Cat Tien


Located 150 km north of Ho Chi Minh City, this natural national park is one of the largest in Vietnam with no less than 70,000 hectares. This region is filled with a dense rainforest where hundreds of species of animals are dwelling. Whether it is a woodpecker or a crocodile, numerous wildlife and tropical flora are present in this huge natural biosphere. It is a place for relaxation and discovery, ideal for the adventurers.

Isan Region

Often neglected by most tourists, yet Isan offers incredible natural wonders through discovering the more authentic and rural side of Thailand.

The majestic National Parks as well as the Angkorian ruins are perfect places for trekking, leaving great memories to travellers.

Kampot

Kampot is the main city of the province, overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. 

It is the ideal spot to visit the Bokor National Park, relaxing on the Kep Beach or discovering the wonderful Koh Tonsay, also known as the Rabbit Island.

Khao Yai 

Located in the Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Khao Yai is the third largest National Park of Thailand. Within its 2000 km2 space, a diverse fauna and flora are grouped together.

Many treks will allow travellers to admire different waterfalls, colorful birds and other jungle animals.

Krabi

If the south be the crown of Thailand’s stunning coastal regions, then Krabi is surely one of the most sparkling of jewels within that crown.

Situated on the Andaman seaboard, it has some of the finest and most beautiful beaches in the Kingdom.

Almost virgin stretches of alluring soft sands welcome the visitor and the spectacular waters invite moments of blissful swimming, snorkelling and other marine pleasures.

Krabi is also known for its historical significance. Stone tools, ancient drawings, pottery and skeletal remains found in the region have been dated back tens of thousands of years. To describe Krabi as a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a pleasing tropical climate is an understatement. The pace of life here is unhurried and some beaches can be reached only by boat, a notion which lends itself to that unmistakable island getaway atmosphere.

The area is growing in recognition as a resort destination offering a less developed alternative to bustling Phuket. A range of accommodation is available, much of it in the main centre of Ao Nang, where there is as well a selection of restaurants and shops. There is also stunning national park land to explore, with the presence of Hat Noppharat Thara-Ko Phi Phi National Park.

And for those looking for a touch of adventure to add to their ‘fun in the sun’, Krabi certainly delivers: kayaking, sailing, rock climbing, trekking, cave exploration and island hopping are on the list of activities here.

Trang

Relatively small numbers of Thai people can claim to have visited this splendidly scenic part of their own land, and if it is amazingly well endowed with natural beauty, its other great asset is being one of Thailand's little-known tourist secrets.

Whilst an average of one plane every few minutes uses Phuket's busy runway, Trang's tranquil airport (opened in 1999) welcomes just a handful of flights a day, with the few overseas visitors on board generously outnumbered by Thai businessmen and local citizens.

At the nearby seaport of Kantang, the charming 19th century train station marks the terminal of the South-western Thai railway, adding to the comforting end-of-the line feeling in this lovely part of the Kingdom, with the noise and pollution of Bangkok some 830 kilometres and 15 hours up the track. 

Here, lazy beach lounging and stunning sightseeing attractions can be enjoyed without the standard recipe that tends to define and often defile tourist resorts everywhere, and since over two thirds of the province has been designated as national parkland, thoughtful ecological considerations are likely to shape future development.

Ubon Ratchathani 


Located Northeast of Thailand, on the border with Laos, Ubon Ratchathani is mainly consist of forest and farms ideal to explore nature. 

Its national parks are an opportunity to learn more about the fauna and flora typical of Thailand. Since it was once connected to the Khmer Empire, the region is also home to numerous Angkorian temples.
