THAILAND TRAVEL

With its perfect mix of traditional Thai life and modern infrastructure, Thailand is an ideal place for a holiday.  Travelers find themselves returning again and again to visit new wonders and to rediscover old favorites in this immensely diverse country.  

The country’s capital, Bangkok, is a contrast in old and new, traditional and modern.  Travel by local longtail boat or use the city’s modern SkyTrain to discover the main sites and hidden gems.  As the sun begins to set, head to one of Bangkok’s fantastic restaurants for traditional Thai cuisine, shop at one of the numerous evening markets, or check out the city’s buzzing nightlife.  

Just a short distance from the excitement of Bangkok, Central Thailand is home to some of the country’s most historically and culturally rich destinations. Step back in time to the era of ancient kingdoms with a visit to Ayutthaya or explore the infamous River Kwai and Death Railway in Kanchanaburi.  Central Thailand is also rich in natural wonders which can be uncovered at Erawan Waterfalls, Khao Yai National Park, or the River Kwai area.  

The northeastern region is where the borders of Cambodia, Laos and Thailand meet and these three cultures merge in to a fascinating blend of Southeast Asian lifestyles.  Collectively known as Isaan, this area hosts a wealth of temples and culturally rich towns.  

The city of Chiang Mai is often referred to as the ‘Rose of the North’ due to its captivating culture and natural beauty.  Ancient temples, local artisan shops, and busy markets fill the city center while mountains, hills, and streams lie on its outskirts.  After exploring the city’s wonders, travelers often head toward Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle for further cultural exploration.  Or, active travelers head to the peaks of Mae Hong Son for fabulous treks and hilltribe exploration.  

While Thailand’s northern and central areas are known for their cultural and historical sites, mention the words ‘Southern Thailand’ and images of beautiful beaches come to mind.  Only two hours from the capital are the resort towns of Hua Hin and Cha-am whose tranquil beaches beckon those seeking a quick get-away.  Further south, Thailand stretches in to a narrow peninsula flanked by pristine islands.  On the east coast lie the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Phan Ngan while the west coast boasts of stunning beaches such as Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Phi Phi.  Whether seeking a remote and secluded beach or a more lively resort area, Thailand’s beaches have something for everyone.  

From the remote north to the far south, Thailand travel is a rewarding experience with a treasure trove of wonders waiting to be discovered.  With three offices in Thailand staffed with a team of experts, Exotissimo can plan the perfect holiday for you.
