The Heart of Southeast Asia

Known as the Land of a Thousand Smiles for a reason, Thailand welcomes many visitors from around the world seeking its unique blend of city excitement, natural beauty, spiritual temples and beachside bliss. Holidays to Thailand are truly a trip of a lifetime.

Thailand’s world-famous cuisine is at its best here. Be prepared to indulge a little, as so much of anyone’s holidays to Thailand revolve around sampling its local specialities prepared lovingly with fresh ingredients. From fine dining to casual street food, there’s so much to eat and so little time!

Begin your journey in Bangkok. A chaotic jumble of streets, markets and shrines, top sights include the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew. See its floating markets too – while many of the well-known ones are more tourist-friendly than for the locals, they remain a sight to see. Before leaving Bangkok, check out Ayutthaya and Wat Arun, as you can never see too many temples when you are in Thailand.

After the excitement of the city, retreat to nature. Khao Yai National Park is perfect when you want a little downtime surrounded by lush vegetation and rushing waterfalls. For something more active, try to climb all 1300 metres to the top of Khao Rom mountain. The views will make the journey worthwhile.

The beaches in Thailand are the stuff of legend. Phuket is one of the top beach destinations in the world – white sands, glittering seas and gorgeous surrounds await. A real slice of paradise! Railay Beach near the city of Krabi also piques many visitors’ interest. You can only get there via boat, so plan ahead if you want to enjoy white sand surrounded by cliffs, caves, and its hidden lagoon.
