The natural scenery in Thailand is stunning and second to none. Anyone who enjoys spending time outside may find something to their liking in Thailand, since the country is home to everything from untouched beaches to verdant jungles.
The fact that most of Thailand’s natural landscape has not been developed or altered in any significant way is one of the country’s greatest assets. Although certain changes have been brought about in the nation due to development and tourism, there are still numerous undeveloped and unspoiled regions. When travellers discover the natural beauties of Thailand, they will have the opportunity to have an experience that is genuinely genuine because of this.
Phu Kradueng National Park
Phu Kradueng National Park provides a challenging adventure for those who are looking for extra excitement on their travels. It takes between three and four hours to reach the summit, which is located at an elevation of 1,220 metres. On the route to the top, we will pass through a number of waterfalls and streams, and as we climb higher, the vegetation will begin to change. It is strongly advised that you travel light, pack enough water and some food to refresh your strength, and that you do this since the weather and the difficulty of the journey are both challenging. The park can be found in the Loei province that can be found in the far northwestern part of Thailand.
Talay Bua Daeng (The Red Lotus Sea)
There are numerous stunning locations in the Kingdom of Thailand; nevertheless, Talay Bua Daeng is often regarded as one of the most breathtaking vistas in the whole of Thailand. A gorgeous pink lotus blossom blankets the surface of this interior lake, which is also known as the Red Lotus Sea. The clean waters of Talay Bua Daeng Lake are transformed into a rose-hued spectacle when pink water lilies bloom there between the months of October and January. This phenomenon may be seen as far as the eye can see. Take in the breathtaking scenery from the comfort of a boat.
Loei
Loei ought to be at the top of the list for vacationers who are eager to explore some of the world’s remaining undiscovered regions. This part of the planet is home to some of the most breathtaking waterfalls, reservoirs, and national parks in the whole world. Phu Kradueng National Park is a popular destination for people who enjoy trekking due to the stunning waterfalls and perspectives that can be found there. In addition, it is possible to get there by public transportation from all of the neighboring provinces.
Phu Langka
There is a distant village in the province of Phayao called Phu Lang Ka. It is located in the highlands. The starting point of an ascent that leads to a viewpoint that is 1,700 metres above ground level and is located within Phu Lang Ka National Park is located here. A distinctive landscape characterised by karstic structures that, on many instances, does not emerge from the mist until late in the day. In addition, the park is home to a wide range of animals, such as tigers, bears, squirrels, and an abundance of bird species. The expedition and the ascent to the highest point should ideally be undertaken in the early morning or late afternoon, around the time of sunrise and sunset, when the sky is at its most captivating and the landscape is bathed in the brightest possible light.
Doi Inthanon National Park
Since it was established in 1972, Doi Inthanon National Park has developed into a well-known tourist attraction in the northern region of Thailand. Doi Inthanon, which stands at an elevation of 2,565 metres above mean sea level and is the tallest peak in Thailand, is preserved inside this park. This natural area, which cannot be found anywhere else in Thailand, stands at an elevation that is 300 metres higher than everywhere else. A highly unique montane forest may be found in the region that is located at a higher altitude.
The winding road that leads to the summit features several pull-offs and access points to the ever-evolving forest that we pass through as we ascend. The thick forest is home to a network of hiking paths, many of which end in imposing waterfalls. The months of November through February might bring about a chill in the highlands, but the brisk weather that prevails there is one of the primary draws for tourists coming from other parts of Thailand.
Pang Ung
One of the Thai highland development projects that Queen Sirikit was particularly interested in was called Pang Ung. Approximately forty kilometres separate it from the city of Mae Hong Song, which is located relatively near Myanmar’s border. There is a camping place in the lake that appears to be alpine in appearance. Because of the incredible beauty of the first rays of the light penetrating the trees and mist and reflecting on the surface of the lake, people flock to this location early in the morning to watch the sunrise.
Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary in Tak
UNESCO has designated the Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary as a World Heritage Site in order to preserve its unique avian, plant, mammalian, and reptilian inhabitants. Several river systems, including the Mae Klong and Mae Klong Yai rivers, may be found included inside the park. You may go on an exciting rafting journey while taking in the scenery of the towering limestone cliffs that flank the river. The Thi Lor Su waterfall in Tak province is Thailand’s most impressive and may be seen within the park. The water crashes down the limestone cliffs from a height of three hundred metres, creating a breathtaking natural show in the process. You may get a better view of the waterfalls from a distance, or you can swim in the pools that they create.
Ban Laem Mangroves
The tranquil riverbank town of Ban Laem may be found twenty kilometres from the city core of Nakhon Si Thammarat. The Mangrove Forest Conservation Community is engaged in activities such as replanting in mangroves, fabric dyeing, and handcraft production, all of which incorporate environmentally responsible techniques. There, you have the opportunity to have a tourist experience that is an immersion in the community, and you even have the chance to stay with Thai families. During our time here, we will participate in the everyday activities of the locals, build relationships with the families, and get the opportunity to eat truly authentic food that the families themselves prepared. Bird viewing is a popular activity in the vicinity of Ban Laem.
Mae Klong River
Located in the far north of Thailand and sharing a border with Myanmar, the province of Tak is characterized by its steep terrain and densely forested landscape. A number of cultural groups, such as the Karen, are able to keep their traditional way of life here as a result of the region’s mountainous and difficult topography. Rivers such as the Mae Klong provide travelers with an option for traversing the region. It is possible to cross the river using a pneumatic boat, which allows for the exploration of locations that would not normally be reachable, such as caverns and waterfalls. The river is surrounded by a tropical forest, which supplies a sufficient supply of water in the form of numerous tiny streams and sinkholes, which in some cases, emerge from the vertical walls of the canyon. Some waterfalls provide a one-of-a-kind environment in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrate the thick foliage and fall upon the water below. The journey downstream on the Mae Klong River is one that is recommended for those who are just starting out in whitewater rafting since it contains sections of water that are reasonably tranquil and let you appreciate both the natural setting and the excitement of the journey.
Na Muang Waterfalls
It is possible to visit the Na Muang waterfalls, which are situated around 12 kilometers inland from Nathon Bay and can be reached on foot, if you are interested in connecting with nature. These waterfalls are located a short distance from the Krabi beaches. The initial waterfall, which is referred to as Na Muang 1, drops into a stunning natural pool that serves as a welcome relief from the sweltering heat. The smaller but no less alluring Na Muang 2 may be reached by an uphill trek of around half an hour. Because the surroundings of the waterfalls are dense and overgrown with vegetation, extreme caution is required to avoid slipping on the trail.
Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park
Mu Ko Ang Thong is one of the marine national parks that Thailand has to offer. One of the most breathtaking views of the Gulf of Thailand may be had as a result of the close vicinity of the many islands, each of which is of a distinct size and form. All of the islands, with the exception of one, are covered in lush tropical flora and deserted. This location was used for the filming of several sequences in the well-known movie “La playa.” Among the many different types of active tourism that are available in the park, some of the alternatives include snorkelling, kayaking, scuba diving, and hiking.
Satan
There are two national parks and a wildlife sanctuary that are a part of the Satun UNESCO Global Geopark, which takes up almost half of the province that shares the same name. The geopark is well-known across Southeast Asia for the amount and variety of fossils that can be found there. These fossils include, amongst other things, trilobites, brachiopods, and stromatolites. It is also known as the Paleozoic Fossil Land. The most recognised scenery of the geopark is formed by the karst pinnacles of Prasat Hin Payod, its caves, and its unique hidden lagoon. In order to explore this landscape, it is required to travel out to the open sea using a boat, and then use a kayak later on. The use of the kayak makes it possible for geotourism to be carried out in a responsible and moral manner, which contributes to increased levels of respect for the environment and improved knowledge of it.
