Re: help
its depend on what kind of itinerary you have if you're going in Thailand.
during the the time when me and my husband decided to visit Thailand
we really want to see the rich culture of the Thais so
we visited the World Biggest Golden Buddha Image which is located
at Wat Traimit, Bangkok. The Golden Buddha stand 3.04 meters tall and weight around
5.5 tonnes, with the gold price value recorded by the Guinness World Records as 28.5
million Britain Pounds in 1990.
The discovery of the Golden Buddha in 1950s was an accident. Before discovery, the buddha
was covered in plaster, to hide the valuable from enemies and thieves stayed at very old Choti-naram
Temple as principal buddha image in the main building, nobody relised than it had golden image inside
the plaster. When the buddha image was moved to Wat Traimit, the cover was accidently clacked, showing
the golden image inside.

So pretty much everyone who visits Thailand will fly into Bangkok, and Bangkok is a great place to start your Thailand itinerary. You have everything from the weekend markets, Buddha’s may it be golden, lying or reclining, stunning temples, floating markets, the serenity of Lumpini park, and the hub of the backpacker world Koh San Road which is definitely worth a visit.
Once you have had you fill of Bangkok, in 3 days you should of been able to seen plenty, head 2 hours west to Kancahnuburi to stay on a floating hut by the river Kwai. You can ride the death railway, swim in the amazing Erawan Falls or go to the tiger temple and have your pic taken surrounded by tigers! Next catch a bus to Ayutthaya for the night to see the old capital of Thailand and the beautiful ancient temples. From hear you can catch a sleeper train up to Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is known for its amazing Thai Cooking course which you can be followed by a 3 day trek into the jungles where you can stay with a hill tribe, bamboo raft down lazy rivers and ride on the back of an elephant!
Finish you trip off on the tropical islands to the south. An internal flight from Chiang Mai to Koh Samui will put you right where you want to be to finish off an unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
Have fun!!

Re: help
Chiang Mai, known in Thailand as the Rose of the North, is the economic, communications, cultural and tourism heart of Northern Thailand. In spite of that, it is still a peaceful, calm little town with much heritage value. The history of the land is traced back to the hill-tribes and the area still known for its wood-carving and traditional handicrafts, including the famous Thai umbrella-painters.
