If adventure and tranquillity had a middle ground, it would invariably be spiritual tourism – a journey into places charged with serenity and brimming with spiritual vibes waiting to be discovered. And when we speak of spiritual tourism, there’s a land where feelings of calm, peace, and enlightenment seamlessly converge, it is Thailand.
Centrally anchored on an e-guidebook titled ‘Connecting to Spiritual Thailand’, it takes the avid traveller from the ancient, timeless temples of Bangkok to the unique spiritual theme park nestled in Chachoengsao, home to Thailand’s grandest Ganesh statue. This digital guide is a medium seized upon to unlock Thailand’s spiritual treasures to the surge of global interest, as a recent 2023 study from Future Market Insights prescribes a spectacular triple-fold escalation in the sector’s economic value within a decade.
