Thailand Thailand looks a lot like Peter Pan's "Neverland", an endless playground almost unreal in its beauty. Whether you’re sporting North Face or toting Louis Vuitton, nearly everyone can live like a king here. With fantastic outdoor adventures and gorgeous temples, you won't easily get bored here. A trip to Bangkok, Thailand's bustling capital city is a must, but don’t plan to stay too long. There is certainly a lot to see, but the coastal beaches and islands are where you’ll find some real Thai treats. If your MO is more kick back than Thai kickboxing, book a beach bungalow right on the white sand, get a massage and you'll be as relaxed as the Reclining Buddha in no time. Backpackers will love the country's low prices and nightlife as spicy as its cuisine, especially the full moon beach parties. Head to Ko Pha Ngan or Haad Rin during any full moon and you’ll be in for one of the wildest parties of your life. Sleeping in jungle tree houses? Cruising around on a bamboo raft? Watching an elephant polo tournament? Thailand may just have everything imaginable. Highlights: Howl at the moon with revelers from all over the world at the monthly Full moon parties at Ko Pha Ngan or Haad Rin. Get lost in the bustle of Bangkok, Thailand’s hectic capital. Find a beach and lounge – have a drink, a massage, and feel pampered, even with the tightest budget. Head to backpacker hotspot, Ko Phi Phi where The Beach was filmed.
