Unusual Thailand is a part of a popular country that tourists are not used to. This includes hard-to-reach sights, shocking places, or simply monuments, which for some reason passed.
Chinatown in Bangkok
This area of the capital of Thailand does not count tourist spot, but it is worth visiting for the sake of a bright, original atmosphere and shopping for souvenirs. It's easy to get to it - buses, taxis, tuk-tuk and even the metro go here. But most often people come to the market by river express from the Banglamploo and Saphan Taksin piers.
You should definitely buy fruits, oriental spices, gold jewelry and fabrics here. Jewelry considered exclusive - many of them are handmade.
It is recommended to try authentic Chinese cuisine here - Peking duck, shark fins, fried chestnuts and much more. Expensive restaurants are located on Yaowarat Street, while cheaper ones are located in neighboring streets. The restaurant with elite tea Double Dogs Tea Room is considered good.
There is an attraction inside the quarter - the Temple of the Golden Buddha. Go to the clubs on Phadung Dao Rd and Texas. Here Chinese is celebrated on a grand scale New Year and the Vegetarian Festival at the end of October.
Temple of a million bottles
One of the most interesting temples in Thailand is built from empty glass beer bottles. The temple was opened in 2008, but the collection of glass containers began in 1984. According to the monks, it is built from one and a half million bottles. Everything is made of them - walls, columns, floors. From additional materials- only cement for bonding. Construction continues, and the monks themselves are confident that their temple will soon become a symbol of the struggle for the ecological stability of the world.
The temple complex stands in the town of Kong Han, 650 kilometers from Bangkok. The easiest way to get there is by plane to the local Ubon Ratchathani airport. It is very close to the airport, buses and taxis run.
Lhau village in Chiang Rai
In the mountains in the north of Thailand, there are original tribes - Lao, Burmese, Lhau and others. Their way of life has not changed for hundreds of years - they still build houses from bamboo, profess their religion and speak an ancient language.
Lhau villages can be interesting to visit - their residents are happy to receive tourists and sell their products. You can observe their way of life and plunge into a real primitive culture.
The easiest way to get to the villages on the road from the city of Pai - one is in front of the Mo Pang waterfall, the other in front of Ban Payang.
Long-necked Karen village
Another interesting village in Mae Hong Son province is the Karen village of Nai Soi. It is the Karen who are known all over the world thanks to the tradition of their women to lengthen their necks with rings. The entrance costs 200 baht, tourists are often taken to the village.
Another lesser-known village, Ban Mai Nai Soi, stands by the refugee camp. From there you can get from Nai Soy on foot or by motorbike.
Temple of Heaven and Hell
The Temple of Heaven and Hell is a popular but unusual place. It is located in Bang Saen, 40 kilometers from. In fact, this is a garden at a Buddhist monastery, where shocking sculptures depicting the fate of sinners and righteous people after death are exhibited.
At first, the sculptures depict the life and deeds of Buddha meditating in the Garden of Eden of the righteous - everything looks kindly. But gradually the exposition turns to hell - the terrifying figures of the afterlife. In the center of hell there are two huge figures of a man and a woman, emaciated, with huge tongues.
Most often Thais go to the park, as the sight is sometimes shocking for tourists. But for people with strong nerves and an interest in local culture, it is definitely worth a visit here. Only with small children it is better not to go here.
You can get to Bang Saen from Pattaya by minibus. Another way is to get to Sukhumvit and take a minibus there. From Bangkok, there is a regular bus from Victory Monument metro station. You can take a taxi. In the city itself there are signs to the temple - it's hard to get lost.
Sinners Park in Thailand
The Park of Sinners in Suphanburi province, 40 kilometers from Bangkok, looks like the Temple of Heaven and Hell. There is no paradise here, only figures depicting the torment of sinners. Everything is also very surreal and creepy - the atmosphere is complemented by an eerie voice from the speakers. The place is slightly less popular than the first temple, but also very interesting.
