Thailand Holidays : Ideas To Make Your Trip One To Remember!
With stunning hillsides, rainforests, mountain ranges and incredible ocean settings, Thailand is the perfect place to spend a few weeks, or maybe even years! While Thailand is most famous for its beaches, there is so much more adventure to find in this amazing country. From flying through the jungle like a monkey, to lady-boy’s strutting their stuff, to the biggest water fight in the world, Thailand delivers some serious adventure goods. Here are just a few ideas to spice up your trip…
Zipline Canopy Tour: In Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai to be precise) is an old rainforest, dating back 15 centuries, in which ‘The Flight of the Gibbon Adventure Tour’ operates. You can access the top and middle layers of this rainforest through a combination of platforms, sky bridges and ziplines. It can be a little bit fast and scary, but it is totally safe, and there are plenty of families that get involved as well as your typical adrenalin junkies.
Songkran Festival: This annual festival, which starts on April-th and lasts between 3 and 10 days depending on which part of Thailand you are in, is the highlight of the year for many Thai people. ‘Songkran’ is taken from Sanskrit, which means the beginning of the new Solar Year. The main way of celebrating this festival is to throw water over as many people as possible and, as such, the whole of Thailand becomes one big water fight battle ground. As this takes place at the hottest time of the year in Thailand, it is not only fun to get involved, it is also refreshing too!
Rock Climbing: Climbers of all ages and abilities have been visiting Thailand for years so as to experience the amazing limestone rock formations that are widespread there. With so many adventure tourists visiting, it no surprise to find that several specialist companies have formed to cater to their needs. Wee’s Climbing School in the south of Thailand has a proven reputation, however, with fame, comes crowds. If you want fewer people, cooler weather, great rock, and excellent guides, head north and check out Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures.
Elephant Nature Park: Elephant parks are plentiful for in Thailand, but one that stands out from the rest is the Elephant Nature Park in northern Thailand. It was built in the’90’s and is set in a gorgeous valley that is surrounded by a river and mountains. The park is located in the province of Chiang Mai, about 60km from the city, and it has provided a home to more than thirty distressed elephants from all over Thailand. It is effectively a rescue center, and it sets itself apart from other elephant parks in Thailand by always respecting the dignity of the elephants that stay there. Therefore, you find any elephant rides or juggling elephants here, just a chance to see and interact with elephants in a natural environment.
