Nakhon Si Thammarat: Thailand’s eco-friendly haven

[webfact]

Sitting quietly in Southern Thailand, Nakhon Si Thammarat province is a captivating destination that showcases some of Thailand’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Its lush green hills and pristine coastline make it a haven for nature enthusiasts.

 

Often referred to as ‘the green lungs of Thailand’, Nakhon Si Thammarat has remained relatively undiscovered, catering primarily to savvy international travellers and locals. However, this is changing. A harmonious collaboration between the public and private sectors, combined with improved transportation infrastructure, is set to reveal this ecological paradise to the world.

 

The excitement is palpable as a state-of-the-art international terminal at Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport nears completion, scheduled for inauguration by the end of 2023. This marks a new era of accessibility, with direct flights from Singapore, Taiwan, China, and Malaysia in the pipeline.

Will probably stay 'undiscovered' for quite some time, as you have to self entertain once there, like most of TH.   

 

No adult nightlife catering to international travelers of course.  

 

Quite like NST, and just came back last week from there.  Have a nice coastal road with viewpoints along the Gulf.  But it's still the Gulf, and more often than not, good for only looking at, not swimming in.

 

KiriWong is nice streamside village in the hills.  and downtown isn't too hectic, during the week, with plenty of good food.

 

Special trip, nah really, but if in the neighborhood, or making a loop out of it, definitely worth popping in.
