Things to do in Thailand
Bangkok
The Grand Palace - Touring the grand palace will give you an inside look at the stunning ancient temples. The colorful architecture will leave you speechless. The king of Thailand still uses this for royal ceremonies and events.
Krabi
Rent a private long tail boat to the Phi Phi islands. When you think of Thailand, you think of the Phi Phi islands: stunning clear blue water, white sand beaches, enormous and unique rock formations. Your guide will take you to the famous Maya Bay featured in the movie "The Beach" staring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Phuket
Relax on the beautiful beach in Rawaii while sipping a coconut after a fabulous Thai massage.
Tour the island and visiting the Big Buddha, Old Town Phuket and Wat Chalong Temple.
Places to eat & drink in Thailand
Salathip Thai (Bangkok) - Incredible authentic Thai food, right on the river. Make sure to try the red curry and scallop appetizer.
Octave Rooftop Bar (Bangkok) - Specialty cocktails with the best views of Bangkok.
Cosmo (Phuket) - Stunning views, they offer a mix of authentic Thai food as well as Western food.
Rock Salt (Phuket) - Oceanfront oasis offering Mediterranean delights, fresh seafood and world-class wine.
Prime (Phuket) When the chef comes out and introduces himself, you know it's going to be good. Grass-fed Australian steaks, fresh oysters and decadent desserts.
Need to know
When visiting Thailand, I recommend visiting during the dry season. For most areas, this takes place from December-April. Traveling during the summer months June-September can bring heavy rains and can make for an unpleasant experience. Please make sure when you are visiting the temples in Thailand to cover your shoulders and knees before entering. I highly recommend pre-purchasing your tickets as it can get quite crowded.
