Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, is ideal for island-hopping by longtail boat, each limestone cliff revealing secret coves and the dazzling Phi Phi Islands. In Bangkok, the country’s energetic capital, tuk-tuks zip past gold-covered temples and giant Buddhas lining the calm Chao Phraya River.

  • “For a welcomed break from the overcrowded temples of Bangkok, take a day trip to the magnificent temple ruins of Ayutthaya. As the Kingdom of Thailand's former capital until the 18th century, the city has an impressive collection of temples and ruins that allude to its past splendour. Make sure you visit the Ayothaya floating market to fully immerse yourself in the local life.”

  • “Thai street food is world-renowned... and for good reason! Try a variety of dishes from local street kitchens in cities like Bangkok or Chiang Mai, where food stalls are open late into the night. Vendors are often skilled in their craft and watching them prepare your food is all part of the fun. I can’t go past Khao niao mamuang (mango with sticky rice).”
