[RicardoHun]

Good idea Richard
I would nominate Wat Phra Doi Suthep as every bit of building material had to be hauled up the mountain through the then dense jungle, also I would nominate the road built hundreds of years later from the bottom of the mountain to the Wat. This was built in a few weeks weeks in 1935 with nothing more than agricultural tools-and the unskilled and voluntary labour of thousands of people from all over Thailand.

(2) I know 4 of the 7, but my wife made me quit associating with them when we got married,, she is a jealous and possessive woman..555

[evammaUselp]

What about the Thai-Burma railway.
I know not build for the same grand reasons as Doi Suthep, but the actual completion of it and the conditions suffered at the time it certainly is a remarkable acheivement. Not forgetting the hundreds of people that undoubtedly laid down thier lives under duress to build the Pyramids, the Colloseum, and the Great Wall etc. Not to be celebrated but definately remembered and remarked upon.

The sunken temple in Sam Roi Et, near Prachuap Khiri Khan?

The Krabi coastline down to Khao Sok?

Krung Thep?

[gennnniiikk]

I made up a list of six for each category, leaving room for important ones that I would surely forget. In no particular order...

Natural wonders:

• Chao Phraya River system
• Maekong River
• coral reefs
• Korat Plateau
• Kra Isthmus
• Dongrek mountain range

Man-made wonders:

• Ancient City in Samut Prakan
• Sirikit Dam, Uttaradit province, including reservoir and supporting dams
• Phanom Rung & Muang Tam, Buriram province
• Ban Chiang in Udon Thani province
• Wat Pra Kaew
• Ayuthaya

[Emunsesoxmete]

I'm not sure about the rest, but I'd definitely like to nominate the Similan Islands. (anybody else been there?)

[adverwork]

Also don't forget ËÑÇ⢹ Khon Masks.

(1) Ban Chiang (Udon Thani Province) - ancient civilisation was located here
(2) Mon architecture at the ancient temple of Wat Haripunchai, Lamphun, site of a Mon capital that pre-dates the early Tai states centred at Chiang Rai/Chiang Mai, Sukhothai and Phayao
(3) The Emerald Buddha - Bangkok
(4) Phu Phra Bat (Udon Thani Province)- marvellous cave paintings and rock formations
(5) Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) - Thonburi
(6) the ancient ruins at Sukhothai
(7) the pottery kilns at San Khamphaeng (Chiang Mai Province)

[jenilopaz]

I will only nominate the places that I have visited and remember. (several places I visited when I was too young to remember, I have never been to Ban Chiang and Panom Rung, but I would love to, hence, I left some space for them. )

Man-Made Wonders:

1) Sukhothai Historical Park (UNESCO's World Heritage)
ÍØ·ÂÒ¹»ÃÐÇѵÔÈÒʵÃìÊØ⢷ÑÂ

2) The Temple of the Emerald Buddha (I know every one already mentioned this, I actually want to focus especially on The Ramayana Murals - ¨ÔµÃ¡ÃÃÁ½Ò¼¹Ñ§ÇÑ´¾ÃÐá¡éÇ)

3) Anantasamakom Throne Hall
¾ÃзÕè¹Ñè§Í¹Ñ¹µÊÁÒ¤Á
(not just the outside, I love the place more when I saw inside, especially paintings on the dome ceiling.)

4) The Marble temple (Wat Benchamabophit)
ÇÑ´àº*¨Áº¾ÔµÃ´ØÊԵǹÒÃÒÁ

Natural Wonders:
1) Ang Thong Marine National Park
ÍØ·ÂÒ¹áË觪ҵÔËÁÙèà¡ÒÐÍèÒ§·Í§

2) Phukradung National Park
ÍØ·ÂÒ¹áË觪ҵÔÀÙ¡Ãд֧

3) Thi-Lo-Su Waterfall
¹éÓµ¡·ÕÅÍ«Ù
That's all I can decided for now, there are many more places I can think of but I can't decide whether they can be counted as one of seven-wonders or just a nice place to visit .

[tickerinet]

For man-made, I'll nominate Siam Paragon and the megabridge. Maybe as an engineering disaster Suvarnaphoom airport.

[Trissinas]

1. Princess Cave Beach (Ao Phranang) - Krabi
2. Tilosoo Waterfall - Tak
3. The Emerald Cave - Trang
4. Phukradung - Lery

[NutChusty]

Walking Street Pattaya

Quite obviously Thailand's greatest visual wonder, the one and only -

[PebydataFeents]

I would add Wat Prathat Lampang Luang to the list of Wats.

[Aswdwdfg]

I really like everyone's answers...especially the votes for Phanom Rung and Ban Chiang.

....I took the 7 wonders in a different direction.

1. Accidental Wonder of Thailand -- Wat Saket/PukaoTong
2. Visual Wonder of Thailand -- Chapel of Wat Rong Khun
3. Agricultural Wonder of Thailand -- the grain of rice, the rubber tree (in Trang there is a monument to the first ever rubber tree in Thailand...not sure if there is someplace claiming to be the first rice field??)
4. Unseen Wonder of Thailand -- Kreu-Se Mosque in Pattani
5. The 'Size Matters' Wonder of Thailand -- Wat Po
6. The Unusually Titled Wonder of Thailand -- Tiffany Show

For the man-made wonders I'd nominate the ancient rock paintings at Pha Taem in Ubon Ratchatani.

I don't think many people in Europe associate Red Bull with Thailand - most people here think it originates in Austria.
