Many people visit countries like Thailand to loosen up, party or to spend some time out there on the beach. Conversely, some people also find it interesting to visit the palaces, temples and be a part of the cultural heritage of another nation. However, there is a major population of tourists and travelers today who wish to satiate their adrenaline rush by engaging in some of the most amazing adventure activities that the country has to offer. So, if you’re in Thailand and you want to dedicate a good part of your vacation to adventure sports and the like, then the country wouldn’t disappoint you in the least. Some of the most amazing Adventure activities that you can try out in this country are:

1.       Scuba Diving: All the popular Thai holiday destinations like Phuket, Khao Lak and Koh Tao have numerous PADI certified scuba operators. You can go for multiple day liveboard scuba trips or do single day Snorkel trips. There are a few marine parks in the country classified under the top 10 scuba destinations of the world. You can enjoy beautiful visions of the sea-life, water animals, coral reefs etc. and all of it at a reasonable price. Scuba diving is considered one of the most exquisite and fascinating adventure sports. If you’re an adventure junkie, Thailand would satisfy your craving.

2.       Zip lining: This astonishing activity takes you through the top of the Chiang Mai rainforests. When ‘zip-lining’, an individual is suspended in a single-person swing through a cable and swung over the 1500-year old Thai rainforest. You can also upgrade the single swing sport to a complete adventure package offered by a few travel groups in the country.

3.       Rock Climbing: Rock climbing has become a popular adventure sport especially on the Phi Phi islands and Krabi region owing to the lime stone karsts and the abrupt and rocky cliffs. The “Tonsai Tower” is the most prevalent climb on the Phi Phi islands. This climb provides a great escapade for beginner and inter-mediate climbers along with offering some grave challenges for the climbers at an advanced level. . In Krabi, Ao Nang and Railay Beach have the best walls to ascend with the most stunning views of the landscape. The Rock Climbing shops in the areas provide all the required gears and equipments and there are groups and trainers are well who can organize a tour comprising of such adventures. People specifically love this activity because it’s not only physically and mentally challenging but it also lets one see nature from an altogether different perspective and angle. It presents some of the most startling and spectacular views of these parts of the country.

4.       Mountain Biking: This sport has gained ultimate popularity in the country and you can opt for a number of tours and groups which let you hit the backwoods of Thailand. Several tours offer rides that last from a few hours to an entire day. Tourists usually also love to explore the lively Bangkok city on 3-hour bike tours. It’s the most amazing thing to do when there is less time and you still feel the need to experience things and places giving a kick to your bold streak.

5.       Sky Diving: Sky diving is undoubtedly one of the best adventure sports anyone can think of. It’s frightening, cool, amazing and incredible. People usually do not think of it while embarking on a trip to Thailand; however, sky diving has become all the rage especially because the weather in Thailand is good for most part of the year but also the adventure freaks get to view the magnificent scattered islands, jungles and striking shorelines from a parachute that’s high up in the air. There are some great operators that provide Sky Diving services and thus help you infuse your travel experiences with the most extreme venture.
