Join us on the most beautiful hikes through Thailand! These are usually combined with breathtaking views, making the effort worthwhile. If you are traveling in the north in Doi Inthanon National Park, you should definitely visit the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail should also be planned. On the southern island of Koh Lanta, we recommend a jungle hike through the National Park to a beautiful, unspoiled beach. On Koh Tao you can enjoy the adventurous John-Suwan Viewpoint climb (in the truest sense of the word). And in Ang Thong National Park, the climb to the viewpoint is worthwhile Phu Jun Jarasª to catch an incredible view of the surrounding islands! If you prefer a more relaxed pace, you can go to the Windmill Viewpoint stroll around Phuket or walk the paths of the Pai Canyons explore. Thailand really does offer many hikes, so there is something for everyone!

Khao Daeng Viewpoint
The Khao Daeng Viewpoint was BY FAR the most spectacular place we have ever seen in Thailand! The reason for this fascination is probably that the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and its unique karst landscape are completely overlooked in the usual travel guides. Of course, the southern islands are beautiful and the mountain landscape in the north is also really impressive - but have you ever been to the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan in central Thailand? If not, then you should definitely visit this place.
Pai Canyon
The Pai Canyon is a fascinating natural spectacle in the north of Thailand! Who would have thought that this country has such deep canyons? It may not be quite as spectacular as the Grand Canyon in the USA, but the comparatively small Pai Canyon is absolutely worth seeing and always worth a visit if you are in the charming mountain region! The canyon, which locals refer to as Kong Lan, has been formed over several centuries by natural...
Floating Pagodas
The Floating Pagodas - officially known as Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat Phrachomklao Rachanusorn - are one of the most spectacular sights around Chiang Mai. Perched high up on the rugged peaks of Doi Phra Bat in Lampang province, the white and golden stupas seem to float weightlessly above the clouds. From the parking lot, a shared cab will take you a little way up the mountain before the actual ascent begins: around 540 well-built but steep steps lead you...
Pha Chor Canyon
Pha Chor Canyon is an impressive rock formation in northern Thailand that is often referred to as a "mini Grand Canyon". Formed by thousands of years of erosion, the clay-colored pillars rise up to 30 meters into the air and offer a spectacular natural experience. The visit is particularly beautiful in good weather, when the warm sunlight makes the rocks glow. A circular trail leads you through the fascinating landscape, past impressive rock towers and unique rock formations. The hike takes around 45 minutes,...
Black Rock Viewpoint
The Black Rock Viewpoint is a beautiful vantage point in the south of Phuket, which you reach after a short jungle hike. Important: Don't let anyone talk you into anything on the way there! Many Thais will tell you that you have to book a tour, need a shuttle or something similar - we simply drove on by scooter and parked for free at the restaurant. From there, it's a walk over gravel and then on through dense jungle. At the top...
Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail
The Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail offers one of the most beautiful hikes in northern Thailand and runs along the highest mountain in the country: Doi Inthanon (2,565 m). The view of the famous twin pagodas, which were built in honor of the Thai royal couple, is particularly impressive. The trail leads through mist-shrouded mountain forest, past moss-covered trees and spectacular viewpoints with views over the lush green highlands. Early in the morning, there is often still fog over the valley, which...
Ang Thong National Park
Ang Thong National Park (Mu Ko Ang Thong) is located to the west of the two islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. Due to its surreal rock formations, it is on almost every bucket list. The place consists of numerous limestone islands and lush green vegetation. There are several highlights such as the emerald green Emerald Lake, the famous Monkey Rock or the beautiful viewpoint Phu Jun Jaras. Other activities include snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. The place served as inspiration for Alex...
Than Sadet National Park
Than Sadet National Park is located in the east of Koh Phangan, which you can explore for a fee of 100 baht (approx. 2.50 euros). It consists of dense jungle, large rock formations and clear rivers. The park is famous for the historic Than Sadet waterfall, which was once visited by King Rama V, who immortalized his inscriptions in the rock. Unfortunately, the waterfall is very dry, almost parched, especially in the high season - which is why bathing is not always...
Bottle Beach Viewpoint
Probably the most beautiful viewpoint on the island is located next to the beach of the same name, Bottle Beach. We recommend arriving by scooter. You can park it at the bottom of the path and hike up on foot. It takes about 20 minutes through forests and stony terrain. At the top, you will reach a viewpoint consisting of gigantic rocks. It takes some courage and climbing skills to climb to the top, but the view is worth it! From here you have a...