It is believed that the park is educational in nature - the Thais bring children here to convince them to behave. But tourists rarely come here with children - such creepy pictures are not close to our culture.
Bar "Overstay"
This is a 24-hour bar in Bangkok famous for not delicious cuisine or cocktails, and an amazing atmosphere. Few know about it, but lovers of hippie and punk culture will probably like it here. The bar hosts concerts of live music, including unusual ones. Backpackers are often here - people who travel the world for minimal money. Trace-parties are held on Saturdays.
The bar is not easy to get to. You can tell the taxi driver that you need to go to Pincao, on the Jaran Sanit Won highway, to the fortieth intersection (Soi Si Sip). Look for the intersection numbers on the posts along the highway. It is cheaper to get by bus - at 556 from the airport to the Pincao area (the first stop after the bridge), where you should change to bus number 203 and go one more stop.
Tigris monastery
Previously, the Tiger Monastery was a popular attraction - a whole family of tigers lived here quietly. But recently the monastery was accused of exploiting animals, all the tigers were confiscated, and the monastery itself was closed for visiting, so now it is impossible to enter its territory, and there is no need.
Panyi Island
This small island with vertical cliffs is quite popular with tourists - there are many shops, restaurants and even bungalows to stay in. The main local attraction is the fishing villages with houses on stilts, where Muslim Thais live. The locals are friendly, happy to tell tourists about their lives.
Get here on motor boat c, but more often people take tours in hotels.
Tunnel Temple Wat Umong
An old, beautiful and unusual temple. It is called a cave, but it is located rather in tunnels - not in the thickness of the rock, but in built brick passages. Tourists note that the place is similar to the Migulinsky cave monastery in the Rostov region.
Wat Umong was built five centuries ago. There are few tunnels, everyone can look around in five minutes, but it is better to walk slowly. Many passages have been destroyed. A stupa is installed on the second tier, there are rarely people there, which will appeal to lovers of solitude. There is an art gallery, it is worth going to the pond with roses and benches, to admire the turtles.
Ayutaya
This is the ancient capital of Siam, divided into two parts - the historical one with fortresses and temples and the new one with restaurants and hotels. The place is not very popular with tourists, but beautiful. All the most interesting can be seen in one day, especially as part of a tourist group. But it is better to stay for a couple of days and walk the streets.
Ayutaya is included in the UNESCO list. It is famous for its temples, statues of decapitated Buddhas and the residence of the king with figures of roosters.
You can get there from Bangkok in about an hour.
Bangkok Hilton Prison (Bangkwang)
Bangkwang Prison became famous after the release of the Australian TV series "Bangkok Hilton". Prisoners sentenced to a long term or to death are kept here. Especially sophisticated tourists try to get inside - it's interesting, but not easy.
First, you need to get to the prison. By taxi, it's easy - just say to the taxi driver "Bangkwang" or "kook" - this is a prison in Thai. You can take a boat to the pier number 30. It is better to arrive at 7.50 in order to be in time by 9, when the visits are just beginning.
The only way to get here is to try visiting a compatriot. The names of Russian prisoners can be found on various forums dedicated to this prison. You need to find out the name, section number and schedule of its work. After that, if you are determined to embark on this adventure, you can go to visit. The prisoners will only be grateful to you - they are always glad to have visitors.
To visit, you need to fill out a lot of paperwork, have a photocopy of your passport and know the names and sections of the prisoners. Remember that visitors are carefully screened - transmissions are prohibited, and even a coin left in your pocket sometimes causes a refusal from the security.
Temple of Truth
This temple in Thailand is made entirely of wood and is the tallest structure ever made from precious woods. Several oriental religions are collected under the roof of the temple in four different halls.
It is located in Pattaya, on Cape Rachwate - it is only 7 kilometers from the city, you can walk or take a bike or tuk-tuk. The place is quite unpopular, but beautiful, especially if you like wood products. A visit costs 500 baht - not cheap, but monks need money for repairs, the building wears out quickly. For this money they will arrange a full one for you.
