What Is Thailand Famous For?

According to the number of 2019 visitor arrivals, Thailand is the 8th most visited country in the world, with 39.8 million visitors annually. This breath taking Southeast Asian paradise is known for its rich culture, Thai massages, Muay Thai, and mouth watering endless cuisine options.

From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the magnificent rock pillars of Railey Beach, Thailand allures tourists, digital nomads, and expats alike, including me. I have journeyed to this beautiful country probably 10+ times and even embarked on a more significant two-month stay in Chiang Mai, otherwise known as Asia’s Digital Nomad Capital.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, this beautiful country really does have it all. And on top of everything, it is still a cheap getaway.

Get ready to fall in love with the spicy flavors of Thai food, the golden temples and ancient ruins, and the endless opportunities for outdoor fun.
