Recommendations for Thailand

The shimmering turquoise Phi Leh Lagoon (also known as Pi Leh Bay) is an absolute dream location for snorkeling and swimming fans! You can visit it as part of a day trip from Koh Phi Phi and also make a stop at the beautiful Maya Bay, which is just opposite. The boat trip takes around 30 minutes. Snorkeling equipment is usually provided on board, so all you need to pack is swimwear and sunscreen!

The beautiful Maya Bay is located on the island of Koh Phi Phi Leh in the Andaman Sea and can only be reached by boat. From the main island of Koh Phi Phi Don, the crossing takes around 30 minutes and leads past impressive limestone cliffs across the turquoise blue sea until a picturesque open bay finally appears. At the turn of the millennium, this place became famous worldwide when the film „The Beach“ starring Leonardo DiCaprio was released in 2000.

The Pai My Guest Resort is a secluded accommodation near the rice fields! The accommodation is a 20-minute walk from the center of Pai (Walking Street). On the one hand, it offers a quiet place to stay and at the same time you are close to the hustle and bustle of the small, lively town center of Pai. Even the way to the resort is impressive with walking paths through the wide, idyllic rice fields, where you can watch Thai rice farmers at work.

The Kho Ku So Bamboo Bridge is a popular excursion destination near Pai, around 30 minutes by scooter from the center. The approximately 1 kilometer long bridge runs over idyllic rice fields and provides an interesting insight into the daily work of the local rice farmers. The bridge construction is made of woven bamboo material supported on natural wooden pillars.

Mae Salong Flower Hills (also known as DoiMok DokMai Resort) is a beautiful mountain resort in the north of Thailand! The highlight of this accommodation is the magnificent flower garden, which makes the place truly unique. The in-house café and the fresh green tea from the adjacent tea plantation also make your stay a special experience.

The Choui Fong tea plantation is located in the north of Thailand, just under an hour's drive from Chiang Rai. This picture-book location is a popular excursion destination for all nature and tea lovers and should not be missed on any tour of northern Thailand! Due to the altitude, the fields in the north are ideal for growing various types of tea such as green and black tea. With a cultivation area of over 1,000 rai (= 1.6 square kilometers), the Choui Fong plantation is one of the largest tea producers in the whole of Thailand.

It is very centrally located on a main street and right next to the BTS station of the same name. Right next to it are the large modern malls Terminal 21 and the newly opened EmSphere. Asok is a popular entertainment district, especially for tourists, with many bars, clubs, restaurants, shopping opportunities and the beautiful Benjakitti Park right in the middle.

The Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) is one of the most visited temples in northern Thailand. Its unique design with a bright blue exterior façade and golden decorations attracts over a million visitors every year. In Thai culture, the colors stand for purity, wisdom and the divine. The murals inside also shine in magnificent shades of blue and purple. The highlight of the Blue Temple is the large seated Buddha in the main temple hall (Viharn), whose posture symbolizes the moment of enlightenment, inner peace and harmony.

Wat Rong Kung, better known as the White Temple, is a magnificent work of art combining traditional Thai architecture with a white façade and hundreds of thousands of mirror ornaments that glitter in the sunlight and symbolically reflect the wisdom of Buddha.
