Initially built as a royal residence for King Rama I, it has since been used by successive monarchs. Located on Rattanakosin Island, it\u2019s very easy to reach from anywhere in Bangkok! The palace grounds are now open to the public, and tourists can wander around at their leisure.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Palace is famous for being a beautiful work of art. The architecture and design have been very well preserved, so you can get a good feel for what the palace would have looked like when it was first built in 1782. It\u2019s also quite fun to visit during Chinese New Year, where there are amazing colored lights displayed all over the palace!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost a city in its own right, with several different blocks of buildings. There are many beautiful temples for visitors to see inside these grounds! The Emerald Buddha temple contains one of Thailand\u2019s most important national treasures, which was brought over from Laos during the reign of King Rama I.<\/p>\n<p>This famous Thai Landmark is definitely worth a visit when you are in Bangkok! It\u2019s pretty easy to get there on public transport, or even by boat if you prefer. The palace has some beautiful architecture, and it\u2019s fun to explore all these historical buildings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_884,h_663\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Palace, one of the famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-10130\" width=\"884\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 1 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_884,h_663\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Palace, one of the famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-10130\" width=\"884\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Grand-Palace-Wat-Phra-Kaew-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 1 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>One of the buildings in the Grand Palace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wat_Pho_or_The_Temple_of_the_Reclining_Buddha\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wat_Pho_or_The_Temple_of_the_Reclining_Buddha\"><\/span>Wat Pho\u00a0or The Temple of the Reclining Buddha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Linda Stacy from Muy Linda <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travel<\/a>s<\/p>\n<p>Wat Pho\u00a0or,\u00a0The Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is one of the oldest and most important\u00a0Buddhist shrines\u00a0in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/muylindatravels.com\/how-to-spend-3-days-or-more-in-bangkok\/\">Bangkok<\/a>. Built in 1788 during the reign of King Rama 1, Wat Pho is a UNESCO world heritage site and houses the largest reclining Buddha in Thailand.\u00a0There is a monastery, a university, and a Thai massage school within the vast temple complex.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the main attraction at Wat Pho is the impressive reclining Buddha.\u00a0It\u00a0fills the small temple where it lies and measures 15 meters high and 46 meters long.\u00a0The graceful Buddha statue is covered in gold leaf and has a commanding presence. But it\u2019s the Buddha\u2019s feet that are the most remarkable. The soles are intricately carved with sacred symbols and inlaid with mother of pearl. Lining the temple walls are 108 bronze bowls and, if you want to earn some extra good luck, you can purchase unique coins to drop into the bowls as you pass through the temple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wat Pho can be found in the heart of Bangkok on Maharat Road,\u00a0near the Grand Palace. It\u2019s also just across the river from Wat Arun. To get to Wat Pho, catch a river ferry to Tha Tien Pier, take a tuk-tuk or walk from the Grand Palace.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you dress respectfully when you visit with your knees and shoulders covered, and remove your shoes before entering the temple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wat Pho is open daily from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm, and traditional Thai massages are available until 6 pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_769,h_576\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks Bangkok\" class=\"wp-image-23167\" width=\"769\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 2 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_769,h_576\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Famous landmarks Bangkok\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23167\" width=\"769\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Pho-Thailand-landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 2 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>The reclining Buddha, one of the most famous monuments in Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wat_Arun\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wat_Arun\"><\/span>Wat Arun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Alice from Adventures of Alice<\/p>\n<p>Wat Arun is Bangkok\u2019s second most famous Buddhist Temple and is located across the river from the Grand Palace. It is named after the Hindu god Aruna, who symbolizes the radiations of the rising sun. It was built before 1656 by King Taksin, the only King of the Thonburi Kingdom, and Its last renovation was in 2017. It is a Khmer-style temple that has four prangs and another larger one in the center. A small amount of the temple also mirrors Chinese architecture.<\/p>\n<p>The temple is famous for its signature charm and beauty. It has a gorgeous white color and is thoroughly detailed with stunning orange and blue patterns. It has three main pillars and to get to the second level you have to climb up some very steep stairs. You aren\u2019t permitted to go inside Wat Arun; however, the outside is stunning and worth a visit regardless.

