So much to see and do, and to really appreciate.

Welcome to Thailand Rocks.

Beyond Bangkok and Phuket

Showing you a few places in Thailand that we think are worth visiting, even if you might not have heard of them before.

About

Thailand Rocks is based on a project that was started in 2014, which was then on showing the relatively undiscovered places in Thailand – essentially, places outside the tourist hotspots of Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai.

It aimed to give locals and foreigners the opportunity to visit places relatively “off the beaten track”, and have a look at the hidden treasures because Thailand has more to offer than Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai, as amazing as these places may be. Unfortunately, the project was discontinued but we wanted to share this again with you – enter Thailand Rocks!

On the previous website, ten different regions had been chosen because they are not the places that tourists instantly think of going to, but are still brilliant destinations for visitors to explore and discover. The focus was places such as Mae Hong Son, Phetchabun, Trang, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Trat, Rayong, Amnat Charoen, etc.

Useful Thai Phrases

A useful mini Thai Phrases translation guide is also helpful to help with navigation and communication in less touristy destinations. See below.

Note that we are not a travel agency and do not sell tour packages or organize transportation. This is merely a website to introduce you to different parts of Thailand which you may have not heard of.

Contribute to Thailand Rocks

If you think there is any place that should be added, please let us know using the Contact page. We are keen to hear your thoughts about the different destinations you have been to or that are in your bucket list.

Our research is primarily based on the places that we have been to or found fascinating online, but there are likely to be many more places worth visiting. Some of the information is also limited as we were unable to discover parts of the information and photographs from our previous website, which focused on undiscovered Thailand.

We may be a bit biased when listing out the places because it is based on our taste and expectations for where people may want to visit. You may prefer a different sort of holiday (e.g. a beach holiday rather than one exploring mountains) so it may not exactly suit your taste. We have nonetheless attempted to include different options for different personalities. Hopefully we have mentioned some places for you!

Focus

While the focus of Thailand Rocks is to promote the same provinces and places as the previous project website, there are actually more places worth visiting as well that can be considered “off the beaten track”. Koh Kho Khao in Phang Nga province is perhaps a great mention, along with Phayao.
