A glimpse into boundless activities and the warmth of local reveals accessible adventures within the "Land of Smiles."  Whether you're traveling with family or friends, find the epic experiences amidst Thailand's astonishing natural beauty - from sea kayaking through aquamarine waters of Mu Koh Ang Thong National Park or riding on the back of an elephant. 

Here are just a few of the off the beaten path regions of Thailand you can visit.

Water Havens:  Nature's treasures shine bright when viewed from Thailand's shimmering waters, where endless choices abound for travelers of every age and skill level - from groups of relaxed explorers to generations of active adventurers.  Go kayaking in Krabi.  Paddle together in a small fleet of sea kayaks around the beaches of Krabi in southern Thailand or the islands in Phang Nga Bay, where you'll gently glide through sea caves and delight in spotting monkeys and lizards on the outlying limestone karsts.

Magical Landscapes:  Delve deeper into Thailand's diverse beauty with these easily navigable, nature-filled activities that will fill travelers of all ages with a sense of wonder.  Known as Bangkok's "green lung," Bang Kra Jao is a peninsular haven that cloisters acres of jungle just across the Chao Praya River.  Rent a bicycle for a day of pedaling past tranquil villages and Ayutthaya-era temples.

Creating Cultural Connections:  Venture from the cities into Thailand's remote rural regions and unspoiled wilds where you'll quickly become a part of the local culture, enhancing your understanding of this vast and varied land.  The local cultures of Chiang Mai's hill tribes provides an engrossing experience of everyday life.  Visit with Akha villagers, famous for their decorative headdresses, or dig in deeper during a home stay with the Lahu tribe.  You'll share meals with this Tibetan-influenced group and earn about traditions like silversmithing and herb farming.

Create New Memories in Thailand.  The many facets of Thailand are too plentiful to encompass in just one journey, but no matter what you choose to explore with your loved ones by your side, you're guaranteed to bring home a lifetime of memories.
