STROLLING INTO HISTORY
One of the best ways to appreciate the grandeur and significance of Thailand’s history is to absorb the atmosphere of the ruins and monuments of past Thai civilizations. After an active programmed among the natural beauty of Thailand, you might be ready for a change of mood and a scene. Nothing could be more satisfying than a stroll in one of the natural beauty of Thailand, you might be ready for a change of mood and a change of scene. Nothing could be more satisfying than a stroll in one of the country’s magnificent historical parks of Sukhothai, Lop Buri, Sri Satchanalai and Ayutthaya.
Many historical sites including the Rattanakosin Island in Bangkok, are illuminated at night, and some have light and sound presentations. The effect is pure magic.
Out of the historical parks, Phra Pathom Chedi in Nakhon Pathom is an awe-inspiring sight: The tallest Buddhist monument in the world, and also where Buddhism was first taught in this Buddhist country. An evening stroll in the grounds of the chedi and the nearby Sanam Chand Palace is pleasantly soothing after a busy day, and later you can find a host of inviting food stalls in the grounds of the chedi and the nearby Sanam Chand Palace is pleasantly soothing after a busy day, and later you can find a host of inviting food stalls in the colourful night market around the chedi’s compound.
