The First Sunrise of Siam
For those who prefer nature over noise, Pha Taem is the ultimate destination. Located at the easternmost point of Thailand, this is where the sun rises first in the entire country. Thousands of people camp out on the cliffs on New Year's Eve to chant prayers and welcome the very first light of 2026. It is a spiritual and bucket-list worthy experience.
