Things To Experience Whilst On A Thailand Holiday
|
Zipline Canopy Tour: In Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai to be precise) is an old rainforest, dating back 15 centuries, in which 'The Flight of the Gibbon Adventure Tour' operates. You can access the top and middle layers of this rainforest through a combination of platforms, sky bridges and ziplines. It can be a little bit fast and scary, but it is totally safe, and there are plenty of families that get involved as well as your typical adrenalin junkies. Songkran Festival: Songkran is one of the most celebrated festivals of Thailand. It begins on the 13th of April and lasts for about 3-10 days, depending on which part of Thailand you are in. It is a time when Thai people, and tourists in the country, come together to celebrate the new Solar Year. The main way of celebrating this festival is to throw water over as many people as possible and, as such, the whole of Thailand becomes one big water fight battle ground. As this takes place at the hottest time of the year in Thailand, it is not only fun to get involved, it is also refreshing too! Rock Climbing: Climbers of all ages and abilities have been visiting Thailand for years so as to experience the amazing limestone rock formations that are widespread there. Adventurous tourists are also attracted, and several guiding companies have met that demand. Wee's Climbing School in the south of Thailand has a proven reputation, however, with fame, comes crowds. If you want fewer people, cooler weather, great rock, and excellent guides, head north and check out Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures. Elephant Nature Park: Elephant parks are plentiful for in Thailand, but one that stands out from the rest is the Elephant Nature Park in northern Thailand. It was built in the 1990's and is set in a gorgeous valley that is surrounded by a river and mountains. The park is located in the province of Chiang Mai, about 60km from the city, and it has provided a home to more than thirty distressed elephants from all over Thailand. The basic aim of this park is to provide a rescue center and a sanctuary for the elephants. It sets itself apart from other elephant camps by promoting elephant tourism based on respect and dignity for the animals. There are no rides or soccer-playing elephants here, but you do get to interact with them and bathe them.
