Along the Mekong River through the Isan

The northeast of Thailand is called Isan. Because Isan borders Laos, the culture is more similar to neighbouring Laos. A large part of Isan has the Mekong as a border river with Laos. The Mekong River is a beautiful live giver for local people. For travellers, it is a destination where river ferry cruises are a terrific way to spend your time.
The Mekong floats like a shining snake through the green foresty mountains. So, if you like water or a boat trip, this part is a pleasant destination in Thailand to travel to. Maybe even more spectacular to visit are the wondrous canyons in the rocky Sam Pan Bok. You find them near the banks of the beautiful Mekong River.

Turquoise coloured mangrove jungle

The Chao Phraya is fed by several rivers that originate in the north. The delta river flows into the Gulf of Thailand near Bangkok. Very surprisingly, there are no pearly white sandy beaches here. But you will find beautiful mangrove forests in a cyan-coloured oasis of seawater. Trees grow here in a fabulous way in the salty seawater.

These are relaxed locations to unwind. There are several resorts where you do yoga or meditation.

Islands can be found both in the Gulf of Thailand and on the west coast of the Andaman Sea. Many islets cover ​​only a few square miles, but the larger islands are well-known tourist hotspots. Don’t you think this is a nice location to join a yoga or wellness resort? Else there are certainly some monasteries that welcome you to live in a more ascetic and spiritual way. So, if you are more interested in an authentic experience during your holiday, you can visit one.

Thailand: a paradise yoga destination

So, spiritual Buddhist travellers will experience pleasant weather in Thailand. It is better to travel when there are no monsoon rains.
