What are the niche, less crowded, and fun places in Thailand?

When traveling to Thailand, most people choose places such as Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, or Koh Samui. In fact, compared with Thailand's original local customs, these tourist attractions have much less of them, and more of them are tourism products and experience projects provided for tourists. There are many places in Thailand with very good tourism resources and distinctive local characteristics, but not many Chinese people go there. For example, Hua Hin, which is very close to Bangkok, is a place that European and American foreigners prefer to go.

This time we went to some destinations around Bangkok and felt the authentic taste of Thailand. Depart from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi, experience the famous Bridge on the River Kwai, and then go to Amphawa, Hua Hin, Chumphon and other places. Along the way there are places that are relatively unfamiliar to Chinese people, but are very characteristic of Thailand.

Thailand is a Buddhist country. The Tiger Cave Temple in Kanchanaburi Province is known as one of the top ten most beautiful temples in Thailand and is magnificent

Kanchanaburi Province

I didn’t know much about Kanchanaburi before, but there is a scenic spot here that I believe many people know, which is the famous Bridge on the River Kwai and the Death Railway.

The Oscar-winning Hollywood movie "Bridge on the River Kwai" describes the story that happened here. During World War II, in order to continue their invasion of Myanmar, the Japanese forced prisoners of war from Britain, China and other countries, as well as forced laborers from Thailand, Myanmar and other places, to build trains and railways from Bangkok to Myanmar Sunshine. Due to the extremely hot weather and the cruel treatment of the Japanese, As a result, more than 100,000 laborers and 16,000 prisoners of war died of exhaustion and illness beside the railway. This is also the railway with the highest mortality rate in the world, so it is called the "Death Railway". One section is at the Bridge on the River Kwai. In the movie, it tells the story of British prisoners of war who overcame all odds to build a bridge for the sake of honor, but later blew up the bridge due to combat needs. The British prisoners of war were very reluctant to blow up their masterpiece. After several struggles, they finally blew up the bridge, and everyone involved also A dead story.

Now go to Kanchanaburi to experience the Highway of Death and go sightseeing on the bridge. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. It is said that the bodies of 38 people were buried under each sleeper, which is also very sad. We went with the China Travel Service Headquarters. It was the Thai Water Splashing Festival, also known as Thailand's "Spring Festival", and the streets were full of excitement. China Travel Service celebrated its 90th anniversary and sent out tour groups with more than 2,200 people from all over the country. Kanchanaburi Province was also greatly shocked. The streets were covered with slogans celebrating the 90th anniversary of China Travel Service. In addition, you can also visit the Tiger Cave Temple in Kanchanaburi Province, which is very cool.

Death Railway

Many foreigners experience the Death Railway

About Thailand’s Songkran Festival, it is a very wild and lively festival , Thai people themselves are so open-minded that the government had to issue an announcement: It is forbidden to wear clothes that are too revealing. I think the Water Splashing Festival is worth experiencing. It’s so interesting and of course too wild. It needs to be experienced in person. It’s impossible not to get wet.

Damnoen Saduak

Go to Damnoen Saduak, mainly to see the floating market. There are many floating markets in Thailand, but Damnoen Saduak is the most famous one. The folk customs here are simple and you can experience the life of the locals. At the floating market, we go in by boat. Along the way there are vendor stalls and merchant boats coming and going. We are often "hooked" by small vendors along the coast to take a look at their products. It doesn't matter if you don't buy them. If you do, you can chop them. price. Since there are so many Chinese tourists, there are signs in Chinese on the small boats that come and go: fruits, pineapple rice, watermelon smoothies, coconut rice, etc. There are many delicious things, and there are even barbecues, and gas is set up on the small boats. Furnace, very interesting.
