Fascinating culture, history, and world-famous cuisine known for its bold, exotic flavours make Thailand one of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations. Most visitors will arrive in the capital city of Bangkok, a pulsating megacity with modern skyscrapers towering over glittering temples below. Whether sampling spicy street food or shopping in one of its many luxury malls and massive outdoor markets, Bangkok is truly a feast for the senses. In northern Thailand, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, the former capitals of the Lanna Kingdom, are the cradle of Thai culture. Discover opulent temples and historic ruins or trek through scenic hill country to discover ethnic minority villages. The south of Thailand boasts the tropical paradise retreats of Phuket and Koh Samui with their sun-kissed beaches and outer islands, surrounded by electric blue waters teeming with colourful sea life. The friendly Thai people with their legendary hospitality only serve to enhance the amazing Thailand experience which draws visitors back time and time again. Bangkok One of Asia’s most popular megalopolises, Bangkok offers a diverse range of sights and experiences, with something for everyone. Culture fiends will delight in the dazzling Royal Palace and the city’s countless pagodas, while shoppers could spend weeks sifting through Bangkok’s modern malls and traditional open-air markets. Entertainment in Bangkok ranges from thrilling Muay Thai bouts to highbrow classical Thai music concerts and everything in between. Dining options are equally varied. Whether you’re eating fine French cuisine in a plush hotel restaurant or sampling fried crickets on the side of the road, prepare to have all of your senses engaged. Chiangmai The former capital of the Lanna Kingdom in the 13th century, Chiang Mai today continues to serve as a cultural and administrative center of Northern Thailand. Though the metropolitan area of Chiang Mai has a population of more than a million, the historic center has a laid-back atmosphere more akin to a provincial town than a capital city. Beyond the Old City, vast green countryside and rainforests are ideal for trekking and exploring ethnic minority villages.
