Many seniors will enjoy the numerous and varied educational venues throughout Thailand.  From the most beautiful gardens in Southeast Asia to its largest aquarium in Chiang Mai, one can learn a great deal about the flora and fauna of the tropics.

Every large city, and even some smaller ones, has fascinating museums; while history buffs will want to head towards Ayuttaya, and continue on to Sukhothai and Chiang Mai.  Those interested more in natural history will love the Lotus Museum in Pathum Thani and Phuket’s amazing Sea Shell Museum.

Not to be missed are the various training centers: for meditation, massage, medicine, muay Thai (Thai boxing), and even for monkeys, at the Monkey School in Surat Thani.
