With stunning hillsides, rainforests, mountain ranges and incredible ocean settings, Thailand is the perfect place to spend a few weeks, or maybe even years! While Thailand is most famous for its beaches, there is so much more adventure to find in this amazing country. From flying through the jungle like a monkey, to lady-boy's strutting their stuff, to the biggest water fight in the world, Thailand delivers some serious adventure goods. Here are just a few ideas to spice up your trip...
Zipline Canopy Tour: In Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai to be precise) is an old rainforest, dating back 15 centuries, in which 'The Flight of the Gibbon Adventure Tour' operates. You can access the top and middle layers of this rainforest through a combination of platforms, sky bridges and ziplines. The ziplines are fast, but there are plenty of families and non-adrenalin junkies that aren't scared off.
Songkran Festival: Songkran is one of the most celebrated festivals of Thailand. It begins on the-th of April and lasts for about 3-10 days, depending on which part of Thailand you are in. It is a time when Thai people, and tourists in the country, come together to celebrate the new Solar Year. Water is the main component of celebrating this festival. Given that this festival lies in the hottest time of the year, people have their giant super soakers out and buckets out. It is probably the biggest water fight in the world. You will find water fights in almost every small village in Thailand.
Rock Climbing: Climbers of all ages and abilities have been visiting Thailand for years so as to experience the amazing limestone rock formations that are widespread there. With so many adventure tourists visiting, it no surprise to find that several specialist companies have formed to cater to their needs. Of the many available, Wee's Climbing School is considered to the best in the south of South Thailand, and Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures the best in the North.
Elephant Nature Park: Elephant parks are plentiful for in Thailand, but one that stands out from the rest is the Elephant Nature Park in northern Thailand. Set in a beautiful valley which is surrounded by rivers and mountains, there could hardly be a more appropriate place to have built it. The park is located in the province of Chiang Mai, about 60km from the city, and it has provided a home to more than thirty distressed elephants from all over Thailand. The basic aim of this park is to provide a rescue center and a sanctuary for the elephants. It sets itself apart from other elephant camps by promoting elephant tourism based on respect and dignity for the animals. There are no rides or soccer-playing elephants here, but you do get to interact with them and bathe them.