Sala Keoku
Buddha Park near the town of Nong Khai. The second park by the architect Bunlya Sulialat with sculptures unusual for traditional Buddhism. He's described as very surreal, but not insane. The entrance costs only 20 baht.
There are many sculptures of Buddhas and other characters of local mythology on the territory. It is sometimes difficult for a tourist to understand what a composition means, so it will be useful to book an excursion.
Another entertainment is feeding carp and catfish. You can even pet the fish from the shore.
Phra Nang Beach
This beach is no longer considered a very unusual place - tourists are often taken here on excursions. Phra Nang is part of the Railay Peninsula near the city of Krabi. It is considered one of the most luxurious beaches in Thailand - tourists are attracted by white sand, turquoise water, sheer cliffs and a beautiful view of the islands.
It is especially crowded on the shore in the morning, but from 11 to 13 there are fewer tourists. You can get there by boat from Ao Nang, Gonsai or Railay West.
Not only nature is beautiful - there is a sanctuary in a cave on the beach. The tourist infrastructure is developed - there are cafes, restaurants and even hotels.
Mount Khao Chi Chan
Not far from Pattaya, there is a unique attraction - an image of Buddha, carved on a rock using laser beams and lined with gold plates. Its height is 130 meters, and its width is 70 meters. In the park around the rock you can relax and unwind - there is a gazebo for meditation.

Entertainment in Thailand has long been put on stream for tourists. Everything that happens in the country, from cooking to concerts, is a real exotic for foreigners. The agency's tour quickly figured it out: everything that can be shown in the country for money has long been shown. Nevertheless, here you will find entertainment to your liking anyway: noisy night life Pattaya, local food tasting, shopping, diving, spa, swimming in the sea, numerous excursions, trips to the islands ...
The list can be continued for a long time, it is almost impossible to get bored during the rest. In this article we will tell you what entertainment in Thailand, for what, besides the warmth of the sea, it is worth coming here.
Night life
Pattaya city is famous for the noisy entertainment in Thailand. It is the clubbing capital of the country with a permanent Walking street with an endless array of open-air clubs and bars.
Beaches and sea in Thailand
Passive rest is also rest. The sea water is warm, like fresh milk, the sand on the beaches is white, a real "Bounty". Local beaches are not as clean and organized as in European resorts. But they have a certain Asian charm.
Almost everything sold in local shops is made in Thailand, so prices are very low. Markets occupy special place in the culture of consumption of the country: there are many of them, there are even nightlife. Everything is sold there: clothes, food, shoes, flowers and pets. The most interesting markets are where Thais go, not tourists. They sell incredible things and prices are lower.
Thailand is an amazing country with many places worth visiting. From the mountain peaks of Chiang Mai to the deserted beaches of Phuket. If you don't love organized trips, you can go to any part of the country on your own: the transport system is well developed.
Massage and SPA
Massage parlors are found at every turn. Thai massage is peculiar, it differs from the traditional one in that the masseur works not with his hands, but with his whole body, acting on reflexogenic points. If you find your masseur, the effect will be wonderful: it seems as if you have been sculpted anew, your well-being improves significantly.
Garra rufa massage is more of a tourist attraction, where small fish eat the aging layers of the skin. But it takes tremendous patience to wait until the end of the session. Very ticklish.
For vacationers in Thailand with children, there is always a lot of interesting and informative things not only for adults, but also for children.
Thailand is an amazing country... Thailand is not like other countries. Do you want to get new, completely unlikely impressions for yourself and your child? Then feel free to come to Thailand! Holidays with children in Thailand are a lot of different discoveries and positive emotions... Here, of course, you will see a gentle and warm sea, landscapes of extraordinary beauty, feel the unique aromas flowering trees and colors and exotic plants, a wide variety of outlandish animals and fish, and much more. Thailand boasts a favorable warm climate throughout most of the year, which, of course, is one of the main points that tourists who travel with children pay attention to.
