The National Museum Bangkok is the biggest museum in Southeast Asia and a great stop, alongside the Museum of Siam, if you want to understand Thai history and art. It’s spread across several buildings, showcasing everything from ancient sculptures and royal regalia to traditional costumes and ceramics. The collection can feel a bit overwhelming, so it’s worth focusing on the highlights—like the giant Buddha statues and the Bangkok-period royal artefacts. Guided tours are available if you want the backstory behind the displays, but wandering on your own gives a good sense of Thailand’s past at your own pace.

For an unforgettable experience, skydive above the beach and ocean in Wollongong. Securely attached to your experienced tandem instructor, you'll be guided through the entire skydive. Your adventure begins with a safety briefing followed by a scenic plane ride. As the excitement builds, your instructor will prepare you for the countdown and together you'll make the jump from more than 4 kilometres above the beautiful coast. After you freefall at more than 200 km/h for a minute, your instructor will pull the chute and you'll soar serenely for 5-7 minutes before landing.

Kapparis beach (a recipient of the Blue Flag accreditation) is found north of Protaras, in the homonymous district of Kapparis. It is also known as the beach of MMAD, named after the training centre of the Police Rapid Response Unit (MMAD), located nearby. It is a small, fine golden sandy beach with clear waters and is very popular with locals and tourists happy to give the hectic beaches a miss. There are sun loungers and parasols available for hire, and the area is patrolled by a lifeguard.
