TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Thailand is one of the popular destinations for tourists worldwide. Millions of tourists are attracted to its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine. The abundance of tourist attractions and activities makes Thailand a suitable destination.

Whether it's luxury-seeking travelers, adventure enthusiasts, or those just looking to enjoy a different beach atmosphere, Thailand has it all. So what exactly makes this country attractive to many tourists? As the Times of India reported, here are five reasons why Thailand is a dream destination.

1. Stunning Beaches

As mentioned earlier, beaches in Thailand offer stunning views, crystal-clear water, fine white sand, and dramatic limestone cliffs. Moreover, there are over 1,400 islands in Thailand, each with its charm. Some popular places for tourists include Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Samui. In addition to relaxing and swimming at the beach, tourists can also engage in other activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, and paragliding.

2. Street Food that Stimulates the Palate

What else could one look for on a vacation if not the local cuisine? Thailand can be said to be a paradise for food lovers, especially its street food. From spicy Pad Thai to mango sticky rice, it's a pity to miss out. In addition, in Bangkok, there's Jay Fai, a Michelin-starred street food vendor famous for her crab omelet, which makes people wait for hours to taste.

3. Land of Smiles

Thailand is known as ''The Land of Smiles'' because the locals are always smiling and friendly. Thai people value hospitality and believe that a smile can solve almost anything. Thai hospitality might make tourists feel like VIPs anywhere, even when buying a coconut from a street vendor.

4. Adventure at Every Turn

Thailand offers plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities, from exploring the forests in Chiang Mai to diving in the Andaman Sea. This includes interacting with elephants in special sanctuaries or taking Muay Thai classes in their home country. Moreover, tourists can also visit the world's largest golden Buddha statue, which is over 15 feet tall and weighs about 5.5 tons.

5. Temples Straight Out of a Fantasy Film

For history enthusiasts or those just looking to capture the moment, the temples in Thailand are a must-visit. The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai, famous for its unique design, was built in 1997 by an artist who decided to create his dream temple. Tourists can also visit the Grand Palace in Bangkok and Wat Arun.
