1. Soi Dog Foundation
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,283 reviews
Soi Dog Foundation is S.E. Asia’s largest rescue organisation for vulnerable street dogs and stray cats. For 16 years, supported by generous donations and global volunteers, SDF has worked tirelessly to reduce animal suffering through CNVR (Catch; Neuter; Vaccinate; Return) programmes. For animals unable to be returned safely to the streets, SDF provides sanctuary, as well as local and international adoption services. Rather than a “pound”, SDF is a haven where sick and vulnerable dogs and cats receive world-class medical care, and love. SDF is working in several countries to help end the inhumane and barbaric dog meat trade. SDF is also committed to environmental sustainability and has several ongoing green initiatives. Please feel free to enquire during your tour. Guided tours available Monday-Friday at 10:00am and 13:30pm. Following the 40-minute tour, visitors are encouraged to socialise with our lovely cats and dogs.

Simply an amazing and rewarding experience - we gave five days of our time volunteering, which primarily involved walking the dogs and then hours of playful interaction. We were so sad to leave at the end, but recommend it to the many travellers who pass through Thailand.

3. Wat Phra Chetuphon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50,925 reviews
One of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok features the famous Reclining Buddha, which is the largest in Thailand measuring more than 150 feet in length.
Reviewed By LaNyonsaise - West Midlands, United Kingdom
Most of the tour groups are taken directly to the Reclining Buddha and, yes, it is impressive and well worth seeing. However, the temple complex is extensive with lots of stupas, huge statues, little rockeries and tinkling fountains and by exploring more widely you will find shady corners for peace and contemplation. My favourite out of the 3 main places to visit in that part of Bangkok.

This is a great beach if you like a nice walk on clean sand with the option of dipping in and out of the beautiful clear sea every so often. There are plenty of restaurants dotted about for refreshments if needed.
7. Freedom Beach

Reviewed By LoveNatureTraveller
Fantastic warm, clean water, one small cafe on beach, take tuk tuk instead long boat ( tuk tuk from Karon Beach to Freedom costs 400 baht, and long boat from Patong charge 1000 baht, although trip is very short. If you arrive by car/tuk tuk/motorbike, you have to walk down/up the stairs - some good, some broken, but manageable - average fitness required, down takes 20 minutes to walk, up - 25-30 mins to walk. Clean beach. Jewel in the midst of civilization. Definitely recommended!!!

On a sunrise Phi Phi Island tour with simba Sea Trips, this was our first stop for a wander, snorkel and light breakfast Truly idealic and a great start to the day. The coral has lost a lot of colou, but the fish & clams make up for that. A great experience.

A nice place to spend the evenings where you can browse the arts and crafts, sit in the open air and listen to live music, you have a great choice of food, the Cicada market though is only open at the weekends and can be very busy if you a going by car.

Loved this beacj very much, was close to our hotel, had lots of places to eat and drink right on the sand as well as in the township. The water was clean, no big waves, lots of activities and the hawkers were polite and left you when you said No thanks to them without any hassle.