The temple was built in 1899 for King Chulalongkorn after Dusit Palace, the official residence of the King of Thailand, was built nearby. It served as a worship place for the King then, and it\u2019s often called the \u201cTemple of the Fifth King.\u201d When King Chulalongkorn died, his ashes were buried beneath the statue of Phra Buddhajinaraja inside the ordination hall in the temple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Aside from its historical importance, the temple is a must-see in Bangkok. It shows Thailand\u2019s popular architecture design of ornate style of high gables, stepped-out roofs, and elaborate finials.<\/p>\n<p>The temple might look familiar to some because it was used as a destination for Amazing Race Season 9 as a final pitstop, and the temple facade is on the back of the 5 baht coin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite being popular enough, the place isn\u2019t as crowded as Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and the Grand Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wat Benchamabophit is located in Dusit District, and there\u2019s no MRT or BTS station nearby. But Uber\/ Grab is cheap and easy to book in Bangkok. If you want to save money, though, you can take BTS to the Phaya Thai Station and then walk between 30-40 minutes to the temple. Use Google Maps for direction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg\" alt=\"wonderful Wat Benchamabophit\" class=\"wp-image-23190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 4 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg\" alt=\"wonderful Wat Benchamabophit\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Wat-Benchamabophit-Bangkok-Famous-landmarks-in-Thailand-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 4 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>Beautiful Wat Benchamabophit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"King_Power_MahaNakhon\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"King_Power_MahaNakhon\"><\/span>King Power MahaNakhon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Kenny Chow from Knycx Journeying<\/p>\n<p>King Power MahaNakhon, formerly MahaNahon, was completed in 2016 and is the latest addition to modern Bangkok\u2019s skyline. Standing 312 meters tall, the 72-story high skyscraper is the tallest building in the city and has become one of\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/knycxjourneying.com\/top-10-things-to-see-eat-do-in-bangkok\/\">the must-sees in Bangkok<\/a>\u00a0for Bangkok visitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>King Power MahaNakhon is located in the Silom and Sathon business district, and it\u2019s easy to get there by BTS, as it is connected with the Chong Nonsi BTS Station. The building is a high-tech architecture that looks unique from afar. On its smooth and sleek surface, a cuboidal design swirls around the building in a spiral, as if the part of the building was pixelated. This unique design was created by the German Architecture firm Ole Scheeren, and it has been frequently featured on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, architecture, and travel magazines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The building is mix-used facilities with offices, residential apartments, and a shopping center. The top floor is an observatory deck and a sky bar, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Bangkok\u2019s vibrant city skyline, Chao Phraya River, and Lumphini Park. The best way to enjoy the view is to get a drink in the sky garden with a cooling breeze. Don\u2019t forget to take a walk on the glass platform. It is the highest in Southeast Asia and a great Instagram moment to take pictures of you at the city\u2019s top with other buildings and traffic underneath you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Bangkok seen from the top of King Power MahaNakhon\" class=\"wp-image-23172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 5 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Bangkok seen from the top of King Power MahaNakhon\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/King-Power-MahaNakhon-Thailand-landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 5 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>Top views from King Power MahaNakhon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chatuchak_Market\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chatuchak_Market\"><\/span>Chatuchak Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Jane and Duncan from To Travel Too<\/p>\n<p>Chatuchak Market in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totraveltoo.com\/at-least-6-reasons-visit-bangkok\/\">Bangkok<\/a> is the largest market in Asia, spread out over 35 acres with over 15 000 stalls.<\/p>\n<p>It is located in Northern Bangkok at 587\/10 Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road Chatuchak.<\/p>\n<p>You can travel to Chatuchak via the BTS Skytrain to Mochit Station or take the MRT Subway to Chatuchak Park.

