It is truth that one can find a vast range of things to do in Thailand.

Ones’ time can be shared  between visits to buddhist temples, elephant rides, relaxing massages, walks in the tropical forests and discovering and tasting the local specialities.  Most important, however, is to relax  and  enjoy the smiling faces and  warm hospitality of the locals.
