A visit to Pattaya is a wonderful way to explore the beaches along the Gulf of Thailand. Relaxed and family-friendly Jomtien Beach is a hot spot for watersports and seaside massages. The giant Buddha of Wat Khao Phra Bat keeps watch over the city, and the wooden Wang Boran Sanctuary of Truth pays homage to Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture. At night, tons of bars and strip clubs attract an adults-only crowd.

金黃色的宮殿、水上市場、雄偉的圓形陶瓷屋頂…這不就是夢幻仙境了嗎？ 不，這是泰國的首都曼谷，共分成 50 區。你可以前水門或暹羅廣場瘋狂購物，然後再去 Dusit 的歐式花園好好放鬆一下。Thon Buri 最知名的就是鄭王廟 (Wat Arun)，如果想到臥佛寺 (Wat Pho) 參觀大臥佛，就要去 Phra Nakhon。你亦可以在參觀大皇宮 (Grand Palace) 之前，先去路邊攤買一盤芒果糯米，邊吃邊欣賞建築之美。

華欣 (Hua Hin) 深受曼谷居民喜愛，是一處美麗的海濱度假勝地。這裡沒有喧囂的通宵派對，適合一家大細渡假，或想要放鬆身心的旅客。亦因為這裡氣氛恬靜，這裡的海灘最適合讓旅客沉殿心靈、安靜享受。華欣過去只是一個小漁港，之後搖身一變，成為皇室欽點的度假村，亦正因如此，華欣仍能保有寧靜、悠閒的小鎮風情，不至於淪落為一般庸俗的觀光城市。

峴港是一座既悠閒又友善的城市，這可能是因為你所遇到的人，剛好都享用過美味的大餐，因而心情大好。在這裡展開美食之旅是實際體驗當地風味的絕佳方式。此外，在街邊吃過粄條湯與開胃小食後，不妨散散步，探索五行山 (Marble Mountains) 的鐘乳石洞和石窟寺，藉此消除飽脹感。

芽莊最知名的就是這裡美麗的沙灘。不過這裡還有遊樂園、洗泥浴、哥爾夫球場，還有充滿歷史風情的佔婆族遺址，以及各種酒店和餐廳選擇。如果識食客想要冒險嘗試新東西，不妨來一道用旗魚和水母做成的當地料理 Bun Cha Ca。

You could spend your whole Chiang Mai holiday exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s centre, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travellers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

布吉島猶如七色彩虹般璀璨耀眼，你可以盡情欣賞藍色的潟湖、粉色的日落，以及身著橙色袈裟的僧侶。三輪電單車、的士、巴士和長尾船，絡繹不絕地將遊客載往這些令人驚嘆的奇景。布吉島南方海岸有著最受歡迎的熱門海灘。相較之下，北方海岸則顯得寧靜得多。PP 島、攀牙灣和巴東海灘皆是熱門景點。潛水、浮潛、風帆和帆船等豐富的戶外活動任君選擇。此外還有陸地、翠鬱的山丘、高山和懸崖靜待你深入探險。

From the cosmopolitan metropolis of Cebu City and the white-sand beaches of Mactan to the electric-blue waters of Kawasan Falls and the whale sharks of Oslob, it’s easy to see why Cebu Island is one of the Philippines’ top destinations.

Want to make your co-workers insanely jealous? Just casually drop "I’m holiday making in the Maldives this year" into conversation, preferably in the dead of winter. Or better yet, go there without mentioning it to anyone—then send them a "Wish you were here!" postcard.
