Thailand

Welcome to Thailand

Thailand is a destination to get very excited about!

The box office hit film The Beach starring Leonardo Dicaprio explores the countries backpacking phenomenon and the magical search for exotic paradise in South East Asia.

In the south and east of Thailand you will find idyllic islands splashed with beachside bungalows and affordable restaurants looking out to sea against a backdrop of palm and coconut trees. Beautiful islands such as Ko Samet and Ko Chang are on the coast that stretches all the way from Bangkok eastwards down to Cambodia.

Directly to the south the land mass of Thailand narrows to a thin strip of territory squeezed between the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. From Phuket you can access the enchanting and infamous James Bond Islands which offer superb coral reefs and small relatively unknown islands that welcome visitors with a friendly smile.

In the North of Thailand there is a very different appeal. Comfortable towns like Chang Mai and Chang Rai serve as rest and recreation centres as well as filtering the streams of curious visitors who come to explore the rich local cultures on treks and elephant rides into the steep tropical countryside.

Bangkok lies at the very heart of Thailand. A busy global city that welcomes modernity and tradition in such a way that one may simply stand in astonishment at the sights that you encounter while passing through this hub of South East Asia, whether it be for the first or tenth time. Bangkok is another unique experience to the rest of Thailand that opens it arms to visitors with a welcoming smile.