Thailand has many excellent resorts, among which Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Hua Hin are the most suitable for families. These resorts have a lot of hotels offering holidays for family tourists, and they, of course, have a well-developed tourist infrastructure. Many hotels provide services for a comfortable stay for family tourists, which means that such hotels offer cribs, menus for children, children's pools and playgrounds, and even water slides.
Of course, children entertain themselves very well, for example, with games about Anime http://mult-games.ru, but you can add joyful moments to them by visiting various educational and exciting excursions.
Water parks in Thailand
in Pattaya - two water parks on the territory of the hotels "Pattaya Park" and "Centara Grand Mirage", in Thanks to construction - the water park "Ramayana Water Park";
in Hua Hin - Black Mountain Water Park;
in Phuket - Splash Jungle water park and small water parks on the territory of the Centara Grand West Sands Resort Villas Phuket and in the Laguna Phuket complex;
Entertainment in Thailand for children
Zoos in Thailand
A visit to the zoo in Thailand pleases everyone - it remains to be seen who likes to feed the giraffe better - adults or children. This entertainment in Thailand is so popular that almost everywhere - in Bangkok, Phuket, and Koh Samui, there are zoos or at least mini zoos. Among such a number of zoos in Thailand are:
- two of the best "classic" zoos.
One in Chiang Mai - Chiangmai Zoo;
and, the second zoo in Pattaya, more precisely not far from Pattaya - Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi province;
- and, two zoos, which, in a strict sense, can be called rather not zoos, but wonderful amusement parks in Thailand, focused on holding various shows.
One in Chiang Mai - Chiang Mai Night Safari;
and the second in Bangkok is Safari World.
Chiang Mai Zoo has pandas - animals that can only be seen in a few zoos in the world; and, the largest collection of tigers in Thailand "Tiger World" - 60 different tigers from around the world, including 14 rare white tigers.
Chiang Mai Night Safari has a magnificent night zoo and is famous for its colorful shows, including elephant show, cabaret show, dance show; and, the main show - the musical fountain show, the largest in Southeast Asia, consisting of more than 1500 fountains with lighting and special effects.
Zoos in Chiang Mai can be visited if you are already in this city or if you are interested in light and music performances.
Oceanarium in Thailand
Thailand has two aquariums - one in Chiang Mai, the second in Bangkok and several aquariums, the most famous are on Koh Samui and Phuket.
Chiang Mai Oceanarium Marine Tunnel
Aquarium in Chiang Mai - "Chiang Mai Zoo Aquarium" is considered the largest in Thailand. You need to go here if you decide to visit the zoo in Chiang Mai, since the aquarium is located here. It is better to examine it while feeding the fish: in the morning at 10:30 in the freshwater tunnel and at 11:00 in the sea tunnel or, in the afternoon - at 15:00 and 15:30.
The Bangkok Aquarium is usually liked by tourists more, but, in general, the simultaneous visit to the Zoo and the Aquarium in Chiang Mai leaves a very pleasant impression.
Aquarium in Bangkok - "Siam Ocean World" is the most impressive. Here you can not only walk through the underwater tunnels, but also take a ride on a boat with a glass bottom and watch a 5D film. It is most interesting to visit the aquarium in Bangkok from 12:00 to 14:00 or from 15:00 to 17:00, when you can see not only how fish and sharks are fed, but also penguins.
Phuket Aquarium - very small, probably seen better times often disappoints its visitors. You can go here, if only other entertainments have already been exhausted, there is nothing more to do, and the children really want to “look at the fish”.
Samui Aquarium is more interesting than Phuket, but also leaves a lot to be desired. A visit to the aquarium is usually offered in combination with a fur seal show, a bird show and a tiger show - many tourists consider the price to be too high, and the animals are not very good, but the children usually like the show.
