San Kamphaeng Hot Springs
San Kamphaeng is a district located 36km from the northern city Chiang Mai. The area is home to the popular hot springs which are set in a 40 acre beautifully landscaped parkland. They are well known for their restorative properties and people come from miles to visit. The springs come from a deep source, are over 100 degrees centigrade and high in sulfur. Here you can camp, dine, bath in the mineral rich waters or if you fancy – boil some eggs.
Divers should head for Hin Daeng located in the Andaman Sea. Literally meaning the Red Rock, this area is often said to be one of the top diving spots in Thailand – if not the world. Swim among underwater pinnacles, swaying carpets of anemone and colourful coral. It’s also teeming with wildlife including large shoals of fish, round batfish, manta ray, barracuda and the odd whale shark or two.
Bangkok
Bangkok
is a restless and chaotic metropolis and an essential part of a trip to
Thailand. Although not everyone’s cup of tea, the culture-shock inducing
capital has some incredible places of interest that you would be foolish to
miss. The impossibly bejewelled Grand Palace should really be visited and if
you have time, take a trip to Wat Arun (one of the oldest and best known
landmarks in Bangkok) and Wat Po which is home to a huge reclining Buddha. The
more adventurous head for the notorious backpacker’s road Khao San, the bazaars
and alleyways of Chinatown and the infamous Patpong Night Market, located in
the city’s red light district.
