Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/chiang-mai/ https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/chiang-mai/ Chiang Mai is the adventure capital of northern Thailand: an easy-going old city ringed by forested mountains where you can trek to hill villages, raft the Mae Taeng, fly through the canopy on a zipline and meet rescued elephants on their own terms.

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/krabi/ https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/krabi/ Krabi is Thailand’s vertical playground: a coast of jungle-topped limestone towers where you can climb above a beach in the morning, paddle through a mangrove canyon after lunch and be on an island sandbar by sunset.

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/phi-phi-lanta/ https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/phi-phi-lanta/ Two islands, an hour apart by ferry, that could hardly be more different: dramatic, car-free Koh Phi Phi with its cliffs, lagoons and dive sites, and long, easy-going Koh Lanta with empty beaches, mangroves and boat trips to some of the best snorkelling in the Andaman. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/samui-phangan/ https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/samui-phangan/ The two big islands of the Gulf of Thailand are the base for one of the country’s finest sea days — kayaking and snorkelling in Ang Thong National Marine Park — and for jungle waterfalls, summit hikes and beaches that are at their best when the Andaman coast is in monsoon. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/koh-tao/ https://thailandadventures.com/destinations/koh-tao/ Tiny Koh Tao — “Turtle Island” — certifies more new scuba divers than almost anywhere on Earth, and backs that up with easy snorkelling among turtles and reef sharks, short steep hikes to granite viewpoints and the three-island sandbar of Koh Nang Yuan.
