In the heart of Southeast Asia’s mainland sits Thailand, a nation with a long history and countless natural wonders. Formerly known as Siam, Thailand is a dreamy destination for travelers from neighboring countries and faraway lands alike. What is it that makes this country such a magnet for travelers from all walks of life? Let’s find out.
Why Thailand Should Be on Your Must-See List
Here are five reasons why Thailand is such an amazing place to visit, travel, live, or simply spend time in.
#1. The Food
The reputation of Thai foods precedes it. We’ve all gone to Thai restaurants, street food kiosks, and/or that one hard-to-track-down authentic food truck. But, Thai food in Thailand is just different. The best part is that you don’t have to seek out fancy restaurants to get your fill of Guay Teow. Thais take a huge amount of pride in their cuisine. So, you can be rest assured that even the humblest of shacks in Bangkok will serve you finger-lickin-good Thai dishes.
#2. The Locals
Like all tourism-heavy places in the world, there are locals in Thailand who are a bit overwhelmed by the number of travelers flowing in. Nevertheless, that doesn’t impact the way they welcome people from all over the world. Thai people are among the nicest you’ll ever meet. Don’t be surprised if someone runs out of their house to offer you a drink of cold water on a hot day!
#3. The Safety
Traveling requires a certain degree of precaution, regardless of where you go. It’s easy to get influenced by horror stories, especially if you’re from a completely different culture. However, as long as you take the same safety precautions you’d take anywhere else, you’ll find that Bangkok, Koh Samui, Pai, and all other destinations in Thailand are safe to explore.
#4. The Essentials
Thailand has a solid tourism infrastructure in place, but there’s also everything you need from a practical perspective. Modern airports, extensive bus lines, and the possibility to hire rental vehicles allow you to visit the most remote mountains, pristine beaches, and imposing cities. Not only this, but there are modern medical facilities throughout the country, in case of an emergency. Plus, it’s easy to find a guide to help you work everything out if you’re not fluent in Thai just yet. ALLMYNE’s services can be a great resource to connect you with top-notch guides!
#5. The Beauty
Whether you like beaches, mountains, ancient temples, majestic waterfalls, modern cityscapes, or a combination of these, Thailand’s got you covered. Many people move to Thailand after visiting it on a temporary trip because they discover just how breathtaking the views are. An added bonus is that living in Thailand means easy access to Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, and many other stellar destinations.
Bonus: The Convenience
The cost of your trip will vary based on many different factors, but there are dozens, if not hundreds, of airlines and boats connecting Thailand to the world. You’ll be able to figure out a route that works for you no matter where you’re coming from!
