Top 5 Reasons To Travel to Thailand

The tourism in Thailand has been a victim of political stability. Because of the news scare, the number of tourist arrivals has declined and thus resulting in a room occupancy rate of less than 20%. But the truth is, none of the political turmoil has truly affected the daily life of Thailand. If you travel to Thailand now, you will still see the eight reasons why the country is loved worldwide.

1. Delicious Food:

The best food in Thailand is not whipped by a master chef in some fancy restaurant. The tastiest and spiciest food in the country is made by street vendors who form their own communities in the sidewalks. The pork noodle soup is a must-try as it is one of the best soups you’ll ever taste.

2. Elephant ride:

You can never say that you’ve been to Thailand unless you have a picture riding an elephant. To try riding elephants, head north to Elephant Nature Park near Chiang Mai.

Elephants are much loved and used by Thai. Most of them have been domesticated that you can even let them raise you up using their trunks. Wouldn’t that be a fun memory to take home to?

3. River Market:

If you travel to Thailand, never miss out an opportunity to go and see the river market. This is the literal interpretation of the “wet market” where you might actually get yourself wet if you lean too far from the boat that you’re in. Here, you will find all sorts of things – fruits and vegetables, street foods, silk products, textiles, garments and local handicrafts and so on. The good news is, all items here are very inexpensive so it’s really worth the adventure.

4. Great Beaches:

Thailand has some of the best and most beautiful beaches on Earth. Pack up your beach wear and go to the islands of Ko Lanta, Ko Phangan, Ko Lipe and Ko Samet. There, you can soak up all day in the sun and even go to the famous Full Moon Party at Ko Phangan.

5. Cheap Travel:

Your dollars will go a long way when you’re in Thailand because everything is cheap. Here, you can stay at hotels for as low as $20 a night. You can go partying and drinking because entertainment is not very costly. Shopping is also a breeze and there’s definitely something to give to everyone without breaking your banks.
