Thailand is one of the most exotic countries in the world. At the thought of Thailand, the only pictures that conjure up are those of its stunning beaches<\/a>, yummy cuisine<\/a>, vibrant nightlife<\/a> and warm locals. Pictures are never enough to describe the beautiful and incomparable landscapes of this picturesque tiny piece of paradise. When you think of exotic places you probably think of a faraway land, perhaps an island far away from the hustle and bustle of the noisy cities. While this is a completely normal thought to have when one mentions the word \u201cexotic\u201d there are some places in Thailand that you can travel to right now that are considered exotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our picks of 7 most exotic places in Thailand<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Phang Nga Bay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

James Bond island Phang Nga Bay <\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Phang Nga is one of the most glorious bays in Thailand, and perhaps the whole of South-East Asia. It is known for its dramatic landscape, made of limestone islands that give the place a unique look. Now a\nnational park, this delightful expanse of turquoise water is a magnificent\nexample of a karst landscape, extending across an area of 400km2. From the\noutside, Phang Nga Bay certainly lights up the wanderlust flame in discerned\ntravelers, yet it is beyond the limestone walls and areas of mangrove forests\nthat bring the tropically best out of its dotted landscape. James Bond Island\nand Koh Panyee are just two of the more famous spots in this bay. By far the\nbest means of enjoying the spectacular scenery, with only brief encounters with\nthe tourist crowds at James Bond and Koh Panyee, is to take one of the boat\ntrips from the northern end of Phuket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Grand Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally\nthe seat and residence of the royal family, the Grand Palace today functions as\na center for ceremonies and museums. It is the finest examples of Royal\narchitecture through the millennia. The Grand Palace is to locals what the\nEiffel Tower are to the French or the Pyramids are to Egyptians. It is the\nstructure that Thais proudly consider best represents the city and nation. There\u2019s\nno other locale that exemplifies classical Thai architecture quite like this\nplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
