In the heart of the ruins of Ayutthaya Located about 80 km north of Bangkok, Ayutthaya is the former capital of Siam. Founded in 1350, it thrived thanks to its trading port activities until 1767, when it was razed by the Burmese. Today, the ruins of the ancient city are a major archaeological site in Thailand with a large number of temples, monasteries, and various statues. A visit not to be missed during your trip to Thailand! Chiang Mai and its sacred temples Chiang Mai is the sixth most important city in Thailand, but it is particularly known for housing around 300 sacred temples. Beyond their religious aspect and Buddhism, these beautiful buildings also have significant historical value as they date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Reenact scenes from "The Beach" on the island of Koh Phi Phi Koh Phi Phi is undeniably one of Thailand’s paradise islands. It is so beautiful that it was chosen as the filming location for the now iconic Hollywood movie "The Beach," starring Leonardo DiCaprio in one of the main roles. Feel free to reenact scenes from the film on this magnificent sandy beach! And for those on their honeymoon, this romantic beach is a must-visit stop.

A study has shown that the cost of living is four to five times cheaper in Thailand than in mainland France. What it doesn't say is that because everything is cheaper, people tend to consume more. Nevertheless, one can truly enjoy oneself, starting with the food, which is very affordable and delicious, prepared in the streets or in small neighborhood eateries. Fresh, varied, and generous, it is a must-try, without moderation. Transportation is relatively inexpensive, especially if you travel using public transport. Trains are generally punctual and comfortable. Bus journeys connecting the main regional cities are adequate, fast, and numerous. Many private companies provide minibus shuttles between different tourist areas, especially from Bangkok, almost "door to door." For accommodation, you can still find little gems for a few hundred bahts, even in Bangkok! If you prefer luxury hotels, they are very inexpensive compared to those in the West for superior services!

Whether you are an enthusiast or a passionate diver, you will be amazed by the beauty of Thailand's underwater landscapes and the variety of tropical species, including different kinds of sharks, rays, and sea turtles. The underwater life is remarkable for its diversity and its shimmering colors. The country is one of the preferred diving destinations thanks to its warm waters (28°C in high season) with good visibility outside the monsoon. The often very rugged coastal relief, with options for drop-offs, caves, coral reefs dotted with wrecks, offers multiple exploration sites. Dive centers can be found almost everywhere along the coasts of the Andaman Sea or the Gulf of Thailand. However, the most interesting areas are Ranong (outside monsoon) with proximity to the Surin and Mergui archipelagos, Phuket and the Similan Islands, Koh Lanta, Koh Tao and the north of Koh Pha Ngan, as well as the islets south of Koh Chang. Koh Samui is more of a learning and technical upgrading zone. During rainy periods, suspended particles can cloud the clarity of coastal waters; it is therefore preferable to go to isolated islets or shoals. Check the websites of different dive clubs and contact the specialists before setting the dates for a diving-dedicated trip. Stay vigilant and avoid less reputable clubs!
