Top 7 European-Like Destinations You Must Check-Out When Exploring Thailand

Primo Piazza, Khao Yai

Dubbed as “Little Italy,” Primo Piazza is only about a 3-hour drive from the capital Bangkok, located in Khao Yai – renowned for its dreamy and enchanting beauty. Visiting Primo Piazza, you'll feel like you're in Italy with its charming small houses, walls painted in shades of brown and yellow, quaint little benches for resting, and cobblestone streets exuding classical and romantic vibes.

Though small, Primo Piazza offers plenty of gems for you to explore. It's also not short of souvenir shops or outdoor cafes designed in vintage style. Particularly, you won't need to think twice here; just raise your camera and click away for countless beautiful shots to take home.

Ban Rak Thai, also known as Mae Aw, is a charming village nestled in the highest area of Mae Hong Son province, just 1km from the Thailand - Myanmar border. This place is particularly famous for its lush green tea hills. The picturesque scenery of green mountains and serene rivers has turned this place into a beautiful landscape painting, attracting tourists to visit, learn, and explore.

To reach Ban Rak Thai, if you start from Bangkok, you can choose to fly to Chiang Mai and then take a bus (about 5-6 hours) to Mae Hong Son. Ban Rak Thai is only about 44 km from Mae Hong Son. If you start from Mae Hong Son, you just need to drive on Route 1095 for about 44km, with no gas stations along the way, but the scenery on both sides is worth admiring while driving. If you start from Pai, you will still have to drive on Route 1095, passing through Thampla-Phasua National Park, turn right and go straight to Ban Rak Thai.

Mimosa City Pattaya

Located adjacent to the famous Pattaya city in Chonburi province, Thailand, Mimosa is designed in the style of the Colmar love city (France). Here, you can stroll along romantic cobblestone streets, or admire the small winding canal amidst the flower-filled gardens and trees, reminiscent of Venice.

Silverlake Vineyard Pattaya

It takes about 45 minutes by car from the center of Pattaya to easily reach Silverlake Vineyard based on Google Maps or offline map software. Summer is the best time for Silverlake with various flowers showcasing vibrant colors alongside windmill-lined paths resembling those in the Netherlands. February and March are harvest seasons, with ripe purple grapes covering the entire vineyard, looking very appealing.

Due to the vast area of this site, pedestrian exploration is limited to prevent tourists from getting lost. If you wish to venture into the gardens, you can book a tuktuk tour to explore every nook and cranny of Silverlake. Service prices range from 100 to 250 baht per person. Silverlake is open from 9 am to 6 pm. However, the restaurants and cafes operate until 9 pm.

Address of the vineyard: 31/62 Moo 7, Na Chom Thian 20250, Pattaya.

Santorini Park

Santorini Park is located on the route from the capital Bangkok to the coastal areas of Hua Hin and Cha-am, about a 2-hour drive from Bangkok. It is a complex owned by the Pena group. True to its name, Santorini Park is designed based on the inspiration from the beautiful Santorini island and the Kaeng Krachan National Park, famous for its lush, peaceful landscapes. From a distance, you can already spot Santorini Park standing out thanks to the giant Ferris wheel right at the entrance of the amusement park.

At Santorini Park, you will encounter numerous quaint white houses, white windows, and beautiful paper flower trellises reminiscent of Santorini in Greece. Especially, Santorini Park offers countless spots for you to capture beautiful photos, as if you only need to raise your camera to take stunning pictures.

Swiss Sheep Farm

Established in 2012, Swiss Sheep Farm is located in Cha Am, Phetchaburi, approximately 175km north of bustling Bangkok. Unlike the city's hustle and bustle, at Swiss Sheep Farm, you'll feel like you've stumbled upon a miniature Switzerland with adorable sheep. A favorite activity among visitors here is hand-feeding the sheep. Each admission ticket includes a bundle of grass for feeding. Admission is around 120 baht per person, and the farm is open from 9 am to 7 pm.

Starting from Bangkok to Swiss Sheep Farm, head to Victoria Monument station (next to Century Centre). Just below the staircase leading from BTS, turn left into a small alley, which leads to the minibus station going to Cha Am, Hua Hin, and more. The journey from Bangkok to Cha Am takes approximately 2.5-4 hours (depending on traffic), with a fare of around 160 baht.

Singha Park

Considered the largest farm in Thailand, Singha Park boasts vast fields of green tea and cosmos flowers. The European-inspired architecture adds to the ambiance, creating a fusion of Asian and European cultures. The park also features a tea house designed in a cozy European style, overlooking the sunset, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Enjoying a cup of hot, fragrant tea amidst the warm atmosphere as the sun sets will undoubtedly lighten any traveler's mood.
