I have a book titled "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" by Patricia Schultz. Thailand has the following 13 entries :

1. Cruising the River of Kings to Siam's Ancient Capital of Ayuthaya (on the "Manohra Song" boat);

2. Temples of Pampering That Promise Nirvana (Ancient Thai Massage) at Wat Po or at spas like the Oriental Spa;

3. The Granddaddy of All Bangkok Markets, Chatuchak Weekend Market;

4. The Fairy-tale City, The Grand Palace;

5. Bangkok's Other Grand Palace, The Oriental Hotel;

6. A Modern Temple of Ancient Thailand's Golden Age, The Sukhothai Hotel;

7. Settlements Long Lost to the World, The Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand;

8. The Land That Time Forgot, The Four Seasons Resort in Chiang Mai;

9. Island Beauties, Koh Phi Phi;

10. An Escapist Island in the Gulf of Siam, Koh Samui;

11. An Obstacle Course of Limestone Monoliths, Phangnga Bay;

12. Thailand's City of Mist, Mae Hong Son;

13. Twin Havens Offer Thai Heaven, Amanpuri Hotel and Banyan Tree Hotel on Phuket Island.
