Welcome to the ‘Land of Smiles’, where hospitable people, vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and exquisite cuisine converge. Thailand certainly has much to offer and here are four key destinations that will inspire your wanderlust.
Bangkok
Known as the ‘City of Angels,’ Bangkok is Thailand’s capital and is a captivating blend of tradition and modernity which both saints and sinners can enjoy! You can easily find accommodation from international hotel brands which will provide access to the best experiences. Discover the grandeur of the Grand Palace, the stunning reclining Buddha statue at Wat Pho, and the vibrant nightlife of Khao San Road. Don’t miss the tantalising street food, a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River, and the bustling markets and sprawling malls. Bangkok’s vibrant energy will leave you mesmerised and inspired to explore more.
Chiang Rai
Located in the northern region, Chiang Rai is a hidden gem worth spending time at as well. To fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty, be based in the Golden Triangle area where Thailand meets Laos and Myanmar; properties here like the resort of Minor Hotels also give you a chance to get up close to gentle giants at its ethical elephant camp which will be truly unforgettable. More discoveries await at the enthralling White Temple, unique Blue Temple, and intriguing Hall of Opium Museum. Don’t forget to also take a cruise along the Mekong River which offers more insights into a rich cultural and natural heritage.
Koh Samui
Koh Samui, a tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand, beckons with its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, luxury resorts and lush jungles. Experience the vibrant nightlife of Chaweng Beach, unwind on the tranquil shores of Lamai Beach, and visit the iconic Big Buddha that looks out across the landscape. Thrill seekers can engage in water sports, head off on adventures to visit the scenic Na Muang Waterfalls or explore the pristine islands of the Ang Thong National Marine Park. Of course, you can also simply laze away on golden shores because Koh Samui offers a slice of paradise for all!
Koh Phangan
Known by revellers the world over, Koh Phangan is famous for its Full Moon Parties which provide unique and lively experiences. However, there’s much more to this island than just dancing the night away on the shore! You can enjoy luxurious comforts at a resort along the scenic Thong Nai Pan Noi Beach, indulge in holistic spa rituals and even learn Muay Thai, a traditional Thai martial art. For more rewarding things to do, you can set off on jungle treks and find hidden waterfalls at the Than Sadet National Park. Suffice it to say, this is a versatile destination that caters to both the party-loving and the nature-seeking traveller.
