Holidays to Thailand

There’s never a bad thai-me to visit the Land of Smiles. World-beating beaches, incredible culture, next-level partying and mouth-watering food are all coming right up on a holiday to Thailand!

Pure shores

Thailand has a LOT of beaches. The south of Thailand is a tropical heaven, with towering cliffs, palm-fringed beaches and unforgettable sunsets galore.

Check out the peaceful swathes of white sand on Koh Rok island or go for the full-on full moon partays in Koh Phangan. During the day, grab a snorkel and jump right into Phuket’s warm waters, or work towards a diving qualification – it’s crazy cheap to learn here!

Delicious dining

Pad Thai with juicy prawns, refreshing papaya salads, hot-hot green curries, fresh ripe mangos – yeah, we’re drooling too. Wherever you venture in Thailand, the food is divine and super budget-friendly, but Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Hua Hin go the extra culinary mile.

North Thailand does a good line in pork dishes, and down south, seafood and rice noodles are a big deal.

What wat?

There were 40,000-plus wats (temples) in Thailand at last count. You’ll stumble upon them everywhere, from hidden side-street temples to eye-catching constructions that dominate the surrounding landscape.

They stretch through time, from Chiang Mai’s 14th-century temple, Wat Chiang Man, to the modern artwork that is Wat Pha Sorn Kaew’s mountain compound, which was finished in 2004. Check out the 46m (151ft) reclining Buddha at Wat Pho, and get the Buddha’s life story in pictures at Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaew.

Party all night

Thailand throws a great party. From the famous full moon parties on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan to Bangkok’s legendary Khaosan Road, it’s easy to find places where the Singha beers are in full flow!

Phuket’s Bangla Road jumps with go-go bars, beach clubs, cabaret and live music. Or get dolled up in the capital city and hunt out a swanky rooftop bar like Sky Beach with its insane cocktails and 360-degree views of Bangkok.
