The Travel Bug Why Is Thailand Such a Popular Destination

If you were to take all the tropical destinations in the world and put them side by side, you’d probably notice that one of the most beloved and highly-visited sites of all is Thailand.

Also known as the “Land of Smiles”, the Southeast Asian country has maintained its status as a place you should visit before you die. With millions of tourists visiting each year (and the total annual number growing over time), Thailand is clearly loved by travelers all over the world. 

By now, you’ve probably looked into the idea of traveling to the country and experiencing its acclaimed wonder once restrictions let up. Before you book your tickets and get in touch with Riverhouse Phuket for your accommodation arrangements, you may have one particular question in mind: why is Thailand so popular among travelers?

Reasons to Visit Thailand

Since tourism in the country boomed many decades ago, Thailand has been mainly known for three things:

1. Its abundance of tourist spots;
2. Its ancient temples, and;
3. Its tropical climate. 

However, these things alone don’t do justice to how wonderful Thailand is as a tropical destination. To give you a better idea of why you should pay our wonderful country a visit as soon as you can, here are some key points to consider: 

The Beaches

Of course—how can we talk about what makes Thailand so special without talking about its world-famous beaches?

Arguably considered Thailand’s most impressive natural feature by far, its beaches span across its 1,500-mile well-maintained, awe-inspiring coastline that bestows beachgoers limitless options to choose from. Regardless of where you are in the country, there will always be a beach no more than an hour and a half car ride away!

In terms of the cream of the crop, the country’s best spots can be found in Phuket and Koh Samui, thanks to the constant efforts of local governments to preserve its white-sand areas. Staying at Riverhouse Phuket will have you surrounded by world-famous destinations like the Kata, Karon, and Bang Tao beaches! 

The Food

If you’ve never had Thai food in your life (or simply don’t have it enough), then you’re definitely missing out—especially if you haven’t actually tried any of the dishes in Thailand.

Best known for its diverse and unique flavors, Thai cuisine caters to all kinds of foodies, regardless of how picky or restricted one may be in terms of what they eat. The reason the country’s dishes are so world-famous lies in the fact that they use the most fragrant, delicious, and unique ingredients alongside time-honed techniques! 

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the dishes that you need to try once you pay The Land of Smiles a visit: 

• Tom Yum Goong
• Pad Thai
• Som Tam
• Panang
• Guay Teow
