Cities of Thailand
Of course, in the direction of Southeast Asia, people strive primarily in search of eternal summer and luxurious beach vacations. And all this they find in abundance on the shores of Thailand, with their endless golden beaches washed by the waters of the warm Indian Ocean. But it would be unreasonable frivolity not to pay attention to the host country itself. This is a state with an ancient culture, unique in its expressiveness. The cities of Thailand contain a considerable number of architectural and sculptural artifacts of one of the oldest in the history of Buddhist civilizations. But even if you do not fixate on the sights, it will be just very interesting to watch the life of a distant Asian exotic country from close range . The cities of Thailand are scattered along the coast and inland. But acquaintance with them most often begins with the capital. Bangkok is a large vibrant city, one of the largest megacities of Southeast Asia. It makes a strong impression with the urban outlines of its skyscrapers, but here there are the largest number of palaces, parks, museums, ancient temples and other monuments of traditional Thai culture.
And not far from the capital is the well-known Pattaya - a place of beach relaxation, noisy entertainment, bars and discos. A map of Thailand with cities usually captures the viewer's attention at beach resorts and the shortest paths leading to them. Not everyone notices on it, for example,
Chiang Mai in the north of the country. It is remote from the seas, but it is one of the most beautiful cities in Thailand, one of the most important cultural and spiritual centers of this country. Here are the most ancient and revered temples of the Buddhist world. If you are interested in oriental spirituality, then here you are. Chiang Mai is located between the picturesque mountain slopes with dense equatorial vegetation and has a highly developed tourist infrastructure.
Cities and resorts of Thailand
And in search of a high-level beach holiday, you should go a little south. The famous resorts of Thailand are located both in the mainland and on the islands. Big and small. First of all, of course, the famous island of Phuket, located off the southwestern coast of the country in the Andaman Sea. The pristine nature almost untouched by civilization is combined here with a highly developed tourist infrastructure, which makes vacation in these places unforgettable.
Phuket is not inferior to anything smaller and less visited by the public islands - Samui, Koh Phangan and
Koh Chang. If you prefer a vacation without noise and crush, you can find it on these secluded patches of land in the Andaman Sea.
