Thailand Regions

A luxury honeymoon in Thailand offers the perfect blend of discovery and adventure, twinned with warm and welcoming beach resorts.

The Land of Smiles is the perfect blend of discovery and adventure for your family holiday, combined with warm and welcoming beach resorts that will appeal to any of your little ones, no matter what their age.

Bangkok is emerging as one of the most exciting and stylish cities in Asia. The ‘City of Angels’ offers world class shopping, a huge array of fine dining experiences and some of Asia’s most fashionable night life.

Chiang Mai may be one of Thailand’s largest cities, but it still feels more like a peaceful old town. Its historic heart is wrapped in ancient moats and filled with centuries-old temples, traditional teakwood houses and serene garden courtyards. Head out for white-water rafting adventures, jungle treks through untouched rainforest, ethical elephant encounters in responsible sanctuaries, and meaningful visits to hill tribe communities who welcome guests into their world. Travel further north still, and you’ll reach the legendary Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet at the mighty Mekong River.

If you're after an easy beach escape from Bangkok, Koh Samed is a standout choice. Just a two-hour drive and a short ferry ride from the capital, this laid-back island is ideal for those who’d rather skip internal flights but still want white sand, turquoise sea, and a slice of paradise. Less developed than many southern islands, Koh Samed has a more untouched feel, with gorgeous beaches and national parkland blanketed in jungle. Hua Hin and nearby Pranburi are also popular options, especially for golfers and anyone keen to stay on the mainland.

Koh Kood is a relatively large island in the east of the Gulf of Thailand close to Cambodia. Despite its size Koh Kood is wonderfully undeveloped compared with well know islands like Koh Samui and Phuket and has pristine deserted beaches and an interior still covered by thick rainforest offering a natural island escape. Neighbouring Koh Mak is tiny in comparison with a off-the-beaten track, quiet hideaway vibe.

Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s most accessible islands and is just a short flight from Bangkok and other Asian hubs such as Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. It has a huge choice of accommodation and plenty to do, however it is smaller, quieter and less developed than Phuket with more of a laidback island ambiance.

Famed for its strikingly rugged karst coastline Krabi is what many people imagine the picture perfect Thai beach escape to be. It is easily accessible from Bangkok or other Asian hubs thanks to its own airport and is well placed for exploring beautiful Phang Nga Bay.

The beautiful Andaman Coast is home to some of Thailand's most well known and loved beach destinations, including Phuket, Thailand’s largest island. It is well developed thanks to its alluring coves and bays, tropical islets and of course the stunning beaches. Crossing to the mainland by bridge from Phuket, a scenic hour and a half drive takes you to the peaceful beach resort of Khao Lak. Whilst not quite as developed as Phuket, Khao Lak still has plenty to see and do combined with beautiful scenery and lovely, pristine beaches. The picturesque Khao Sok National Park is not far away for elephant trekking and white water rafting while offshore the beautiful Similan Islands offer some of Thailand's best snorkelling and diving making for a wonderful day trip.

Kanchanaburi province can be visited on a day trip from Bangkok but is well worth extending for a few days exploration. Along with the fascinating history of the Thai-Burma railway construction of the River Kwai Bridge there is a wealth of nature-based activities can also be enjoyed – including mountain biking, trekking, canoeing, bamboo rafting, longtail boat rides to a traditional village and visits to a local temple.
