Thailand offers travellers a captivating blend of ancient temples, vibrant cities and pristine beaches. Bangkok, the bustling capital, contrasts with the serene northern city of Chiang Mai, where visitors can explore traditional markets and ornate Buddhist temples. Nature enthusiasts will love the stunning limestone cliffs of Krabi and Phang Nga Bay, while the islands of Phuket and Koh Samui boast world-class beaches and diving spots. Thailand's cultural calendar features the water-soaked fun of Songkran (Thai New Year) in April and the magical floating lantern festival, Loy Krathong, typically held in November. The country's excellent transport network makes it an ideal base for exploring Southeast Asia, with ferry connections to neighbouring Malaysia and Cambodia. Thai cuisine, with its bold flavours and fresh ingredients, provides yet another compelling reason to visit this diverse and welcoming country.
Koh Samui, Thailand's second-largest island, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern amenities. The island is known for its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush mountainous rainforest. Visitors can explore the iconic 12-metre tall Big Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yai or visit the stunning Na Muang waterfalls. Chaweng Beach attracts tourists with its vibrant nightlife and shopping, while Lamai Beach offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Every April, the island celebrates Songkran (Thai New Year) with water fights and traditional ceremonies, and in October, hosts the colourful Loy Krathong festival. Koh Samui is mainly accessible by ferry from the mainland port of Donsak. Once on the island, travellers can easily take boats to nearby destinations like Koh Phangan, famous for its Full Moon Parties, or Koh Tao, known for its excellent diving spots. The island serves as a great base for exploring Thailand's beautiful Gulf islands.
