Beaches

The postcard white sandy beaches with limestone karst pillars rising sharply from the sea are found in Southern Thailand, and most would argue that these rank among the best in the world. More beaches are found within driving distance of Bangkok, and others more difficult to reach. Either way, beach holiday planning in Asia starts with Thailand.

Chiang Mai Night Market

The hub of northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is a charming city with a small-town feel boasting an old town, timeless temples, breathtaking mountain communities, and a lively night market. A maze of streets, the night bazaar is Chiang Mai’s most popular evening out.

Bangkok's Klongs

The canals that branch off of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya ‘River of Kings’ offer an excellent glimpse into city life away from the activity of busy streets. See communities along the water, watch long tail boats cruise by, and observe as city life plays out along the river banks.

Ayutthaya & Sukhothai

Both once Siamese capitals, the remains are not only historic but grand and impressive. If the image of Thailand with temple ruins, Buddhist monuments, stone stupas and saffron-clad monks draws your interest, both of these UNESCO World Heritage Sites fit the bill.

Rural Villages & Hill Tribe Traditions

The image of homes on stilts, rural communities, and traditional hill-tribe attire, is synonymous with Southeast Asia, and Thailand remains one of the best places to immerse yourself among the culture and to explore away from the cities and towns. Take treks through the mountains to traditional villages for the night, or just explore for the day. This is Thailand.