If you are also interested in the life of the underwater world, and you want not only to entertain the children, but also to enjoy visiting the aquarium in Thailand, then it is best to do this in Bangkok, since Siam Ocean World is the best according to tourists' reviews. Although you can visit and. Underwater World Pattaya - located in South Pattaya on Sukhumvit road near Tesco Lotus supermarket. The Oceanarium is relatively small compared to the Bangkok Oceanarium.
Less well-known aquariums - in Songkhla, Nongkai, Si Saket, Royet and Ko Si Chang, may not be worse than in Phuket or Samui, but, due to the remoteness from the main resorts, they are rarely visited by tourists.
You can visit the Pink Dolphin Show not far from Pattaya.
Entertainment in Thailand are not limited to spending time on the beach and swimming in the sea. In addition to sea activities in Thailand, I offer tourists numerous excursions for body and soul. Therefore, in order to save your time, I have compiled the TOP 10 best entertainment in Thailand, which are worth the attention of tourists vacationing in Thailand. You just have to choose where you go.
Elephant Village (Pattaya Elephant Village)
An interesting entertainment in Thailand for many tourists is a visit to the elephant village in Pattaya.
The elephant village is located in the central part of Pattaya on Phonpraphanimit Road.
The conventional name "village of elephants" means that all attention in the village is focused on the daily life of elephants, their training and their relationship with people. The Thais have made a kind of business out of the life of elephants and have not lost, there are really a lot of people who want to see and join this action.
Tourists are offered to watch the elephant show, which includes: a game of football, an elephant parade, the skills that elephants are endowed with for working in the jungle, catching wild elephants in the jungle and riding elephants.
Be sure to visit the village of elephants, this is an excellent entertainment that gives a lot of impressions and positive emotions.
Alcazar Cabaret Show
One of the most unusual and memorable entertainment in Thailand is attending a show featuring transvestite girls. One of the most spectacular shows is offered by the Alcazar Show, which is housed in a modern glass building in resort town Pattaya.
The program of the show is based on the demonstration of the non-standard capabilities of Thai transvestite women who use their genitals for this. The whole show is accompanied by music, lighting effects, beautiful decorations and bright expensive costumes of the stars' drag queen.
The performance of the "Alcazar Show" itself is divided into short-term shows, programs broadcasting different kinds mood: funny and funny or serious and dramatic. The wealth, luxury and splendor of the show that takes place on the stage are invariable. Luxurious costumes of the "Alkazar Show" artists, decorated with a huge amount of sequins, feathers, tinsel and rhinestones, emphasize slim figures and bright stage makeup - perfect facial features and beauty of Thai "women". There are so many beauties that every year, within the framework of the "Alcazar Show", a competition is held, "Miss Alcazar" in which they choose the best of the best and it is quite difficult to choose one single one.
Tiffanys show
No less vivid and memorable performance than the "Alcazar Show" is the "Tiffany Show" in Pattaya.
The Tiffany Show was the first cabaret show in Southeast Asia to feature drag queens. The Tiffany Show, like the first performances, is held in a beautiful old building with columns.
As part of the Tiffany Show, as well as the Alcazar Show, tourists are offered an interesting and exciting performance, accompanied by national and contemporary music, bright lighting effects and incredibly beautiful decorations and costumes of the artists.
Sriracha Tiger Zoo
Thailand's largest tiger zoo is located north of Pattaya, near the city of Sirac. The zoo contains about four hundred Bengal tigers and about ten thousand crocodiles. At the zoo, tourists can watch a tiger show and a crocodile show. Shows amaze with amazing tricks that trainers do with their wards predators. Just like the Singapore Zoo, it is considered a kind, the Sriracha Tiger Zoo is not just a form of entertainment in Thailand, but also its pride, a tourist attraction, so to speak.
In addition, on the territory of the tiger zoo, tourists are offered a show of trained elephants, which surprise with various tricks. Pig lovers have the opportunity to watch the pig race and place their bets. In the tiger zoo, you can see an amazing family in which a pig, a dog, a tiger and a rooster live together.
