Best of Vacation 2018-2019

Ratchaburi / Suan Phueng
This bordering district of Ratchaburi would have fallen
off the travellers’ radar had it not been for a string of
Mediterranean-themed resorts dotting its mountainous
landscape.
Most are destinations in themselves, complete with a horse
ranch, sheep farm, trickling streams and European gardens.
But securing a room at one of these resort farms requires
advance planning, as each has only a limited number of
rooms and, believe it or not, they fill in very fast.
Ayutthaya
Just a quick train ride or drive from Bangkok Ayutthaya is a
must see Unesco World Heritage site, dotting the landscape
with centuries old temples.
Reminiscent of times past, Ayutthaya was once home to the
capitol of the ancient Siam kingdom that existed from 1351 to
1767. Try to visit 9 temples in one day for an added boost of
luck and good fortune.
Kanchanaburi
Kanchanaburi province, located a few hours from Bangkok
offers a plethora of activities for Travelers.
Some include a visit to the infamous River Kwai, The World
War memorial museum and cemetery, as well as Hellfire Pass
are major draws for day activities. Be sure to see Erawan falls,
one of the largest and most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand. This
province burgeons more and more each year, popular with
local and foreign tourist for its renowned riverside weekends in
floating hotels.
Amphawa Floating Market
An afternoon floating market by the canal near Wat Amphawan
Chetiyaram (parking is available).
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 12am – 8pm, the Amphawa
Canal is occupied by vendors who pack their boats with
