Thailand holidays

From the temples and street food to the pristine beaches and luxury hotels, you've got every excuse for a holiday to Thailand.

The land of smiles

Thailand is known as the land of smiles, thanks to the welcoming nature of the Thai people. But there’s so much more to the country than friendly faces. In fact, it’s impossible to sum up Thailand in a nutshell, because every part is different. At the heart of everything, you’ve got shrines, temples, and monasteries known as ‘wats’, while there are 150 kilometres’ worth of beaches in the Krabi province alone.

Bangkok

Mixed in with the religious landmarks is one of the world’s most hectic capitals. Bangkok is a strobe-like city, where motorways have 12 lanes, markets have upward of 15,000 stalls, and restaurants are so concentrated, you’ll never be more than 50 metres away from one.

Beaches and islands

Then there’s the coast. In the Krabi province alone, there are 150 kilometres’ worth of beaches, many of which are backed by photogenic rock formations. In the Khao Lak area, the sands get swallowed up by national parks a few hundred metres from the shoreline. In Phuket, meanwhile, there’s a real mix. While the crowdless beaches in Mai Khao let you live incognito for a while, the ones in Patong invite you to a permanent party.

Multi-Destination holidays to Thailand

Settling on just one spot is no easy feat in this kaleidoscopic country. That’s why we’ve rolled out a selection of Multi-Destination holidays, which let you tick off two or more places in one trip. They pair up Bangkok with beach resorts, like Phuket and Khao Lak. Our Multi-Centre tours, meanwhile, cover off even more, from traditional Chiang Mai in the north to the picturesque Phi Phi Islands in the south. Just so you know, some of the beaches in southern Thailand have occasional rip currents, and jellyfish are common in this part of the country – don't worry, though, the local officials may temporarily close the beaches if there are any concerns.