Zoo visitors have the opportunity to take a picture with a little tiger or crocodile, and feed them if they wish. You can also feed an adult crocodile. And especially courageous tourists are given the opportunity to take pictures with the trainer and scorpions mounted on an arm or leg.
As you understand, tourists are not allowed to get bored in the tiger zoo, various shows and entertainment are offered to their attention: elephants playing basketball, trainers fighting crocodiles. You will be able to feed and play with the cubs and guinea pigs, observe the behavior of camels, kangaroos and deer.
The territory of the tiger zoo is decorated with live orchids and large enclosures with animals living in them. A trip to the tiger zoo will not leave indifferent either adults or children and will become wonderful view entertainment in Thailand.
Calypso Cabaret
While vacationing in Bangkok among all the variety of entertainment, I recommend paying attention to the transvestite show in Bangkok, namely the Calypso Cabaret.
Beautiful girls, dressed in chic outfits, gracefully move to the music and enchant the audience of the show. An unusual, exciting show presented by the Calypso Cabaret dancers is worth seeing with your own eyes, and perhaps even learning from these "girls" the plasticity of movements and the ability to present themselves in public.
One of best options The evening entertainment in Bangkok is undoubtedly attending the Calypso Cabaret Show.
Elephant trekking (Phuket)
One of the most common entertainment in Thailand, in particular in the Phuket resort, is elephant trekking.
The excursion can be made on any convenient day. Tourists are picked up from the hotel and taken to Chalong Beach, where tourists mount the elephants and continue their journey, enjoying the elephant trekking and the beautiful landscapes of the tropical garden.
The excursion includes not only elephant trekking, but also a meal of Thai dishes, as well as participation in the symbolic Thai rite of Loy Krathong. The ceremony consists in putting wicker baskets on the water, as a sign of the expulsion of worries and sorrows from the soul. The elephant trekking tour ends with the tourists being brought to the Siam Safari camp and then transported back to their hotels.
This entertainment in Phuket will appeal to both adults and children. In addition, you can capture the pleasant moments of elephant trekking in Phuket with your camera and video camera. After riding the elephants, tourists are taken to their hotels.
It is worth mentioning one more exotic program - "On elephants for happiness". Elephant trekking through the "Nong Nooch" garden, tasting Thai cuisine and participating in the ancient Thai rite - Loy Krathong.
Krathong are floating baskets made from banana leaves and banana tree decorated with flowers. Thais believe that if you put such a basket into the water, then all the sorrows and hardships will float away with it.
One of the most popular activities in Phuket is elephant trekking and trekking into the mountains and jungle. The tour begins with guides arriving at the hotel for tourists and arranging a transfer to Chalong Beach. Then the excursion goes to the elephant camp, the so-called Siam Safari.
Bars, "Go-go" and discos
Popular entertainment in Thailand among tourists is visiting beer bars, "Go-go" bars and discos.
There are a lot of such entertainment establishments in Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and almost at every step in Pattaya. In such places of entertainment, visitors can drink a lot of beer or any other drink, watch the dancing half-naked girls and spend the rest of the evening or the coming night with one of them.
In every bar there are girls who approach tourists and in the process of casual communication, unobtrusively offer their sex services. Often the dancers of "Go-Go" are transvestites, so professionally reincarnated into beautiful girls that at first glance it is impossible to identify a catch.
The sex industry in Thailand is highly developed. This is what attracts millions of tourists to come to Thailand. The goal is to have fun and fulfill your most secret sexual fantasies.
The range of offered sex services is huge, you just have to choose and enjoy. But don't be surprised if a charming girl at the counter turns out to be a guy on closer acquaintance.
Discos in Thailand are no different from the usual establishments of this kind. They are places where you can traditionally dance, listen to club music, drink and meet new people. Thai discos do not stand out in anything new and unusual, except that they are more accessible and frank among their visitors. Therefore, it will not be difficult for you to get to know the girl and spend the rest of the night with her, having previously discussed the price and time frame.