The easiest way to get to the elephant temple is to drive, but don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t have a car. You can take a bus or train from Bangkok to Nakhon Ratchasima, a local bus to Dan Khun Thot, and then a tuk-tuk. Yes, it\u2019s a bit of an effort, but so worth it.<\/p>\n<p>When revered monk Luang Pho Khun originally moved to Wat Ban Rai, the temple severely needed repairs. With no money for repairs, the famous and popular monk appealed to locals for donations. Donations poured in, and in 2001, work began to create this spectacular dharma park.<br \/>It\u2019s possibly the most extravagant temple in Thailand, and with 20 million pieces of mosaic, it\u2019s believed to be the largest mosaic-covered shrine in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The temple also features a fantastic collection of traditional and modern temple artwork \u2013 such as Buddha using an iPad. It needs to be seen to be believed. The temple grounds are vast, so do allow yourself at least two to three hours here and make sure to bring your camera; the temple is a photographer\u2019s dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"elephant temple Thailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-23238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 10 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"elephant temple Thailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/elephant-temple-Thailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 10 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wat_Chedi_Luang_Chiang_Mai\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wat_Chedi_Luang_Chiang_Mai\"><\/span>Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Mai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Alan &amp; Ros Cuthbertson from Frequent Traveller<\/p>\n<p>Chiang Mai is the \u2018Rose of the North,\u2019 and lying at its heart is the historic Buddhist temple complex of Wat Chedi Luang.

However, features such as the Burmese style chedi and the ornation hall were rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The park is filled with incredible landscapes and lush forests that cover an area of more than a thousand kilometers. It is actually part of the Himalayan mountain range. Thus, at its peak, the elevation reaches up to almost 2,600 meters.<\/p>\n<p>To visit this majestic mountain, you first need to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/offbeatescapades.com\/how-to-travel-from-bangkok-to-chiang-mai\/\">travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai<\/a>,\u00a0rent a car or motorcycle and drive for 2 hours southwest of the old city. Upon arriving, you will be asked to pay an entrance fee of THB 300 for adults or THB 150 for children.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mount Doi Inthanon is known for having various camping areas, hiking trails, waterfalls, and impeccable views of Thanon Thong Chai Range. The park is also home to more than 360 bird species, making it an excellent bird-watching destination. Aside from these outdoor activities, Mount Doi Inthanon is perhaps most famous for its two stupas or chedis\u00a0called\u00a0Naphaphonphumisiri and Naphamethinidon, which means \u201cby the strength of the land and air\u201d and \u201cbeing the strength of the air and the grace of the land.\u201d Trekking to these chedis is an incredible experience that promises to encounter wildlife, vibrant greenery, and unbeatable sceneries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_638\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Doi Inthanon from above at sunset\" class=\"wp-image-23207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades-150x93.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 14 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_638\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Doi Inthanon from above at sunset\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Doi-Ithanon-landmarks-of-Thailand-Offbeat-Escapades-150x93.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 14 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption> Mount Doi Inthanon, one of the best landmarks in Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ricefields_of_Pai\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ricefields_of_Pai\"><\/span>The Ricefields of Pai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Vicki Franz from Vicki Viaja<\/p>\n<p>Thailand is full of breathtaking places and some of the most beautiful corners of the earth. One of the most underrated destinations in Thailand is the small town of Pai. You can reach it via a very winding road through the jungle from Chiang Mai.<\/p>\n<p>Pai itself is a quiet little town with little to offer other than a few cafes and a night market. What makes a trip here so special is what lies around Pai: and that is incredible nature.<br \/>It is worth renting a scooter or taking a tour to discover Pai\u2019s unique nature. A particular highlight of such a trip is the almost endless rice fields that surround Pai. Especially during the rainy season, a visit is worthwhile. Because then the rice fields seem to shine in solid green.<\/p>\n<p>During your tour through the great nature, you should also definitely plan a stop at the other\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vickiviaja.com\/things-to-do-in-pai-attractions\/\">highlights of Pai<\/a>. These include the Pai Canyon, which is especially popular as a vantage point during sunset. But the region\u2019s hot springs are also a popular spot with visitors and residents alike.