Tourist comes to Thailand for the tourist experience. To see all the touristy places like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Pattaya, the Islands and more.
However, to me, the best places in Thailand are the rural natural areas that many tourist never see or get a chance to visit.
I would bet, many tourists do not even know they exist because they are not on Youtube or social media.
Now only are these natural areas wonderfully to experience, living nearby is 100 times better than living in the city or tourist areas.
The beauty and fresh air is something to really behold.
If you want to experience the best places in Thailand, ask a Thai where they go outside of the tourist areas.
You might be pleasantly surprised at what you find.
