Thailand
Thailand is one of Asia's easiest and most varied destinations. Bangkok dazzles with the Grand Palace, Wat Arun and floating markets, while Pattaya offers an easy beach escape close to the city.
In the south, Phuket and Krabi are gateways to limestone islands, turquoise water and day trips to Phi Phi. In the north, Chiang Mai is all temples, ethical elephant sanctuaries and mountain scenery. We combine them with internal flights to make the most of your time.
