Adventure Holidays In Thailand

Abundant with rainforests, coral reefs and sandy beaches, Thailand is also a country of freshwater swamp forests, forested crags, mangroves and pine forests. The country is divided into four main regions: the lush, inner plains of the Chao Phraya River , the lesser region of the high northeast plateau, the fruitful basin and peaks of Northern Thailand , and the woody southern peninsula. Standing at just 2596m, Doi Inthanon is Thailand ’s highest peak.

Crystal clear waters, spectacular reefs and rock formations plus a colourful selection of marine life make water sports a must, particularly in Phuket, which is known as the ' Pearl of the South' among scuba divers.
