The 10 Biggest Thailand Travel Mistakes You Can Easily Avoid

The secured attractions in the Ayutthaya Historical Park include Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Mahathat, Wiharn Phra Mongkhon Bopit and Wat Phra Ram.

What's so interesting about this place is that it displays brilliant examples of Thai art and today, a section of this historical site is under UNESCO protection. Ayutthaya Historical Park displays the ruins of once the largest cities in the world, Ayutthaya. A bike tour is definitely something that has to end up in everyone's Top Travel In Thailand 10 things to do in Bangkok.

Go off the beaten path in Bangkok and see banana plantations and farms. Bike tours take you to places you would not get on your own. Read here the article about the bike/boat combo tour I did with Co van Kessel bike tours and watch the GoPro video of the adventure.

Want to see a different side of Bangkok then try a bike tour. Keep your eyes open for incredibly huge lizards that grow over 2 meters long. Get yourself a seat in a boat tour through the khlongs of Thonburi and see how people still live in stilted houses on the water.

The network of khlongs (canals) is why Bangkok sometimes is referred to as Venice of the East. Make it over to Thonburi, an area that has not lost much of its charm from the old days. That is just a normal ferry and you will not see anything.

Forget a trip over the crowded Chao Praya River. It's the best place to have a Robinson Crusoe-esque trip in Thailand. You can also take a boat ride through the mangroves to explore a cave.

Spend a few days here cycling, hiking, and spotting wildlife. It happens every year from April 13-15, with the biggest celebrations taking place in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. While the first two days are about visiting family, going to temples, and making merit, the third day is a massive water fight and a raging party.

Along the way, you can stop off in a national park and scenic small towns for hiking, hot springs, caves, and so much more. It's said that there are 1,864 curves in the road that takes you from Chiang Mai through a few other towns and back, but you'll probably lose track trying to count them. If it's an adventure that you seek, head to the north and rent some wheels to tackle this famed loop.

We suggest trying as many local fruits as possible at the market, with mangosteens and rambutan being a must. Rent a boat and tour the market, which is full of amazing local food and drink, don't be shy! You'll want to get there early to avoid the large crowds, and be sure to bring a hat and sunscreen with a high SPF.

About 100km southwest of Bangkok sits the The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, which has become a must see for any visitor to Thailand. There are great reserves in both Phuket and Chang Mai - we recommend Kok Chang in Phuket.
