Are you an adrenaline junkie or a beach lover? From sea kayaking to sunbathing, Thailand offers outdoor activities for every taste. We asked Expedia.com.au to compile Thailand's best outdoor adventures.

Thailand for adventurers

Thailand is famous for its active adventures, both on land and water. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

Sea kayaking in Ang Thong National Marine Park

Ang Thong National Marine Park is located on the island of Koh Mae Koh, west of Koh Samui, and is characterized by towering rock formations and hidden coves. A kayaking trip is one of the best ways to experience this beautiful, pristine landscape.

Climbing at Railay Beach

The limestone cliffs at Railay Beach in Krabi attract climbers from all over the world. With hundreds of routes, Railay offers something suitable for every skill level, but even beginners should be prepared for an intensive workout.

Jungle trekking in Northern Thailand

Chiang Mai is Thailand's ideal starting point for anyone wanting to experience jungle trekking. From there, you can choose from unforgettable tours, such as the remote trading routes in Mae Hong Son or the waterfalls of Doi Inthanon National Park.

Thailand for photographers

You don't leave until you've got the perfect photo. Visit one of these spots for the ultimate Instagram post.

Experience a sunset at Cape Promthep

Capture the sunset at Cape Promthep on the southern tip of Phuket – a popular spot thanks to its breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea. Bonus: On clear nights, it's also a great place for stargazing.

Above the clouds in Phu Chi Fa

Experience the sunrise above the clouds at an altitude of 1,628 meters. The ascent to the summit of Phu Chi Fa in the northern Thai province of Chiang Rai is quite challenging at only 800 meters in length and offers you the opportunity to discover Thailand's "sea of ​​mist".

Record the details at Wat Rong Khun

Guarded by dragons and a moat of outstretched arms, the all-white Wat Rong Khun, the White Temple in Chiang Rai, is both a temple and an art exhibition. A closer look reveals intricate details that are a photographer's paradise. There is no other building like it in all of Thailand.

Thailand for relaxation

Just because you don't want to break a sweat doesn't mean you can't do adventurous things – look at this.

Located about 200 kilometers southwest of Bangkok, Hua Hin was Thailand's first beach resort. With its more relaxed atmosphere, fewer tourists than the Thai islands, and equally stunning scenery, Hua Hin is perfect for a relaxing beach holiday.

Swing on a palm tree in Koh Chang

If you want an island on your itinerary but prefer a relaxed atmosphere, then head to Koh Chang in the northeast of the Gulf of Thailand. The beaches are expansive, the drinks are inexpensive, and there's even a picturesque palm tree swing.

Escape the city to Bang Kachao

Known as Bangkok's "green lung," this artificial island is a jungle of palm trees and papaya groves, just 16 kilometers southeast of the city center. Spend the day relaxing in a café or take a leisurely bike ride. Even better, book an apartment hotel in Bangkok with a lush courtyard or rooftop garden on Expedia.com.au. This way, you can escape the everyday hustle and bustle without even leaving your hotel.
