    Take a Virtual Tour of Thailand

    Take a virtual tour of Thailand with bird’s eye tours of top attractions in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Surat Thani.

    The tours, created by The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), are immersive 360° adventures that allow visitors to explore the attractions in 3D.

    Take a Virtual Tour of Thailand

    After clicking on individual links from the Tourism Thailand Virtual Tours main page, visitors are lead directly to the attraction.

    There are icons for viewing floorplans and for navigation, while other functions allow visitors to view in VR or share with friends on social media. Once inside an attraction, visitors can move around using the cursor, while some of the attractions have information about its historical background or details of items on display.

    3D Virtual Tour

    The 3D virtual tour helps give visitors a visual image of each attraction and that will hopefully encourage them to visit some of them in real life in the near future. While some of us might find it a little depressing to think this is the closest we will get to visiting Thailand this year, a little daydreaming is good for the soul!

    In Bangkok, the Mekhala Ruchi Pavilion lets visitors virtually explore the two-storey teak wood building in all its glory, which was the residence of King Rama VI while Phayathai Palace was under construction. Meanwhile, the virtual tour of Thewarat Sapharom Hall showcases the elegant interior of the palace’s throne hall, and the Phiman Chakri Hall stands out for its iconic turret.

    In Chiang Mai, visitors can dive deep into a virtual visit of Phra Chao Tan Chai Ma Tam Na Bun Chapel or the Big Reclining Buddha at Wat Chedi Luang. There is also a tour of Phra Maha That Chedi for the 12 astrological signs and Phra Chao Pun Ton. The final two attractions in Chiang Mai include the statue of Khruba Chao Teung Na Ta Si Lo and Ma Tam Na Bun Chapel.

    In the southern region, there are virtual tours of Chedi Khao Hua Chuk in Surat Thani and Chinpracha House in Phuket.

    The virtual reality tours give visitors a bird’s-eye view of these famous attractions, allowing them to move around simply by clicking on points of interest. Let’s hope we can see them for real some time soon!
