Diving and Snorkeling
The environment of Thailand is characterized by uncontaminated places, coral reefs and a spectacular underwater life, and for this reason the crystal waters of this country, in particular of the Andaman Sea, represent the paradise for diving and snorkeling lovers. The sea and coasts of Thailand are really incredible and suggestive; there are long and white beaches, turquoise and emerald waters with a visibility until 50 mt of depth, strange granite rocks covered by a rich vegetation, but the experience underwater will allow you to know wonderful marine charms. The culmination of beauty, in fact, is the life underwater; you can swim in peace surrounded by clown fishes, turtles, corals and a lot of others species of fish, and in same places you can see also the Whale Shark and the Manta Ray. The best places to practice these activities are Phuket, Similan Island, Phi Phi Island and Kata Beach, where there are also agencies, such as the Sea Fun Divers, which provide the necessary equipment, give all the information, and organize divers courses. So Thailand is the perfect destination if tourists want to discover an amazing underwater world.
Trekking in Northern Thailand
The Northern part of this country has always been a world apart, with an unique style. This part of Thailand offers breathtaking landscapes composed of charming hills, imposing mountains, wild rivers, thick jungle and other beauties which can't be found anywhere else all over the world.
The most popular area in which trekking is more practiced is, exactly, the Northern part, with Chang Mai as a perfect starting point for all tours. The village of Chiang Mai is hidden in Chiang Dao Valley, surrounded by rivers and green hills. Here tourists can discover different aspects of this area, for example small tribal villages with their rural lives, and explore Thailand's highest peak.
For those tourists who can't give up extreme outdoor activities, the Umphang Valley, characterized by its jungle, will surely be the best destination. Tourists can reach this valley crossing the so called "Highway of the Death", an insidious route through amazing mountains landscapes. Most of all trek-tours in this valley end with an electrifying descent to the violent waters of the rivers and long walks in the forests. In this region tourists can also visit isolated caves immersed in the jungle and the Thi Lo Su Waterfall, one of the most beautiful waterfall of the South-East Asia. These waterfalls are so isolated that they were discovered only in late 80s, in fact, two day of trekking and rafting are necessary to reach these iconic waterfalls.
Trekking in Thailand is organized to empathize the beauty of the nature and a little physical effort is needful to enjoy at most this land of contrasts.
