If you’re into history, Kanchanaburi is a must-visit. It’s a place with a lot of history, going back to World War II. The area is known for being part of the “Death Railway” , the bridge built by the hands of prisoners of war.

The bridge and war cemeteries are iconic pieces of history and must-visit destinations for people who are into history.

4. Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is a place that feels as if the Shire from the Lord of the Rings was set in Thailand instead of New Zealand.
