Explore The Secondary Cities - Fun, Calm and Great Way to Avoid the Crowd

When talking about tourism in Thailand, there are a few famous provinces that are known nationally and internationally. But when it comes to holidays, those destinations tend to be crowded both with distractions and restaurants. Wouldn’t it be better if we can go to some places that are not crowded and give out similar vibes? There are many secondary cities that are also top-tier. Let’s take a look at where they are!
