Temples on Khao Wang, Phetchaburi

We have another long weekend starting tomorrow and I was browsing through my guidebooks this evening trying to find somewhere new to visit. I cannot go too far as it is only a three day holiday but I could stretch it to four if I left Friday afternoon. Anyway, I will tell you about my destination when I return after the weekend. What I want to blog about today is a “41 Things Not to be Missed” list I discovered in the Rough Guide to Thailand guidebook. Although not comprehensive, it is nethertheless a good starting point to use if you are planning a trip to Thailand.

1. Phuket
2. Nan
3. Sea-canoeing in the Krabi region
4. Silk
5. Loy Krathong
6. Khao Yai National Park
7. Full Moon Party at Hat Rin, Koh Pha Ngan
8. Khmer Ruins
9. Diving and snorkelling off Koh Similan
10. The National Museum of Bangkok
11. Koh Chang
12. Koh Tao
13. Traditional Massage
14. Trekking from Umphang
15. Krung Ching waterfall, Nakhon Si Thammarat
16. Koh Lanta

36. Chatuchak Weekend Market, Bangkok
37. Rock climbing on Laem Phra Nang
38. Tom yam kung
39. Sukhothai
40. Axe cushions

Not a bad list though I think they wandered away into cuckoo land a few times. They don’t even have my intended destination for this weekend. I will give you a clue. It has the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. No ideas? You will just have to wait and find out.

It will be good if you can put some parenthesis in Thai.. It will help for me to understand it a bit faster. For example, "trekking from Umphang"... it took me a while to realize what you are writing about...
