What comes to mind when you are planning to visit Thailand? Beautiful sea views, island hopping or Tom Yum soup? Why not leave those ideas behind and try something fresh, such as an inland tour to discover a different Thailand?
In the South Thailand province of Surat Thani, you will experience another side of Thailand. Granted the name from King Rama IV, Surat Thani means "city of the good people". Many Chinese tourists are fascinated by the province's islands, such as Koh Samui and Koh Tao, but few have explored its amazing inland, which includes the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world — Khao Sok National Park — or the magnificent Buddhist temples in the Khao Na Nai Luang Dharma Park as well as boat trips along the rivers.
