Ever considered Thailand for your next vacation? While the journey to Thailand is well-liked among Europeans, most North Americans consider it too long and even too spectacular to go on a regular week or two-week vacation. That’s a pity since Thailand is a superb holiday getaway. Even though it is always easier to visit if you have a month of vacation, you will still get a ton out of your visit if you come for a week or 10 days.

I love traveling to Thailand too. Such warm hospitality ❤️ These are some amazing reasons to travel to Thailand.
Thailand is just near us, same asian continent so most likely we have some same tradition going on but watching Leonardo Caprio’s movie ‘Beach’, I got enticed to see Phuket. This maybe one destination for me and my family soon. I will bookmark this as a guide.
I know of so many people who have been to Thailand and I can’t wait to go there too! I’ve always loved Thai food and though there are many Thai restaurants here, I’m still curious as to how authentic Thai food tastes like. If I had the opportunity, my first day would be touring around Bangkok and trying lots of different Thai street food!
I love travelling to Thailand personally & for sure few times in a year except this year due to the global health pandemic…sigh…After reading this, I miss Thailand even more. cheers, siennylovesdrawing
I’ve always heard of how great Thailand is, but you had me at the food and beaches
This is pity that I have never been in Thailand though I am from Asia. I heard thousands of stories on Thailand. Hopefully one day I will go there and enjoy the beauty of the land.
Love Thai food .Always wanted to travel to Thailand .Have heard a lot about beaches. Thanks for sharing about such a beautiful place.
It seems like Thailand is a great place for almost everything. Great review!!
I am so ready to be done with covid and get back to traveling!
These are some great reasons to visit Thailand. I would like to add their hospitality and the warmth they shower to the visitors. I love Thailand!
I’d never considered visiting Thailand, at least not anytime soon… until now. You paint a very captivating picture. Thanks for this.
YES! We’re actually supposed to travel to Thailand last month but we canceled it due to the pandemic. Hopefully it’s safer to travel next year because we are fascinated by this country and its people. I love the clothes and of course, Thai food!
Thailand is so beautiful, thanks for sharing your story!
Thailand is a wonderful country and there are so many great reasons to visit. For me, I love the food and spa massages. – knycx Journeying
I loved my adventures in Thailand. You are right, it is so easy to travel and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. At first, I was a bit nervous about the language, but everything is easy to navigate and for the most part, people are willing to help. Loved all the food too. I probably gained 100 pounds while I was there.
I only needed one reason really but these 10 have sold it completely. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thailand is on my list of places I’d love to visit, for all of those reasons you shared. I am a beach lover too . The only thing stopping me (besides COVID) is the cost of flying, but I will get there eventually!
I have always wanted to go to Thailand. It has been a dream of mine since I was a preteen. I don’t know why, but it has been stuck in my head to go. So beautiful.
I have been to Thailand twice and I didn’t NEED a list of reasons to go again, but I very much enjoyed it! I miss Thailand so much and would love to go back this Christmas. Hopefully once COVID is over it can regain its tourism. I’ll be going back no matter what. Thank you so much for sharing. The only thing I’m not big on in Thailand is the spiciness of the food. My husband, on the other hand, is obsessed!