<\/p>\n<p>After spending the day looking at the beautiful rice fields of Pai, it\u2019s also worth stopping by one of Pai\u2019s waterfalls.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"pai Thailand bike Famous Thailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-23192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 15 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"pai Thailand bike Famous Thailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pai-Thailand-bike-Famous-Thailand-landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 15 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thailand_Landmarks_%E2%80%93_Kanchanaburi\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thailand_Landmarks_-_Kanchanaburi\"><\/span>Thailand Landmarks \u2013 Kanchanaburi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hell_Fire_Pass\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hell_Fire_Pass\"><\/span>Hell Fire Pass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Bec from Wyld Family Travel<\/p>\n<p>Few places on earth conjure pure fear in people\u2019s minds, but one is Hellfire Pass, located just out of Kanchanaburi, Thailand.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wyldfamilytravel.com\/a-day-trip-to-hellfire-pass-kanchanaburi-thailand\/\">Taking a guided tour to Kanchanaburi from Bangkok<\/a> may be the best way for you to visit this historical WWII site. What seems like a beautiful piece of Thai landscape hides a dark secret only meters away.<\/p>\n<p>Hellfire Pass, or Konyu Cutting as it was known to the Japanese, was a place of pure misery for the Prisoners of War from the Allies forced to work on the railway. It was a part of the infamous Thai-Burma Railway and was notorious for the harsh, often deadly conditions there. It became known as the Death Railway.<\/p>\n<p>The railway had many obstacles as it was being built, but none more challenging than Konyu Cutting. The Prisoners of War had to cut through the dense rock for the railway to continue, and this was done with not much more than their bare hands or extremely basic tools given to them by their captors. As the cutting was being made, it got its name Hellfire Pass from the prisoners forced to work there. They said at night, when they walked from the pass, it looked like Dante\u2019s Inferno as they looked down into it with their comrades working by torchlight.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting with a tour guide gives you insight into what the Prisoners of War went through at Hellfire Pass and its impact on the local Thai people. Many tour guides in the area have had stories passed down to them from family.<\/p>\n<p>At the site, the Australian Government, together with the Thai Government, have erected a museum in memory of all the lives lost on the Death Railway. Here you can learn about the hardships the prisoners faced and how pure mateship and determination pulled the toughest of men through the absolute worst situation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark.jpg\" alt=\"Hellfire pass Konyu Cutting\" class=\"wp-image-23196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 16 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark.jpg\" alt=\"Hellfire pass Konyu Cutting\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Hellfire-Wyld-Thailand-landmark-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 16 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>Hellfire Pass, one of the most impressive WWII sites in Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bridge_Over_the_river_Kwai\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bridge_Over_the_river_Kwai\"><\/span>Bridge Over the river Kwai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Miriam from\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirygiramondo.com\/en\/\">Miry Giramondo<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">One of Thailand\u2019s most historically significant landmarks is the bridge over the River Kwai. The bridge was built in 1942 and is located in Kanchanaburi, 120 km away from Bangkok; it was part of the route of the Death Railway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The goal of its construction was to create a link between Thailand and Myanmar; its construction was extremely painful and resulted in the loss of numerous human lives, in particular workers and prisoners of war, who were forced into forced labor for months. The 1957 film \u201cThe Bridge on the River Kwai\u201d\u00a0is available to learn more about the story. However, this is a very dated and offensive film, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Today it is possible to cross the bridge on foot or by train that travels about 80 kilometers to Nam Toc. The surrounding area is also attractive, where there are the cemeteries of the prisoners, on whose tombstones you can read the names of all the men who lost their lives, as well as the Railway Museum and the War Museum which tell the whole story through their exhibits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">A significant event takes place every year in November. For about ten days, the River Kwai Bridge Festival takes place. It is a mix of lights, colors, and sounds, to be surprising and amusing, but above all, remember the prisoners and war dead and all those who contributed to the construction of the famous Death Railway.