Top 9 Fun Things To Do In Thailand

Thai tourism isn't always the great shopping places and attractive street food but also many other interesting things to explore. Let’s find out top 9 fun things to do in Thailand through the following article!

1. Boat Trip On Chao Phraya River

Sitting on the boat for sightseeing, visitors will have a clear picture of daily life in Bangkok and feel the peaceful life of the residents located along the banks, see the wooden houses built on the water, feel the taste, image and cuisine of a real life.

The Chao Phraya River is also full of fish. They are all natural fishes in the river, belonging to Royal Family so no one is allowed to catch. Their food is the bread from visitors. 

2. Eating like the indigenous people

Discovering the local cuisine is one of the fun things to do in Thailand. Do not try to order Thai noodles every time you eat. Look for Tom yam (spicy soup with lemongrass, fish sauce, and chili) or Som Tam (green papaya salad) to experience as local people. Curries, coconut, fried noodles, and spicy dishes are typical of Thai cuisine. Also, don't forget the fresh tropical fruits of this country such as jackfruit, mango, durian, papaya, and tamarind.

Wat Pho also has a school so if you are interested, you can also learn the Thai massage to practice at home. We suggest that you book before you walk around the corner because after lunch it is extremely crowded and busy. Massage service in Thailand is quite cheap, only about 10 USD and there are many options for you to choose.

4. Seeing Thai Boxing (Muay Thai)

Muay Thai is a traditional sport in Thailand. You can go to Ratchadamnoen Stadium to see lively or to Thailand in March to attend the World Wai Kru Muay Thai ceremony at Ayutthaya Historical Park with 1,000 gladiators from 65 countries around the world.
