A Journey To Discover Incredible Corners Of Thailand
Its beaches, its temples and its landscapes are unmistakable. But there are incredible corners of Thailand that may surprise you and that you might never have imagined you could find here. We want to show you some, so that you know another side of this beautiful country.
1. Incredible corners of Thailand : Sam Phan Bok
They call it the “Grand Canyon of Thailand.” It is a surreal landscape shaped by the Mekong River. In it, thousands of small pools are discovered that shape one of those incredible corners of Thailand that you should not miss. How many puddles are there? If we pay attention to the name of this place, there are three thousand. In the dry season is when its beauty can best be appreciated.
2. Erawan waterfalls
The heart of the Erawan National Park hides this magical place. Crossing the forest you will discover some beautiful waterfalls of deep blue waters. They say that at their birth they are shaped like a white elephant’s head, which is why their name honors this animal from Hindu mythology. The best, that you can take a dip in them.
3. Sa Morakot
In the province of Krabi we find another dream place. Sa Morakot is “strewn” with wonderful natural pools with completely transparent waters. A perfect little paradise to enjoy a very relaxing day taking a bath in its warm waters. Although, yes, it is usually quite crowded.
4. Nong Han
It is one of the most beautiful and amazing places in Thailand. Thousands of pink water lilies and lotus flowers almost cover the surface of this lake. The best time to admire this sea of flowers is between the beginning of December and the end of January. And you can tour the lake by boat to enjoy it. Quite an experience.
5. Monkey Beach
The Phi Phi archipelago is well known, but it has corners that are not so well known. One of them is this, a beach that lives up to its name and is frequented by curious visitors. They are monkeys that delight those who come here. Of course, if they do not receive the food they are expecting, they can take anything else, so it is best not to lose sight of the belongings.
6. Pha Chor
It is one of the great attractions of the Mae Wang National Park. They are impressive rock walls up to 30 meters high that seem to be carved in a whimsical way. Actually the “artist” was the Ping River, which by changing its course left this curious place in sight and which is one of those incredible corners of Thailand that is worth discovering.
7. Mo Hin Khao
Many compare it to Stonehenge, and it can indeed remind you of that mysterious corner of England. But the differences are remarkable. Apparently these towering rocks look like megaliths, although in reality they are rock formations carved over millions of years by air and rain. However, at sunset or shrouded in mist they are fascinating.
8. Chiang Khao Cave
Thailand also has treasures underground and one of them is this cave, one of the largest in the country. Twelve kilometers of tunnel in which you can see spectacular stalagmites and stalactites, as well as a small Buddhist shrine between them. Of course, you have to visit it with a guide.
9. Mae Salong
The next of our incredible corners of Thailand is the Mae Salong Hills. It is a beautiful agricultural area of the country where tea plantations cover everything. And a curiosity, visiting it is like seeing a piece of China, and it has an explanation: part of the population are Chinese who fled their country in the 50s and 60s.
10. Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew
In Thailand there are wonderful temples, but none as peculiar as this one. It is built entirely from beer bottles . The idea of recycling the bottles in this peculiar way was from some Buddhist monks and its success has been such that the site already has several temples and continues to grow thanks to the contributions they receive.
