Kitesurfing in Thailand
Thailand has become one of the top destinations to visit regardless of kiteboarding. This is a benefit for us kiters though as Thailand has much to offer us on top of kiteboarding. You can do anything from wakeboarding, scuba diving/snorkeling, fishing trips, yoga, parasailing flights, day trips whether boat or trekking, island hop, and the list goes on.
Thailand is a beautiful affordable country to visit and it has so much to offer for eco-nomad tourism. It is true that you will find better wind/wave locations in the world through Thailand's natural beauty and activities make up for the lack of windy days.
