Whilst Thailand as a whole is a great nation to explore, the country does have its favourites; amongst these, you should definitely plan a trip to the following areas. Bangkok; the city should not be given a miss for that quintessential Thai experience of shopping, temple hopping, night markets, entertainment and gorging on the famous street food. On the flip side are Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, where you get to explore the mountains, Nomadic hill-tribes and ancient culture. For diving, boat excursions across Emerald green seas and fab sun, sea and sand adventures, Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta amongst others are top favourites.
