Gap Year in Thailand

Thailand Gap Year review Letz Live

Amazing Thailand is full of history, ancient temples, stunning beaches and friendly people.

Tourists come here for many different things. Some visit for the street food and spicy dishes. Some explore the remnants of centuries-old temples and shrines. Some go island hopping and scuba diving. These visitors have varying interests, but they all agree on one thing about their experience: it’s amazing!

The moment you step off the plane and soak in the sun, you’ll immediately have a smile on your face. Thailand has that distinct charm that makes people want to stay and explore. Throughout your gap year working in Thailand you will come to appreciate the friendly and supportive smiles from the children and staff, making each day enjoyable.

Our fav things to do Thailand

Thailand is a mix of stunning landscapes, ancient temples and vibrant cities.

Temple crawl your way around the country. There are around 40 thousand temples throughout the entire country. Some of the most popular to visit are the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet and Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, Wat Pho to see the giant reclining Buddha; and Wat Rong Khun, or the White Temple located just outside of Chiang Rai. These temples all hold fascinating history, religious and cultural significance. 


Try some street food. Thailand is famous for it’s food and one of the best ways to experience the local culture and some of the best dishes is to take a seat on the street and try some of the famous Pad Thai, Khao Soi (Creamy Coconut Curry Noodle Soup) and Kao Niew Ma Muang (Mango and Sticky Rice) to just name a few. For the more adventurous maybe try a scorpion. 


Island hop through some of the prettiest islands in the world. See Phang Nga Bay and the limestone rocks on the West Coast, island hop from Phuket and Krabu to visit the famous Koh Phi Phi islands. Snorkel, kayak and swim in the crystal clear waters.
