Thailand is a country of incredible contrasts, where white-sand beaches, dense jungles, vibrant cities, and centuries-old temples exist side by side. Whether you’re looking for a restful beach escape, an action-packed adventure, or a culture-rich city break, Thailand delivers every time.
You could start in Bangkok for street food markets, ornate palaces, and fast-paced city life, then head south to islands such as Phuket, Koh Samui, and Koh Lanta, where turquoise waters and dramatic limestone cliffs take centre stage. In the north, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai offer cooler highlands, hill-tribe villages, and easy access to trekking, elephant sanctuaries, and morning markets.
Thai cuisine is a highlight in itself, with fresh seafood, street-side noodle stalls, and regional specialities forming a key part of everyday life. Cultural festivals add even more colour throughout the year, with Loy Krathong and Songkran among the most memorable experiences. Scuba diving around the Similan and Phi Phi Islands ranks among the best in Asia, while coastal spas focus on Thai massage and wellness retreats.
