Travelers can explore lesser-known destinations in Thailand
Thailand is preparing for an influx of tourists due to the new season of "The White Lotus," which is expected to draw hundreds of thousands to Koh Samui. This raises concerns about overtourism in the country. To avoid crowded hotspots, travelers can explore lesser-known destinations. Koh Phayam offers a tranquil beach experience without cars, while Nan provides a peaceful cultural escape with beautiful temples and local markets. Khao Sok features stunning natural landscapes and wildlife experiences, and Bang Krachao, known as Bangkok's "Green Lung," offers a quiet retreat with bike paths and local markets. These areas provide alternatives to the busy tourist spots.
