If you are planning a spicy holiday in fiery Thailand, you will not be disappointed. There are surprisingly various things to do in Thailand that will give you thrills, and keep you in awe at the same time. Here are some amazing discoveries you might find useful before stepping into this beautiful country with its famed beaches, delectable cuisine, and fascinating culture.

• Crystal blue waters and white sandy beaches are all yours for the taking. The most sought after things to do in Thailand are those that its beaches are out to offer. Water activities or simply beach bumming is a great way to experience this destination. When you do plan a beach holiday, however, be sure to choose the road less travelled. The beach doesn’t have to be situated in Phuket or Ko Samui or Krabi Province. Although they offer a great deal of top calibre beach experience, it would not be difficult to experience the same if you go for Ko Lipe, a small, unspoiled island in the midst of Tarutao National Park.

• Thai food is even better than you think. If you think you know enough about how delectably amazing and savoury Thai dishes are, you haven’t tasted anything yet until you get there. A gastronomic adventure is one of the best things to do in Thailand. The local cuisine offers a broad selection of impressive recipes concocted out of unusual combinations of ingredients. Something you should watch for is when the major thoroughfares become a banquet for budget feasts.

• Shopping is a national obsession. The locals love to shop and that’s a good thing even for visiting tourists because you’ll never get short of retail outlets to buy something from. There are a handful of new malls being constructed at the same time Thailand hotels have come to populate key destinations in the country.

• Bangkok is a key city. You cannot say you have seen the best of the country if you have not been to its capital. There are many things to do in Bangkok and they are quite amusing. Spa and wellness centres, golf clubs, shopping malls, and night markets are among the go to areas for some quality relaxation. It is also a foodie capital with its wide array of stalls, restaurants, cafés, and whatnots.

• Party on in various island destinations. It is not only Phuket where all night beach parties can be had. There are lots of them all over. It is up to you to secure an accommodation in Bangkok or elsewhere in Thailand. But, one thing’s for sure, you’ll not be too far away from the party scene wherever you decide to secure a home.
