Thailand is a sprawling country that encompasses many diverse landscapes, all of which are home to their own specific treasures. A selection of areas will bring up the following as destinations of the purest beauty and a true taste of Thailand.

Bangkok
The capital city of Bangkok is a seductive throng of sounds, smells and sights: from temples to street-food, this is a dream-like environment of noise and splendour where cultural heritage collides with modern aspirations. This is a city of pleasure and total gratification is never out of reach. Travellers can be led from sumptuous day-spas to exquisite epicentre of gastronomic delight within the blink of an eye, at the highest level of luxury and indulgence.

Chiang Mai
For the perfect symbol of how Thailand’s diverse cultures have met with the realities of modern-day life, look no further than Chiang Mai. This ancient walled city is a gorgeous juxtaposition of tranquil heritage and a frenetic pulse of avant-garde design, where crimson-robed holy men walk in dusty tracks beside the chic elite.

Hua Hin
Hua Hin is a serene escape from the maddening bustle of humanity: powdery bone-white beaches tickle the gentle cerulean waters, lightly whipped by a balmy breeze. This affluent pleasure zone is equipped with championship golf courses, world-class spas, exquisite boutiques and luxurious hotels which have helped to make Hua Hin a chic seaside retreat.

Koh Phi Phi
Rising from the emerald waters like twin spikes, the islands of Koh Phi Phi are a heart-stopping vision of pure, unadulterated beauty. Limestone cliffs tower above the thriving reefs teeming with diverse marine life, and the diamond-white beaches are silky beneath bare feet. This is the perfect sanctuary for eco-friendly travellers looking to sink deep within the lush Thai atmosphere.

Koh Samui
Koh Samui is Thailand’s third largest island and home to the notorious Full Moon celebrations, among other things. In the last few years it has grown into a sophisticated retreat of private resorts equipped with mix of tantalizing amenities. Secluded idylls are not hard to find, though this area is known for it flamboyantly indulgent reputation.

Krabi
Outdoor enthusiasts need look no further than the active island of Krabi. Offering water sports of all kinds, mountain-climbing and a thriving nightlife, Krabi is a pulsing location with gorgeous landscapes of sugar-sand beaches backed by astonishing cliff faces.

Phuket
Phuket is the undisputed pearl of Thailand, with its azure waters and lush jungles that sprawl onto pristine beaches of bone-white sand. With its unique Sino-Portugese architecture dating from its period of colonization, Phuket is the perfect escape into an indulgent and relatively unspoiled tropical paradise.
