Thailand can never be described as boring as is evidenced by the fact that it’s the most visited country in south East Asia. There’s something for everyone here. You can choose to explore its busy capital, Bangkok, where the quiet canal network and serene, decorative temples contrast with the frenetic atmosphere, hectic night life and packed street markets. Take the pace down a step in Chang Mai, where ancient sits easily with modern and over 300 temples cling to the stunning mountainous backdrop. Or stick with the tranquillity of trekking in the highlands or the mountains of the Golden Triangle.

East coast
Southern Thailand’s coast is lined with gorgeous white sand shores, aquamarine seas and kaleidoscopic reefs.
-
Golden Triangle
Stepping back in time to witness a way of life preserved for thousands of years is the reason many come to trek among the rich mountain scenery of the Golden Triangle.
-
West coast
Lush virgin rain forests, dramatic limestone crags and broad sweeping sands collectively make up the landscape of Thailand’s Andaman coast.
