Khao Sok National Park
Probably the best national park in Thailand, Khao Sok offers caves, jungles, rivers
and gorgeous limestone scenery. You can explore the park by using its hiking trail, or
raft, canoe or kayak through Sok river. If you're lucky you may spot an elusive gibbon
or two.
The Thai Islands
Thailand has an absolute ton of beautiful tropical islands. For the adventurous, it is
possible to find small islands all over Southeast Asia that are pretty much
uninhabited. Some islands are very crowded and others only have just a few
bungalows on them; some of the best (well, best known!) are Koh Samet, Koh
Tarutao, Koh Chang, Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Koh Samui, Joh Lanta and the Similan
Islands. To discover something a little bit different, head on over to Koh Lipe.

Kanchanaburi
In 1942 Kanchanaburi was under Japanese control and it was here that Asian forced
labourers and Allied POWs were made to build the infamous 'Bridge on the River
Kwai' as part of the 'Death Railway'. Although a sobering experience the bridge is
surrounded by some gorgeous waterfalls that are well worth a visit once you have
been to the 'Jeath War Museum'.
