Thailand 's Tourist Attractions
Variety is indeed the spice of life in Thailand. Bangkok, the
capital city, can puzzle visitors with its hectic pace of life. But a short drive away, the tranquil
charm of rural towns awaits. From the golden spires of temples to the majestic ruins of ancient capitals,
from the capital’s high-rise edifices to the simple houses of country villagers, there is no shortage of
choice. Thailand’s miraculous combination of respect for the past with zest for the new and a joy in
today’s pleasures guarantees visitors the most enjoyable travel experience. But if you are looking for something exotic, would like to experience
the charm of the Orient, plenty of things await in Thailand. Whether you are enthusiastic for arts and
culture, nature, sports, entertainment, shopping, or whatever, Thailand has plenty to offer.
For pure holiday-making magic, Thailand's islands and beaches
are working definitions of heaven. And as for urban delights, the huge metropolis of Bangkok, although
it can alarm with its chaos and its scale, tends to so charm visitors with its energy and cultural treasures. |

Chon Buri (81 km), other places of interest are plentiful in this province - Khao Sam Muk, where stands the Chao Mae Sam Muk Shrine highly revered by Thais; Bang Saen, the
nearest-to-Bangkok beach resort for families; Ko Sichang, a paradise island whose name has become the title of a song.

things that prove irresistible to both foreign and domestic tourists.
