchanaburi is the most visited town of the central Thailand because of the bridge over the river Kwai. However, this place not only attracts people because of its amazing view, but it serves the floating raft-house, riverside restaurants, boutiques and hotels; so this has become the most popular hangout place in central plains of Thailand.
Moreover, package to Thailand is not complete without the visit of Sukhothai; some of the finest monuments and artistic heritage are there. The city was abandoned to the jungle once, but now, it has been reconstructed as the Sukhothai Historical Park, which is worth visiting. Though, most of us enjoy urban and modern culture, they can head towards New Sukhothai, the city is situated towards east and is not so far from the Old Sukhothai Park. Unlike the Old city, New Sukhothai is very modern in terms of culture and tourists can enjoy finest street food as well as finest cuisines in the luxurious restaurants.
Furthermore the central Plain of Thailand offers the exciting and breath-taking travel experience of the Death railway. Sangkhlaburi, a small hilltop town allures the visitors through its simplicity and taking a small detour to this small town is worthwhile. Apart from this, The Central Thailand offers the tourists Lopburi, Ayutthaya, Umphang and many more cities and towns which can steal the heart of the tourists.
The Northern Thailand: unlike the plain area, northern area is full of tribal lifestyle and temperate climate; nights during December to February are very cold, the climate is very good for the cultivation of rice, beans, and groundnuts. The agriculture fields and farms allure the visitors as well as the life of the natives. Chiang Mai is the transportion capital of the Northern Thailand, which connects Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai, Mae Sai and many more hill stations, including Pai which is considered as the most sophisticated hill station and is very popular for treks and other adventure activities.
The East: Eastern side of Thailand is coasting; this is not only surrounded by beautiful beaches, but plays an important role in the economy of Thailand, as this is the major point of international trading and connectivity to rest of the world. Ko Samet is the prettiest beach and has some of the beautiful resorts as well. Apart from this, Pattaya is a must have place in one’s Thailand Package because of its pleasant weather and luxurious hotels and resorts which offers amazing Spas and special Thai massage to their customers. Si Racha, Ko Chang, Ko Si Chang are some of the coastal areas of Thailand which are very exotic and are not very far from Bangkok.
