So, do some research and visit smaller, lesser-known beaches for a more tranquil day of fun in the sun. Our faves include Laem Yai Beach (Koh Samui), Sairee Beach (Koh Tao), Klong Dao Beach (Koh Lanta) and Ao Leuk Beach (Koh Tao).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visit national parks: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-32f9d224 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2024-02-19-at-15.51.30.png ,https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2024-02-19-at-15.51.30.png 780w, https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2024-02-19-at-15.51.30.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2024-02-19-at-15.51.30.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-83166\" width=\"822\" height=\"550\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5f04b4550ac396594c4e7bc60b49614b\">If you&#8217;re interested in nature, or just get beached out after your fill of hours on the sand, explore one of the many stunning national parks. We suggest Kaeng Krachan National Park&nbsp;in Hua Hin, where you can spot various forms of wildlife. We also love <a href=\"https:\/\/fanclubthailand.co.uk\/khao-sok-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khao Sok National Park<\/a> near Khao Lak, famous for its untouched rainforest, and being home to exotic primates like macaques and gibbons. Or, if you&#8217;re chasing waterfalls, explore Khao Yai National Park in Pak Chong, the country&#8217;s oldest national park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat your heart out:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94f900a13e4d3bbe4ce15a0cebe7b81f\">Of course, Thai food is world-renowned and where better to indulge than at the source? With fresh seafood, loads of noodles with distinct soy and peanut flavours, and steamy veg soups the order of the day, foodies will be spoilt for choice. Hit up the local street vendors and food markets for an authentic experience, or get wined and dined at top-tier restaurants in big cities like Bangkok. We love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kaveerestaurant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kavee<\/a> and Gaggan Anand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-fdba8790\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Where to Stay<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-887ad6f3cb80e556885abdb74dd19cad\">We all know it&#8217;s where you lay your head that makes the stay.
