Interestingly, about 59% of tourists in Thailand are return visitors. This statistic mirrors tourists' high level of satisfaction with Thailand's scenic places and hospitable people. Bangkok isn't the only place worth visiting in Thailand. According to the same list by Euromonitor, three other Thailand cities made it to the Top Destinations of the World. With the bounty of tourists seeking to find their own escapades in this Asian paradise , Pattaya was ranked at 23rd, Phuket at 31st and Chiang Mai at 78th.

There are many activities tourists can include in the itinerary when visiting Amazing Thailand. Some tourists can go north of Thailand to trek mountains and interact with ethnic minority groups. Some may want to travel south of the country to visit its beautiful beaches, witness unforgettable sunsets and go island-hopping with family or friends. Others may want to experience Bangkok city life, go shopping and sample Thai cuisine. Those interested in history and spirituality can explore temples and Buddhist artifacts. A good number of tourists visit the country to tour the gardens of Thailand, witness the Chiang Mai Flower Festival and smell the flowers Phuket (in a literal sense).
