Thailand (once known as Siam) is probably one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southeast Asia, known for its terrific shopping opportunities, exotic nightlife and gorgeous beaches. One can find a number of interesting tourist attractions throughout the country, most of them being historical and cultural landmarks, although few venture outside the cosmopolitan capital of Bangkok. Tourists who plan on exploring Thailand can start with Bangkok for its shopping and cultural sights, then move on to Hua Hin to witness the country’s natural bounty, and then finally head over to Phuket where they can spend their days relaxing on some of the best beaches on the planet.
Hua Hin is a beach town located roughly two hundred kilometres from Bangkok. It is renowned for its pristine beaches and picturesque landscapes. There are quite a few attractions here that will interest tourists. One popular attraction is Khao Krailat, which is a famous hill. The reason the hill is special, is due to the Buddhist temple which is located on top of it. The temple bears the same name as the hill and is full of interesting artefacts. Alongside the Khao Krailat is the Khao Takiap which is covered in small shrines and pagodas. 
Other attractions in Hua Hin that tourists should not miss include the Klai Kangwon Palace which is the king’s permanent residence, the Butterfly Garden which is located opposite the palace, the Pa La-U Waterfall near the Kaengkrajan National Park, the Sam Roi Yod Floating Market and the Sea Pine Tree Garden or Suan Son Pradiphat.
Phuket is another beach resort town in Thailand and probably the more well-known of the two. In addition to having spectacular beaches, the island also has a number of interesting attractions such as the Crocodile Farm, the Phuket Aquarium and the Phuket Butterfly Garden and Insect World. Tourists looking for a luxury Phuket beach resort can try Anantara Phuket Resort Thailand. Occupying a stretch of pristine beach, this Phuket resort offers amazing views of the Andaman Sea and the Sirinath National Park. It offers a truly luxurious getaway and lets you enjoy an unforgettable holiday by the sea.
