About Thailand
From Bangkok's buzzing streets to the limestone coves of Phi Phi, Thailand brings culture, food and beach time together in one journey.
The moment you land in Thailand, the warm air, fragrant spices and friendly welcome draw you in. In Bangkok, the gilded Grand Palace, the giant reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and the boat traffic on the Chao Phraya River reveal both the sacred and the lively sides of the city in a single day.
Tour routes usually follow a few days in Bangkok with the Andaman Sea coast in the south. Based in Phuket or Krabi, you hop between islands by longtail boat, glide past the sheer rocks of Phang Nga Bay and snorkel in the clear waters of the Phi Phi Islands.
Thailand offers enjoyable choices across a wide range, from comfortable hotels to street food. At temples you are expected to cover shoulders and knees, remove your shoes and show respect for the royal family; light, pale clothing is best for the sun and humidity.
