Thailand Things to Do

Situated southwest of Bangkok on the Gulf of Thailand, the small province of Samut Songkhram is a popular destination for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital. Guided tours or private guides are well worth the expense if you’re looking to get off the beaten path – without getting lost or turned around.

Known as Thailand‘s “Great Rice Bowl” (owing to its agricultural abundance), the central plains of Thailand are an excellent destination for visitors to the country who are more interested in the history and culture than its sparkling beaches and nefarious nightlife.

The best of the three floating markets in Bangkok, Taling Chan is worth a visit for practical and phenomenological reasons, as well as the many culinary temptations on display at cut-rate prices.
