The Grandeur That is Thailand: Five Exotic Maritime Scenic Spots

Without doubt, Thailand is perhaps leading other Asian countries in tourist arrivals owing to its being endowed with paradise-like sceneries and beaches perfect for a well-deserved vacation of the working class and retirees from around the world. Here is some of Thailand’s exotic and grand maritime spots worth visiting for.



Pang-nga - a historic maritime site in Thailand, it is composed of around 120 islands standing in various exotic shapes attributed to chaotic geological events some millions of years ago. Fascinating and wonderful, a once in lifetime vacation to these imposing islands dotting the local ocean is exactly perfect to intellectual tourists like university professors in geology and earth science taking a break from long bouts with academic


Ko Pha-ngan- made ever grand by limpid waters and serene ambience, it has become one of the tourist destinations in the country. One of the island's primary attractions is the Tan Sadet waterfall that is endowed with the world's largest orchid and many other exotic plants basking in the nerve-sipping freshness of the atmosphere. Splendid! A solitary visit in this oriental island located in the Gulf of Thailand is an experience of a lifetime.



Phi Phi Islands - a group of islands is about 40 km from Phuket. The seven islands comprising it are a grand sight to behold while the crystal waters surrounding them completed a fragment of paradise. Moreover, the beautiful coral formations underwater makes the resort ideal for diving and as divers marvel at the exotic beauty of the underworld, they would also have to wonder at the pre-historic drawings etched on undersea caves. What a fascination to historians and geologists.




Chaweng Beach -located in the east coast of Koh Samui’s is the local families favorite, its almost unblemished white sand extends around 7 km long. And the sight of its blue waters refreshes and braces even if one is hundreds of meters away off-water and exposed in a noon oriental sunlight. Adding to its grandeur is the troubling peace of the shores while being continually whipped by the gentle caravan of serene waves.


Kata Beach -For tourists looking for a very tranquil vacation from the humdrums of urban life, this resort is ideal. The whiteness of the powders of sand is made prominent by bright sunlight while the sea is so calm and transparent that objects underwater are sometimes visible. Snorkelling at a small coral reef located north is another enjoyment during a vacation on this beach resort also located in Phuket.
