Sea’s Similan and Surin Islands. Splurge and book the live aboard option – sleep and eat (and dive) on a boat for several days. Snorkelers will have plenty of options, as well as excursions designed just for them. < Andaman Coast – A Action! Make like James Bond and head for the islands of Phuket, where “The Man with the Golden Gun” was filmed. Keep the action rolling and continue on to Krabi province, the setting for Leonardo Di Caprio’s film, “The Beach.” < Ohm Sweet Ohm Sw Bliss out at a meditation retreat in one of the country’s many temples. Options include the forest monastery of Suan Mokkh in Surat Thani, or at W Wat Mahathat in Bangkok to learn the secrets of serenity at the feet of Buddhist monks. < Beauty Spa & Thai Massage Throughout the ages, Thailand has perfected the art of the spa. Many hotels have worldclass spas offering a full range of modern treatments, as well as the relaxing magic of a traditional Thai massage. < Tom Yum Kung, Phat TY Thai & Cooking Thai cooking can be habit forming. We know of one W tourist who ordered Tom Yam Kung (a spicy broth laced with lemongrass and fresh shrimp) virtually every night of his trip. Thai cuisine is world famous, and visitors who just can’t get enough may consider enrolling in a Thai cooking class during their stay and wow friends with their new culinary skills upon returning home. < Songkran & Loi Krathong Festival Songkran, or the Thai New Y Year, is held in mid-April. It’s a festive event that is both serious and high-spirited. Thais honor their elders and gently bathe Buddha images, and later engage in dousing each other until everyone and everything is soaking wet. During the Loi Krathong Festival, which takes place on the full moon of the 11th lunar month, Thais set adrift tiny floats containing flowers, incense and a candle as a tribute to the Water Goddess. W < Fore the Good Times T Thailand has over 200 golf courses, with more on the way, many of them designed y by familiar names such as Pete Dye, Robert Trent Jones Jr., and Jack Nicklaus. Golf icon Tiger Woods has even teed off in Thailand during the Honda Classic. Golfers will find excellent courses throughout the country – from the beach resort of Pattaya to cosmopolitan Bangkok. < Travel by Rail Everything looks different from the window of a train. In Thailand, you can ride in style and comfort aboard the legendary Eastern and Oriental Express. The luxurious journey spends seven days in Thailand and then makes tracks through Malaysia and on to the end of the line in Singapore. 12 | Thailand Travel Planner