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Bridge Over the River KwaiThailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-23198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 17 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Bridge Over the River KwaiThailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bridge-Over-the-River-KwaiThailand-landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 17 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption> The bridge over the Kwai River in Kanchanaburi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Erawan_Falls\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Erawan_Falls\"><\/span>Erawan Falls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Erawan Falls are one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand. They are located in the North of Thailand in the Erawan National park near Kanchanaburi.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These waterfalls have seven tiers of waterfalls with stunning light turquoise water in limestone hills. The best part of these waterfalls, besides the beautiful views, is that you can swim in the lagoons of the waterfalls. Plus, you can even have a natural fish Spa; the water is full of tiny fish that will eat all the dry skin of your feet, just like going to the Spa.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the waterfalls, Erawan National park is the ideal spot to enjoy nature, hike in the middle of the dense tropical forest, and spot some animals. The climb up the tiers of waterfalls is relatively easy until the 6th tier. The last waterfall is a bit more difficult but still doable.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance fee to the park is 300 baht, and the park is easily accessible by bus (n\u00ba 8170 ) from Kanchanaburi Bus station; the last stop is Erawan Falls. Be aware that food is strictly forbidden beyond the 2nd tier. The waterfalls are also frequently packed with tourists.<\/p>\n<p>Erawan Falls are definitely a natural landmark you should visit in Thailand.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_800,h_578\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi.jpg\" alt=\"Famous Landmarks In Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-7356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi-520x376.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 18 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_800,h_578\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi.jpg\" alt=\"Famous Landmarks In Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_800\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_520\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Erawan-Falls-Kanchanaburi-520x376.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 18 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption> Erawan Falls, one of the most beautiful landmarks in Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Thai_Landmarks_%E2%80%93_Others\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Thai_Landmarks_-_Others\"><\/span>Famous Thai Landmarks \u2013 Others<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_Buddha_Phuket\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_Buddha_Phuket\"><\/span>Big Buddha Phuket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Trijit Mallick from<strong>\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dogtravelbuff.com\/best-dog-friendly-hikes-in-the-bay-area\/\">Dog Travel Buff<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located on the Nakkerd Hills in Phuket, not far from Chalong, Big Buddha is one of the most famous landmarks in Thailand. The most convenient way to get to Big Buddha is by tuk-tuk, or you can rent a bike or car. The enormous white Buddha statue is 45 meters high and 25.45 meters wide. The construction of the third largest statue in Thailand started in 2002, and it is still under construction. You can buy a piece of marble with your name and signature to be used in the construction.<\/p>\n<p>The surrounding views from the top of the mountain are stunning. Enjoy the panoramic views of Karon Beach along with Chalong and the entire southern part of the island. The place is large, well maintained, and clean. There are some other smaller Buddha statues too. You can buy souvenirs from the adjacent shops and some parts of the revenue go for charity.<\/p>\n<p>December and January are the best months to visit this place. It\u2019s not that hot or humid during winter, and you can enjoy the cool breeze from the top of the mountain with great views of the blue sea and green island.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Try to visit in the morning or evening and don\u2019t wear a short dress, else you have to wear a sarong provided for free.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Buddha statue and staircase, Thai monuments\" class=\"wp-image-23205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 19 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Buddha statue and staircase, Thai monuments\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Big-Buddha-Thailand-Landmarks-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 19 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>The giant Buddha statue in Phuket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phanom_Rung\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phanom_Rung\"><\/span>Phanom Rung<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Fredrik Goldhahn from Sticks &amp; Spoons Food Travel<\/p>\n<p>Located 65 km north of the city of Buriram in the Isaan province of Thailand, you will find Prasat Hin Phanom Rung, a Historical Park and Temple area with some of the most extensive Khmer and Buddhist Ruins in the country. Built during a period spanning from the 10th to the 13th century, Phanom Rung originally was a Hindu religious site dedicated to Shiva with many symbols and sculptures from Shiva\u2019s heavenly dwellings. However, in the Buddhist 15<sup>th<\/sup> to 18<sup>th<\/sup> centuries, several Buddhist additions were made. The Temple Area consists of a lower complex of Khmer Temple buildings, basins, and gardens, but it\u2019s at the main temple 350 meters above sea level that is the main attraction.