00:00Thailand is a collage of animated scenes that comprise bustling modern cities crowded with
00:21uktuks, Buddhist temples tended by orange-robed monks, hill tribes selling handicrafts, lush
00:27landscapes dotted with traditional farming villages, and stunning coastlines peppered
00:32with gorgeous beaches and blue lagoons. Such a captivating portrait explains why Thailand
00:38is Southeast Asia's most popular travel destination. Here's a look at the best places to visit
00:43in Thailand. Number 10. Koh Chang. Located near the border with Cambodia, Koh Chang is
01:11the third-largest island in Thailand and the biggest in the Koh Chang Marine Park Archipelago.
01:17It is a mountainous island known for several waterfalls, thriving coral reefs, rainforests,
01:22and long, white sandy beaches. In less than 10 years, Koh Chang has become a major tourist
01:28destination in Thailand, although still far quieter than islands like Phuket or Koh Samui.
01:35White Sand Beach is one of the most popular beaches on the island. Located on the island's
01:40northwestern corner, it's the longest beach on Koh Chang.
02:40Number 9. Chiang Rai. The northernmost city in Thailand, Chiang Rai
02:48serves as the main commerce hub of the Golden Triangle, which contains the borders of Thailand,
02:52Laos, and Myanmar. A busy town offering something for everyone, Chiang Rai is often used as
02:58a base for exploring the surrounding region. The town itself is quiet during the day when
03:03most of its packaged tourists are out on day trips, but at night, the neon lights flash
03:07on and souvenir stalls and restaurants spring into action.
03:37Number 8. Koh Tao. Koh Tao is an island in the Gulf of Thailand,
03:58and it is accessible by high-speed ferry from the mainland city of Chumphon. For travelers
04:03who enjoy diving, the island of Koh Tao is the perfect vacation destination. Around 7,000
04:10new divers get certified on Koh Tao each year, making it one of the most popular destinations
04:15in the world to learn to dive. Diving allows you to see bull sharks, underwater evolutionary
04:21sculptures at Ocean Utopia, and plenty of turtles, among many other marine species.
04:27Other popular activities include cycling and sailing around the beautiful island.
04:57Number 7. Phuket. Phuket is the capital of Phuket Province, and it is home to the Phuket
05:25Island.
05:28Number 7. Rele. Rele is a small peninsula that is only accessible
05:36by boat due to the high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. These cliffs attract
05:41rock climbers from all over the world, but the area is also a popular attraction in Thailand
05:47due to its beautiful beaches and quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Accommodation on Rele ranges from
05:52inexpensive bungalows popular with backpackers and climbers to renowned jet-set resorts.
06:22Number 7. Phuket. Phuket is the capital of Phuket Province, and it is home to the Phuket
06:49Island.
06:58Number 6. Khao Sok National Park. Considered by many to be one of Thailand's
07:06most beautiful wildlife reserves, the Khao Sok National Park covers jungle forests, limestone
07:12karsts, rivers, and lakes in the Surat Thani Province of southern Thailand. The reserve
07:17is home to some of the most amazing wildlife in Thailand, such as Asian elephants, tapirs,
07:23and gibbons. There are several trails in the park from which visitors can choose to enjoy
07:27trekking through the jungle to spot wildlife, photograph beautiful waterfalls, swim in natural
07:33pools, and admire stunning vistas.
07:51Number 5. Phuket. Phuket is the capital of Phuket Province, and it is home to the Phuket
08:20Island.
08:33Number 5. Ayutthaya. Founded in 1350, the city of Ayutthaya sits
08:42on an island surrounded by three rivers, connecting it to the Gulf of Thailand. Once declared
08:48the most magnificent city on Earth, the ancient Siam capital was an impressive state with
08:54three palaces, more than 400 temples, and a population that reached nearly one million.
09:01In 1767, the Burmese attacked and conquered Ayutthaya, however, and the capital was moved
09:07to Bangkok. The ruins are now a major attraction for those visiting Thailand. It is just 50
09:13miles north of Bangkok and is easily reached by train or boat.
09:43Number 4. Kanchanaburi. Located in western Thailand, Kanchanaburi is
10:00best known for the bridge over the River Khoi that is linked with the historic Death Railway
10:05to Burma, in which thousands of Asian laborers and POWs died during World War II. Several
10:12museums and war cemeteries all present information about the city and its bridge during the 1940s
10:18Japan occupation. Outside of Kanchanaburi are several national parks, including Erawan
10:24National Park, which offers beautiful scenery, waterfalls, and caves.
11:14Number 3. Chiang Mai. Surrounded by the mountains of northern Thailand,
11:37Chiang Mai is a flourishing city often used as a base among both backpackers and tourists
11:42wishing to explore the lush landscapes, hill tribes, and outdoor adventures of the region.
11:47Nevertheless, Chiang Mai itself is a large and culturally important city where historical
11:52and modern Thai architecture and traditions coexist. A walk around the historic center
11:58bestows views of old city walls and dozens of Buddhist temples. However, the most famous
12:03of these temples lies outside Chiang Mai, on a mountainside overlooking the city.
12:33Number 2. Bangkok. Thailand's capital city and by far the largest
13:00city in the country, Bangkok is a buzzing cosmopolis of high-rise buildings, ancient
13:06temples, and glittering nightclubs. While the city is sometimes described as a concrete
13:10jungle jam-packed with noisy traffic and air pollution, Bangkok is not without its natural
13:15beauty that is seen in its remaining canals, green spaces, and flowering tropical plants.
13:21The famous tourist street, Khao San Road, is a good place to begin with its cheap shopping,
13:26dining, and nightlife. Also not to be missed is the sacred Temple of the Emerald Buddha
13:56Number 1. Kofifi.
14:25Kofifi is possibly one of Thailand's most famous archipelagos. It is most notable for
14:35a stunning natural bay that was filmed in the movie The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
14:41But while many come here and have this renowned bay at the top of their to-do list, there
14:45are many more reasons to tempt you to Fifi beyond Maya Bay. The six islands of Fifi are
14:50jaw-droppingly beautiful, with pearl white sand beaches and emerald waters. Spend your
14:56days swimming and snorkeling among extraordinary marine life, or hire a long-tail boat. The
15:01surrounding islets, like Monkey Beach, are worth a visit, home to a plethora of cheeky
15:06tree-swinging monkeys.
