9. History
• There is evidence of continuous human habitation in present-day Thailand from 20,000 years
ago to the present day. The earliest evidence of rice growing is dated at 2,000 BCE.
• The culture of Thailand has evolved greatly over time, from its relative isolation during
the Sukhothai era, to its more contemporary Ayutthaya era, which absorbed influences
from all over Asia. Indian, Chinese, Burmese, Khmer and other Southeast Asian influences are
still evident in traditional Thai culture.
• From about the 10th to the 14th centuries, Thailand saw a period of Khmer domination over a
large portion of what is now Central Thailand, as well as a southward expansion of Thai tribes.
Thai city states gradually became independent as the Khmer Empire weakened.

10. Legends
Thailand is a country
steeped in myth and
legend, with a storied
history of ancient
kingdoms, terrifying
ghosts and national icons.
WSB Academy

11. Naresuan’s Elephant
Battle
• Back when Thailand was known as
the Kingdom of Ayutthaya,
King Naresuan’s reign was marked by one of the
most legendary battles in Thai history. Atop his el
ephant, the king called out to the
crown prince of Burma Mingya Swa to face him in
single combat.
He accepted and Naresuan killed his opponent, wi
nning the battle that secured Thailand’s later victo
ry in the
war. Whilst today elephant riding is hugely frowne
d upon, it’s one of the
most enduring stories from this era of
the country’s history – and
one that they’re fiercely proud of.
WSB Academy

12. The Naga
• You might notice statues at Thai temples
that look similar to a snake or dragon, but in
fact they are neither; they are Naga. Semi-
divine beings that feature in both Buddhism
and Hinduism, Naga are believed by locals
to live in the Mekong river. More
interestingly, they’re thought to be the cause
of the Naga fireball phenomenon, which
sees fireballs rise from the supposedly-
inhabited Mekong river high into the air. Not
to worry, though; Naga are guardian-type
figures who keep away bad spirits, so they’re
worth having around — just be careful if
you’re going for a swim in the Mekong.

16. Railay Beach
Railay delivers on
promises of white sand,
turquoise-blue water,
and the feeling that
you've found a slice of
paradise even before
your feet touch the
sand.
hile the beach might be
the main reason to visit
the island, Railay is also
a rock-climbing hot
spot, with karst peaks
drawing adventurers
both experienced and
novice, ready to take on
the towering limestone
cliffs.
WSB Academy

17. Koh Phi Phi
• The Phi Phi Islands are one of
Thailand's most popular
resort areas for a reason–the
clear blue waters, the soft
sand, the breathtaking views
that go on forever.
WSB Academy

18. The Grand
Palace,
Bangkok
• Even if your plans for
Thailand mainly involve
frolicking on a beach and
eating as much Massaman
curry and pad Thai as
humanly possible, you'll
probably spend at least a day
or two in Bangkok. There are
plenty of things to see and
do in the capital, but the
Grand Palace should
definitely be at the top of
your list.
WSB Academy

19. Sunday Walking
Street, Chiang Mai
• Every Thailand visitor looks forward to
cheap and delicious food–and that's
exactly what they can find in abundance
at Chiang Mai's Sunday Night Walking
Street. Vendors sell all kinds of treats
here: from the popular pad Thai and
chicken satay to samosas, fried bananas,
sweet roti, and fresh fruit shakes–often for
less than $2 a piece.
WSB Academy

20. Wild Elephants at
Khao Yai National
Park
• Elephants are revered in Thailand, and
statues and paintings of them can be
seen everywhere you go, including the
royal palaces and many temples. For the
ultimate experience, however, nothing
beats the chance to see elephants in their
natural environment–and Khao Yai
National Park provides a great
opportunity to do just that.
WSB Academy

21. Historic City of
Ayutthaya
• Ayutthaya was once the most
important city in Thailand,
and the old palaces and
temples stand as a testament
to this. Over a hundred
wats, chedis (Thai-style
stupas), prangs, and
thousands of Buddha statues
are spread around the park.
WSB Academy

22. Beaches of Koh
Samui
• Each beach on Koh
Samui offers
something different:
some are ideal for
peaceful isolation;
others are filled with
activities, water sports,
and big crowds.
WSB Academy

23. Floating
Markets
• Thailand's floating markets
offer a unique way to do
some shopping and eating
while supporting local
vendors and getting a closer
look into a traditional way of
life.
WSB Academy

24. Waterfalls at
Erawan
National Park
• Erawan National Park
has much to offer to
visitors, including a
number of caves; paths
that cut through thick
deciduous forests; and
fauna that includes wild
elephants, gibbons, and
great hornbills. But it's
the waterfalls here –
and especially the
seven-tiered Erawan
Falls – that attract the
bulk of the visitors.
WSB Academy

25. Khao Sok
National Park
• Khao Sok National Park is a
unique mix of very diverse
ecosystems. Home to rain
forest that's older than the
Amazon, the park also
contains a limestone

kilometers of trails, and even
a river you can explore on
canoes or bamboo rafts.
