Asia · Destination guide
Asia’s great all-rounder.
Thailand remains Asia’s great all-rounder: limestone bays and jungle temples, street food that outclasses most restaurants, and a warmth of welcome that keeps travellers returning for decades.
Where to go
Temples at dawn, rooftop bars at dusk and the best street food city on earth.
The family workhorses: big beach resorts, kids’ clubs and easy day trips.
Dry when the Andaman is wet — the smart summer-holiday choice.
Hill temples, ethical elephant sanctuaries and cooler mountain air.
The limestone postcard — longtails, lagoons and Railay’s famous cliffs.
Seasons
The cool, dry season and classic time to visit — perfect beach weather on the Andaman coast and comfortable city sightseeing.
Hot season. Fine for beach-focused trips; Songkran (Thai New Year, mid-April) turns the country into the world’s biggest water fight.
Green season on the Andaman side, but the Gulf islands (Samui, Phangan) stay largely dry — we simply route you east.
Things to experience
Feed and walk with rescued elephants at accredited sanctuaries near Chiang Mai.
Guided night-market crawls from Bangkok’s Chinatown to Chiang Mai’s walking streets.
Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon and Bamboo Island before the crowds arrive.
Market shopping, then curry pastes from scratch — the souvenir that lasts.
Wat Pho’s reclining Buddha and dawn alms rounds with saffron-robed monks.
Ringside seats at Bangkok’s stadiums for Thailand’s national sport.
Know before you go
Cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes, and never point your feet at a Buddha image. The head is sacred, the feet are not — it shapes much of Thai body language.
Greet with a small bow over pressed palms, and remember sanuk — the Thai principle that everything, even work, should carry some joy. Smiling back is mandatory.
Where to stay
Phuket and Khao Lak lead Asia for pools, kids’ clubs and value.
Private plunge pools at prices that surprise Maldives regulars.
Design-led riverside stays in Bangkok for the city leg.
