Things to do in Thailand range from diving into Bangkok's busy streets and markets to exploring the country's sun-kissed coastlines.

The eastern and western coasts of the country feature many white beaches, allowing visitors to choose from the secluded sands of Koh Tao to the more populated spots of Ko Lanta or Koh Pha Ngan.
Thailand is best known for its Sacred & Religious Sites, Beaches, and Gift & Specialty Shops.
Top 15 things to do in Thailand

Visit Wat Pho, one of the six main Buddhist temples in Thailand. Admire the 46 m (151 ft) long Buddha statue and its memorable pose, and explore the wide range of temple buildings displaying rich and intricate religious designs and a history dating back to the 16th century. Vital to the spiritual and architectural heritage of the city and the country at large, the site houses the largest collection of Buddha depictions in Thailand.

6. Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok

Admire the grand and evocative design of Temple Of Dawn (Wat Arun), a towering Buddhist temple located in the heart of Bangkok. Established in the 1600s--but gaining its distinctive porcelain-clad prangs (spires) during the reign of King Rama II in the early 19th century--the temple represents an apex of religious architecture and is one of the best maintained of all buildings commissioned by the Thai monarchy. Open to the public as a place of worship and tourism, the site contains prized artifacts relating to the religious and royal history of Thailand.