<\/p>\n<p>The 160-meter-long precision walkway leads to impressive stairs to climb up to the main temple built on the rim of a now dormant volcano. This location of the temple symbolizes Mount Kailash, the holy mountain on top where Shiva lived. The central tower made of pink sandstone represents Mount Meru, the Hindu center of the universe, surrounded by ponds, symbols for the ocean surrounding Mount Meru. The similarities with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandtravelguides.com\/post\/destination-angkor-wat-a-top-travel-guide-to-angkor-temple-area-in-cambodia\">Angkor Wat<\/a> regarding architecture and symbolism are obvious, and Phanom Rung also lies on the ancient route from Angkor. From the top, you have a view over vast fields and rural environment with the Cambodian border just 6 km from the site, in the distance.<\/p>\n<p>Phanom Rung has been submitted to UNESCO as a future World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg\" alt=\"phanom rung sticksandspoons landmarks in Thailand 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-23209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 20 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg\" alt=\"phanom rung sticksandspoons landmarks in Thailand 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/phanom_rung_sticksandspoons-landmarks-in-Thailand-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 20 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ruins_of_Ayutthaya\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ruins_of_Ayutthaya\"><\/span>Ruins of Ayutthaya<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Becki from Meet Me In Departures<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re traveling through southern Thailand and love, ancient relics then be sure to visit the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/meetmeindepartures.com\/ayutthaya-temples-thailand\/\">ruins of Ayutthaya<\/a>. Here you\u2019ll find the remnants of one of the ancient capitals of Siam. The city of Ayutthaya was founded in approximately 1350 and was home to a thriving empire until 1767, when the Burmese invaded the city, leaving it for ruin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you visit the city today, you\u2019ll be able to see parts of this once-majestic kingdom. The Ayutthaya Historical Park\u2019 is a UNESCO-listed world heritage site, and if you visit, it\u2019s clear to see why.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most iconic images on any Thailand advertising is that of the head of a Buddha entwined in a trunk of a Bodhi tree. This iconic landmark can be found in Ayutthaya in the temple complex of Wat Mahathat.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to Ayutthaya is easy by train, especially if you\u2019re traveling from Bangkok. A frequent service runs from the central station in Bangkok to Ayutthaya, with various fares available, ranging from local to first class. The cheapest tickets will cost around 100 Thai Bhat. It takes about 2 hours to make the 80km north of the city. The ride is scenic and passes through stunning Thai countryside before arriving at Ayutthaya.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you will want to spend more than a day in Ayutthaya. The ruins are extensive, and although most of the main sites are located in the center of town, several need a bicycle or taxi to access if time is against you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When you visit the Buddha Head in the tree, first, you\u2019ll have to queue up to take the photo. The sharp eyes of the security guard will be watching over you to ensure that you don\u2019t turn your back on the Buddha Head and that the height of your head doesn\u2019t rise above the level of the Buddhas head; which means, yes, you\u2019ll have to crawl up to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_660\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Head in Tree Thailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-23210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks-150x97.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 21 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_660\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Head in Tree Thailand landmarks 26 Famous landmarks in Thailand\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Head-in-Tree-Thailand-landmarks-150x97.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 21 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>One of the most famous images of Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Landmarks_In_Thailand\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Landmarks_In_Thailand\"><\/span>Natural Landmarks In Thailand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Railay_Beach\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Railay_Beach\"><\/span>Railay Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Martina from PlacesofJuma<\/p>\n<p>One of the most beautiful natural landmarks in Thailand is Railay Beach in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.placesofjuma.com\/railay-beach-krabi-thailand\/\">Krabi<\/a>.

