Thailand three main seasons are summer, monsoon and light winter. The cool winter months starting November through February are the best to criss-cross the country. If your objective is to see the country from Chiang Mai in the north to Phuket and Krabi is the south, pick winter. However, if you simply want to enjoy the beaches in Phuket, Krabi, Pattaya or on one of the smaller islands, summer months from March to early May could be an option water related activities. Monsoon months from July through October, with its torrential rains, are best avoided.
One of the iconic images associated with Thailand is that of the Reclining Buddha, the biggest of which is at the Wat Pho. At 46 metre in length and 15 metre in height the statue depicts the Buddha passing into mahaparinirvana or being released from the cycle of death and rebirth. Completed in 1832, it continues to be the largest reclining or sleeping Buddha statue in Thailand. This lends Wat Pho a certain aura among locals and visitors alike. First built in the 16 th century, Wat Pho also houses the largest collect of Buddha images, a monastery, a public education centre, a Thai medicine and massage centre – making it a preeminent place to visit for a holistic understanding of Thai culture and faith at large.
One of the key attractions of Chao Phraya river cruise is the 82-metre tall golden tower of the temple named Wat Arun. Built by the legendary king of Thailand – Taksin, after he liberated the land from Burmese invaders. During the rebuilding of Thailand (or Siam as it was earlier known) after the destruction of Ayutthaya kingdom, Taksin came across a small shrine by the riverside. He took this sighting as an auspicious beginning and built a stunning temple dedicated to the morning sun or rising sun called Arun in Indian tradition. Built in Khmer architectural style, it can be climbed by visitors where sweeping views of the river and city await.
