Take a Journey Through Thailand

Many of Bangkok's canals and waterways have been paved over, but you can still get a sense of the old city by visiting the last remaining floating markets, such as Damnoen Saduak.

The world-famous Warorot Market spreads across three floors and numerous shopfronts. Known locally as Kad Luang, or The Big Market, there's nothing you can't find. Many stalls specialise in northern Thai cuisine and Hmong handicrafts.

Phimai Historical Park was originally built in the 11th Century as a Mahayana Buddhist temple. The architecture resembles that of Angkor Wat in Cambodia because this area of Thailand was once part of the Khmer Empire. Khmer temples were designed to resemble the universe. The central building of Phimai represents the mountain at the centre of the universe, while the surrounding walls are the water and encircling mountains.

In the 13th and 14th Century, the Sukhothai Kingdom ruled north central Thailand, with the city of Sukhothai (meaning 'dawn of happiness') as their capital. The park contains over 200 ruins, including 26 temples and the royal palace.

The Wat Mahathat (Temple of the Great Relic) is located in the centre of the old walled town. It was the largest and most important temple of the Sukhotai kingdom, located next to the Royal Palace.

Take a hike through Khao Yai National Park. Located in the western part of the Sankamphaeng Mountain Range, the landscape ranges from grasslands to tropical forests. Watch out for Asian black bears, Indian elephants, sambar deer, and gibbons.

The Similan Islands are an archipelago off the coast of Phang Nga Province, western Thailand. Strong environmental and animal protections mean these islands enjoy unparalleled beauty.
