Located at 330 km southeast of Bangkok and 80 km west of Cambodia border, Koh Chang or “Elephant Island” is the third largest island in Thailand.

A comfortable half hour drive out of the city, the boutique Hua Hin Hills Vineyard produces some quality Monsoon Valley wines that are often found in five-star hotels and restaurants around Thailand.

The food is as good as the wine so bring your appetite and just revel in the surroundings. Another great place to kick back and relax is SeenSpace, described as the ...

One of the country's most beautiful and original temples in Hang Dong, Chiang Mai Amid many concrete temples in the northern province of Chiang Mai, very few maintain the original design and concept of a traditional northern temple. Among the rare ones is Wat Intharawat, better known as Wat Ton Kwen, in Hang Dong district, which truly represents Lanna architecture. The temple is worthy of exploration by everyone, not just culture vultures. It was named by the Association of Siamese Architects as the most outstanding piece of architecture in 1989. You may feel familiar with it because its prayer hall is copied as Hor Kham Luang of the Royal Park Rajapruek and has served as the setting for many popular movies and TV series.

Its plan is similar to that of Wat Pa Daed in Mae Chaem district which has some new buildings,...
