THAILAND HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Thailand provides the perfect option for those looking to combine a relaxing beach holiday with an exciting city break. Begin your trip exploring the bustling streets of Bangkok or visit beautiful Chiang Mai, a city rich with culture and history before escaping to a picturesque beach.
With a little more time you could venture up to the Golden Triangle in the far north and perhaps even sail down the Mekong to spiritual Luang Prabang in Laos.
Within easy striking distance of Bangkok, Central Thailand is also a stunning region of ancient temples and beautiful landscapes.
Bangkok
Bangkok is a sophisticated and dynamic city boasting a rich, exciting and multifaceted personality. Home to glimmering golden temples, royal palaces and atmospheric canals, this intoxicating metropolis also offers world-class hotels, fantastic shopping and a seemingly endless array of dining and entertainment opportunities.

Chiang Mai
Thailand’s second largest city, Chiang Mai
is an atmospheric and colourful destination,
rich in history and set in the picturesque mistshrouded
foothills of northern Thailand. It boasts
a charming old town and hundreds of sacred
temples, plus excellent restaurants, a superb night
market and a laidback charm. It is also the perfect
base for exploring the surrounding countryside
and for sampling northern delicacies.
More >>
More >>
Golden Triangle
Surrounding the point at which Laos, Thailand and Burma meet, the mountainous Golden Triangle region was once notorious as the centre
of the local opium trade. Today the fertile valleys and rugged hillsides of this northernmost part of the Chiang Rai province are dotted with remote villages populated by the Hmong, Shan, Yao, Karen, Lahu and Lisu ethnic groups and bordered by the majestic Mekong River.

Mae Hong Son Province
To gain a real insight into authentic northern Thai
and Shan minority culture and to enjoy splendid
mountain scenery, travel through this beautiful area
west of Chiang Mai. Stops include the little-visited
hillside town of Khun Yuam and remote Mae Hong
Son itself, situated close to the Burmese border.
Travel the scenic, winding roads to charming Pai
before continuing on to Chiang Rai. This route is
included in our North Thailand Discovery tour.

Ayutthaya
As the capital of the Thai kingdom of Siam
for over four centuries, Ayutthaya was once
one of the most powerful and dazzling cities
in Asia. Today a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
the picturesque ruins and restored temples
are fascinating to explore. Its setting at the
confluence of three rivers provides plenty of
opportunities to soak up life on the waterways,
whether at a riverside restaurant or aboard an
overnight or dinner cruise.

More >>
Kanchanaburi
Renowned as the location of the infamous
bridge on the River Kwai, the provincial town
of Kanchanaburi is surrounded by spectacular
natural beauty. During WWII it was from here that
the Japanese set Allied prisoners of war to work
on the notorious ‘Death Railway’ linking Thailand
and Burma. Today the town features a number of
memorials to those who died and is also a great
starting point from which to visit neighbouring
national parks, waterfalls and caves.
More >>

Khao Yai National Park
Khao Yai is the second largest national park in
Thailand and offers beautiful scenery and the
chance to spot wildlife within a few hours’ drive
of Bangkok. Among the evergreen forests and
grassland you find a proliferation of birdlife,
macaques and gibbons and more elusive creatures
such as elephants, Asiatic black bears and wild
pigs. The park is also famous for its impressive
waterfalls, including the 80m Heaw Suwat, seen
in the movie ‘The Beach’.

Khao Sok National Park
At this stunning national park in southern
Thailand, dramatic limestone cliffs and beautiful
waterfalls sit amidst lush ancient rainforest.
A wide variety of wildlife call the park home
including wild elephants, boar, gibbons and over
300 species of birds, while a visit to Elephant Hills
Tented Camp is also a popular and unmissable
experience. Stay in a charmingly rustic tent in the
jungle or at a unique floating camp for the perfect
way to experience the natural beauty and wildlife
of this area.
