Something for Everyone
With a tropical climate, fascinating culture, majestic mountains, thick jungles as green as can be, crystal blue waters that feel more like a warm bath than a swim in the ocean, and food that can curl your nose hairs while dancing across your taste buds it is easy to understand why Thailand is a magnet for travellers from all around the world.
There is something for every interest and every budget from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best luxury hotels in the world. For many Bangkok is their landing point in Thailand, with the first stop the Grand Palace, home to Wat Phra Kaew, the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand and the the Emerald Buddha. From Bangkok head to Ayutthaya and Sukhothai the former capitals of Siam and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Si Satchanalai and Kamphaeng Phet.
In the northern provinces base yourself in Chiang Mai for fantastic trekking trips in the mountains.
Thailand is famous for it’s beaches and like everything in Thailand there is an option for everyone. There are ritzy beach resorts of Pattaya, Phuket and Ko Samui the backpacker vibe of Ko Chang and the huge assortment in the Krabi Province. Unfortunately beaches such as Ao Nang, Rai Leh famous for their rock climbing and the long golden beaches of Ko Lanta and Ko Phi Phi have been undergoing major developments on the back of large tourist numbers,.
Nonetheless, despite the preponderance of tourism Thailand is still very Thai - the incredibly friendly people, the sumptuous affordable food, the Tuk Tuks and the Wats are uniquely Thai and all bundle together in a chaotic synergy makes this place one of the most special on the planet!