Krabi has an international airport, but you can also take a bus from Bangkok.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-%C2%A9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Landmarks in Thai Islands\" class=\"wp-image-23169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 22 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-%C2%A9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Landmarks in Thai Islands\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Railay-Beach-\u00a9-Jurgen-Reichenpfader-Thailand-landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 22 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>Wonderful Railay beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talay_Nai_Emerald_Lake_Ang_Thong_National_Marine_Park\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talay_Nai_Emerald_Lake_Ang_Thong_National_Marine_Park\"><\/span>Talay Nai (Emerald Lake), Ang Thong National Marine Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Steve Rohan from The Trip goes on<\/p>\n<p>Talay Nai, also known as the Blue Lagoon or Emerald Lake, is a beautiful saltwater lake located on Ko Mae Ko and within <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thetripgoeson.com\/ang-thong-marine-park\/\">Ang Thong Marine Park<\/a> in the Gulf of Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>Steep limestone cliffs and dense jungle surround the lake.

Few travelers come here, notwithstanding this is a fantastic offbeat waterfowl reserve in Thailand, with 287 species of birds, 26 reptiles, and six mammals found here. The waterfowls are both resident and migratory, and bird watchers will find different species such as painted stork, grey heron, little cormorant, and many others at different times of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Thale Noi is also famous for its spectacular \u201csea of lotus\u201d flowers, that bloom all over the surface every year from February to May, making this lake a perfect spot for\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monkeyrockworld.com\/photographing-thailand\">photography in Thailand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Local fishers here also use special fishing nets attached to moving poles, similar to those found in southern India and Sri Lanka, which will also delight photographers. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the area is quite spread out and it\u2019s hard to get to the lake with public transport from Phattalung (which is a stop on the southern leg of Thailand\u2019s railway), it\u2019s recommended to rent a motorbike or a car and visit at your leisure.

Many rate Hin Bai as the best spot for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/diving-schools-in-koh-tao\/\">Scuba diving in Thailand<\/a>. Strong currents turn this solitary dive site into a haven for marine life, with many giant pelagic shark and fish species frequenting Sail Rock.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the best experiences here are to be surrounded by massive schools of fish like Chevron Barracuda and Big eye Trevally. Schooling Longfin Batfish and Giant Groupers close to the pinnacle makes it feel like you are diving in an aquarium. The shark life around Sail Rock is world-renowned, and divers can see Bull sharks and enormous whale sharks exploring this area. Hin Bai also has terrific opportunities for macro photographers with plenty of small critters living in the colorful hard and soft coral covering reef stretches.<\/p>\n<p>This spectacular underwater landmark is easy to reach from Koh Tao, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Fish Sail Rock (Hin Bai) \" class=\"wp-image-23194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 25 famous landmarks in thailand\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024,h_683\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Fish Sail Rock (Hin Bai) \" class=\"lazyload wp-image-23194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_1024\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_300\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_768\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sp-ao.shortpixel.ai\/client\/to_auto,q_lossless,ret_img,w_150\/https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diving-Sail-Rock-Thailand-Landmarks-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"26 Famous landmarks in Thailand 25 famous landmarks in thailand\"><figcaption>Fish in Sail Rock (Hin Bai)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maya_Bay_Ko_Phi_Phi_Le\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maya_Bay_Ko_Phi_Phi_Le\"><\/span>Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi Le <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Maya Bay is possibly the most famous landmark in Thailand.
