Friendly, safe, rich in culture and national parks full of wildlife, the country where even street food is ‘divine’… Thailand is for everyone! Travel with Untamed to ‘the Free Land’, where the people are unprecedentedly cordial and greet you with a smile. Where the world can’t find you\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n In the mountainous north you will find rugged nature with forests, waterfalls and wildlife. It is also the area inhabited by traditional mountain peoples. Chiang Mai <\/strong>and Chiang Rai<\/strong> are strongholds of Buddhism; a visit to some temples is among the highlights of a tour. Scattered throughout Thailand are more than 30,000 temples. In the south you will find the lively city of Phuket<\/strong> and the most paradisiacal islands and beaches, such as Koh Samui<\/strong>, the Phi Phi Islands<\/strong> and the beaches of Krabi<\/strong>. The list of tropical islands and resorts is extremely long and provides a blissful menu of choices for relaxing days by the sea. In the central part of Thailand lies hip & happening<\/em> Bangkok<\/strong>. The metropolis is surrounded by districts full of sleepy rural villages, temples and floating markets. You will also find historical remains of the Khmer and World War II.<\/p>\n Nature is improbably green and in all corners of Thailand there are amazingly beautiful nature reserves and national parks, such as Khao Sok NP<\/strong>, Kanchanaburi NP<\/strong> and Doi Inthanon NP<\/strong>. Explore the magnificent nature by boat and on foot, and look for elephants, gibbons, sambar deer and pangolins. Thailand is also undisputedly one of the absolute top destinations for birdwatchers, because of the many different habitats, each with their specific richness of species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Street food, temples and tropical beaches and vast nature reserves with elephants and gibbons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":327021,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"country":[246],"continent_category":[217],"class_list":["post-30681","countries","type-countries","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-thailand","continent_category-asia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries\/30681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/countries"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=30681"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=30681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Temples and tropical beaches<\/h3>\n
