For this list we're looking at why you
should put thailand which definitely
handled the 2020 pandemic
very well high on your list of travel
priorities for a trip
whenever that may be number 10
weather have you ever tried to pitch
someone on a trip to somewhere cold and
rainy
it's not an easy sell great weather
isn't a prerequisite for travel
but if you're feeling burnt out sick of
the cold or just want a break
it certainly helps well thailand is
blessed with just about some of the
nicest weather you could ever ask for
forget spring summer fall and winter in
thailand the seasons are hot
cool and wet slash rainy and you know
what
all three are considered a good time for
tourists
to visit it just depends on what your
priorities are
the hot season can be downright
sweltering making it popular with beach
lovers
while during the wet season travelers
head inland even during the cool months
which is peak season
the weather mostly remains pleasantly
warm
number nine wildlife if you've got a
soft spot for animals
you're in for a treat with large areas
of the country being largely untouched
wilderness
including a number of national parks
thailand is a great place for spotting
all manner of unique creatures
in fact it's estimated that roughly 10
percent of the planet's animals call
this southeast asian country home
across thailand's diverse habitats one
can spot hundreds of bird species
as well as tigers clouded leopards
gibbons asian elephants and more
of course whenever partaking in
animal-centric travel
it's important that you keep a
respectful distance from the wildlife
and if you're going to sign up for a
tour or animal experience
do your research to make sure that
you're giving your money to a
responsible and respected organization
that puts the well-being of the animals
first number 8. bangkok this bustling
and vibrant city is home to an estimated
whopping 8.3 million people
14.6 million when talking about the
greater metropolitan area
on top of that it welcomes tens of
millions of travelers annually
in recent years it's actually ranked as
the single most visited city on earth
and there's good reason for that bangkok
is a city unlike any other
it's so busy that orienting yourself can
be a challenge but once you get a
feeling for the city's unique rhythm
it's easy to fall in love around every
corner there's some new gem to discover
from bars and restaurants to shops art
galleries museums
parks and more the massive number of
expats who have chosen to settle in
bangkok
is a testament to this city's many
magnetic qualities
number 7. scuba diving thailand is the
sort of destination that you can return
to numerous times and never fail to find
something new to enjoy
but for all the adventure opportunities
that the country has to offer on dry
land
a whole other world awaits below the
waves thailand is blessed with over 1500
miles of coastline
and hiding just below the surface are
countless dive spots that will give you
a whole new appreciation for aquatic
life
in the andaman sea
and the surren islands are considered to
be some of the best dive spots
the gulf of thailand is the other main
dive area with the highlights being ko
samui and koltao with its crystal clear
waters
ever comfortable in terms of temperature
thailand is a great place to go diving
even for beginners there are numerous
accredited dive schools where you can
learn
number six temples because of the
country's
friendly people thailand is often called
the land of smiles
it's a well-earned nickname but thailand
does so many things well that it
honestly deserves a lengthy list of
titles
including the land of temples buddhism
is the most commonly practiced religion
in the country
and there are roughly forty thousand
temples to prove it
many are modest and understated but in
cities like bangkok
temples such as wat prakayo wat po
are downright breathtaking as you travel
the country
you'll come across various styles of
temple that represent the region where
they're located
and the period during which they were
built other highlights include wat suwan
da
and wat but honestly there are just too
many noteworthy temples to list
you'll just have to go see them for
yourself number five
nightlife since this tends to be
somewhat of a divisive selling point
we feel that smack in the middle of our
list is an appropriate place for
thailand's nightlife
if you're a night owl you will never be
at a loss for exciting things to do in
bangkok after the sun goes down
the bar and club scene is rightfully the
stuff of legend
unfortunately thailand lives up to its
hard partying reputation to such a
degree
that it can sometimes be a bit of a turn
off for more reserved travelers
if you fall into the latter category
it's worth noting that the major cities
have plenty of alternative
nighttime activities including theater
performances and live music
thailand is known for its jazz and
reggae bars for those who are looking
for the quintessential nightlife
experience however the drinks are cheap
on kausan road
where the party never stops it's also
worth noting that bangkok in particular
is very welcoming of the lgbtq plus
community
number four the epic landscape one could
easily spend their entire trip to
thailand
partying it up in bangkok but you'd be
robbing yourself
of the opportunity to see some of the
most beautiful landscapes you're likely
to encounter anywhere in your travels
that's part of what makes thailand such
a uniquely appealing destination
it offers the best of both worlds in
terms of city life
and stunning natural spaces as you
journey through the country
you can't help but be blown away by the
sheer diversity of terrain
eye-catching geological features and the
lush forests
it's truly a land of adventure surfing
zip-lining
white water rafting there's no shortage
of adrenaline pumping activities to be
enjoyed
always against a backdrop of a lush
environment
of course hiking is one of the best ways
to see the country
hang nak mountain gal no and kyu mepan
offer just a few of the country's most
stunning vistas
number three beaches ask anyone who's
been to thailand
or who plans on going there in the
future what appeal to them about the
country
and chances are that beaches are going
to be one of the first words to come out
of their mouth
thailand's shoreline is world famous and
with good reason
we could do multiple videos listing the
country's countless picture-perfect
beaches
most popular most epic most underrated
most isolated etc crystal clear water
soft sand scenic ocean views trees
swaying in the breeze
what's not to like the great thing about
thailand's beaches is that because
they're so numerous
there's one to fit the tastes of just
about every traveler
want a party head to konpang or ko samui
something a bit more relaxed or off the
radar track
oh you want a beach where you can rock
climb no problem
tonsil beach awaits number two
food yes you've had pad thai before
probably pad sue as well
but until you've been to thailand it's
impossible to fathom just how diverse
complex and yet consistently excellent
the cuisine is
street food isn't just a hot dog from a
stand on a corner it's a crucial part of
the local culture that unites people
from all walks of life
how long do you have to spend in
thailand one week two weeks a month
unless you're moving to thailand for an
extended stay chances are that you could
go an entire trip without ever eating
the same thing again
of course considering how delicious the
food is here we doubt you'll be able to
stop yourself
gang kale one guy kaopat tom kagai
these are just a handful of the dishes
that you'll try and invariably come to
love
it's easy to get a great bite of food
just about anywhere but venture into one
of the local markets and you'll be truly
overwhelmed with your options
number one relative affordability
depending on where you're traveling from
a flight to thailand is likely to cost
you a pretty penny
but even if you have to spend a small
fortune getting there once you're
in thailand the low cost of living is
sure to make this among the most
affordable trips you've ever taken
people can comfortably live off of 40 to
60 us dollars per day
and that's seeing all the sights and
engaging with tourist traps
experienced backpackers often do it for
25
or less and once you're there travel
within the country
or to neighboring nations becomes very
affordable you can get a comfortable
place to sleep for as cheap as 5
to 15 snacks and drinks can often cost a
dollar or less
you can get a meal for a few bucks and
if you want a sit-down experience with
all the trimmings
it's unlikely to run you up more than 10
seriously even a modest budget will take
you far
