Surrounded by the mountains of northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is regarded by many as its rightful, historic capital. It’s a fascinating and successful mix of old and new, where 1,000-year-old temples and quiet monastery gardens exist side by side with glittering new hotels and shopping malls.

Railay is a small peninsula that is only accessible by boat due to the high limestone cliffs cutting off mainland access. These cliffs attract rock climbers from all over the world. Travelers interested in learning how to scale these rocks will find a number of instructors in the area willing to literally show them the ropes. Do not miss the Phra Nang Beach when you are here.

Thailand is famous for its beaches and beach parties. One of the wildest parties that you could imagine happening at the Koh Phangan. The crescent-shaped beach of Haad Rin has one of the best views on the full moon in Thailand. What started out as a one-off Full moon part is now a cult. There are almost 10,000-30,000 people at the party each month. The party begins at dusk and as the evening progresses the beach explodes into a dancing frenzy as different m.c.’s take their turn to up the tempo!
