Wander The Amazing Thailand

KingdomOfCat Admin

1. Secret Buddha Garden/ Tarnim Magic garden

It’s not a temple but there are loads of Buddhist statues along with animals, birds and he even sculpted fish into the river ! There is a statue of him within the garden along with his parents. The whole place was so beautiful and there was something to see everywhere you turned, with a waterfall flowing through the whole area we found it to be very magical and well worth a visit

Also, the drive up to it is STUNNING

2. Years go by, but the beauty and solitude of this place is still intact, just like years ago!

3. One of Bangkok’s most beautiful temples is the Wat Benchamabophit, also known as “the marble temple”

This place is a little far from the main touristic areas in Bangkok, but guess what? This is what makes it even prettier

When we got here, we had the whole place for ourselves and we had more time to appreciate the beauty of the temple

5. Staying in Phi Phi Islands had been on my bucketlist and it was a realllly good experience

I would love to stay more and just chill and relax at the beach just swimming and admiring the beautiful view in front of me

Here are a few things that you MUST know before going there.
.
Also, almost all restaurants and cafés shut their kitchen around 10-11pm so I would suggest you all to have your dinner early as it’s difficult to find good food after that

And also, download the Maps offline as it becomes very difficult to navigate and ask for directions when most of the places shut early and you’ve to go back to your hotel after partying at the Loh Dalum Beach. ( That’s when we got lost cos our map wasn’t showing any way back to the hotel and we kept circling around the same place again and again. Plus it was very dark everywhere so it became difficult to navigate through the alley. But, luckily we found a local who helped us reach back)
.
Overall we had a very good experience and the only sad thing was we had to leave early and go back to Phuket so we couldn’t cover the view points and go island hopping.

If you have extra time go island hopping to Koh Lanta and maybe some other islands nearby since the Long Tail Boats take you everywhere easily.

8. Is your heart already melting? At Elephant Home Khao Lak, Thailand

When traveling I really enjoy spending time with animals so much . Thailand is home to many amazing Elephants. Unfortunately not all are treated as nice, that’s why it is really important to do a good research before.

This place in Khao Lak is a Elephant sanctuary, meaning they take care of all the sweet elephants that can not live in the wildness anymore. You can feed and help to wash them, no riding allowed and please never do this

17. How to reach Phi Phi Islands? Here is how. Save and Share for later

The ferry option is the most convenient one since they have the option of the Open Ticket. Which gives you the liberty of going and coming back whenever you wish to. Just reach the Pier 30 mins prior to the departure and you’re good to go. While going from Phuket, inform the tour people when you wish to travel and they’ll come to pick you up and take you to the pier.

The cost of travelling : 1100 Baht ( Return Ferry and includes pick up and drop to/from the hotel as well ) which is very convenient and you don’t have to worry about anything.
.
The Speedboat tours are just a one day tour which pick you up from the hotel and take you for the tour directly. It’s a group tour and usually takes you to the main spots like Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Snorkelling , Monkey beach and drops you back to the hotel. This is usually for people who have less time on their hands and only want to explore the touristy spots and not stay at the island.
.
We travelled from Phuket but even if you wish to travel from Krabi, there are plenty of options from there as well.
.
There are plenty of Tour stands near Patong beach and hence you can compare them and decide for yourself.

The stall that we booked from was beside the East Restaurant ( on the backside ) in the connected to the Roxanne Cafe. They have nice options for renting motorbike as well.

18. This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I’ve ever seen in my life

LOCATION:

Wachirathan waterfall is located on the way up to the Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai.

HOW TO TRAVEL THERE?

Located in the Chom Thong District of the Chiang Mai Province, this national park is a 90 km drive, which will take 1.5 hours to get there from the Old Town of Chiang Mai. The easiest way is driving yourself by car or motorbike to take route 108 towards Chomthong.

ENTRANCE FEE:

The entrance fee for the national park is 300 Thai Baht for foreigners. If you come by car it’s an extra 30 Thai Baht and for a motorbike it’s 20 Thai Baht.

WHY IS THE WATERFALL SO SPECIAL?

When the sunlight hits the water droplets, a beautiful and colorful rainbow appears over the stream. There is also a steep cliff on the opposite called Pha Mor Kaew. Be aware that the path can be very slippery and muddy, so watch your steps and wear enclosed shoes.

22. Chao Phraya Princess Dinner Cruise

I’m a bangkok night cruise lover!! I even arranged my pre-wedding party on a private speed boat! It’s a must-do activity in Thailand if you are new to bangkok!

Pick up the tickets at Icon siam before 7 first so you could go early to shop at Icon siam in the afternoon. Remember to reach the pier before 7:30 at latest.

Recommend the family tourist if you want to enjoy the view in a good price

29. BKK, you stole my heart. Have you ever been to Bangkok and how did you like it? 

As much as I love island life I need to admit that this city became one of my favorites in the world.

From @sophiegoestropical

30. The pictures and videos don’t do justice to how beautiful this place was, at Kanchanaburi

To reach Kanchanaburi you can take a bus from Bangkok, Southern Terminal and it cost 120Baht per person and takes around 2.5-3 hours. After reaching here you’ll find a lot of Tuk Tuk Guys ready to take you for the day tours as per the places that you wanna cover and they’re very reasonable too. Don’t forget to Bargain.
.
The Erawan Waterfalls are located inside the Erawan National Park in Kanchanaburi.
.
The entrance fee for the National park is around 250-300 Baht per person and an additional 30Baht for the vehicle entry fee.
.
If you can spend an entire day here, it’s totally worth it. The park closes around 5pm so you need to make sure that you reach there on time. I think 4-5 hours are more than enough for you to enjoy the place to the fullest
