Thailand’s nickname, ‘The Land of Smiles’ is well-deserved, not only for the welcome you’ll receive but for the feeling you get throughout your Thailand holidays. With so much to experience, the best trips give you a taste of it all, from history to beaches, national parks to fascinating traditions, all served with a side of Pad Thai.
Explore bustling Bangkok, where ‘hectic’ just about scratches the surface. Marvel at the Grand Palace, with its gilded temples and gleaming emerald Buddha, and the majestic reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Snaking through the city is the Chao Phraya River - a laid-back cruise is perfect to unwind. Within day-tripping distance is former capital Ayutthaya, with its ancient temples, and Kanchanaburi, where you'll find moving memorials to the ‘Death Railway’ and bridge over the River Kwai.
See a different side of Thailand in Chiang Mai, its own city streets and temples surrounded by rice paddies and hill tribes whose traditional way of life has endured for centuries. Or discover elephants in one of the national parks, before hiking through lush rainforest to hidden waterfalls. Want soft white sand between your toes and warm aqua sea lapping at the shore? You’ll be spoiled for choice at Thailand’s islands. We defy you not to smile.

What our experts love about Thailand
There is something so intoxicating about Thailand - and no matter how many times I visit, I still discover something new, eat something divine and meet wonderful, welcoming people. From pristine beaches to buzzing Bangkok, Thailand is a must for those seeking an Asian adventure.
What are the best places to visit in Thailand?
Start your Thailand holidays with the vibrant buzz of Bangkok, before discovering more history at Ayutthaya, Kanchanaburi and second city Chiang Mai in its hillside setting, as well as national parks which are home to elephants, and beaches galore.
Bangkok
Bangkok’s sensory overload is an experience to be embraced, as you discover its unique mix of modern life and historic sites on our Thailand tours. Home to some of the country’s finest Buddhist architecture, including the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, the temple housing the Emerald Buddha, plus Wat Pho, with its huge 46m golden reclining Buddha. Plunge into the unforgettable colours and chaos of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, or escape on a more tranquil boat ride along the Chao Phraya river. Don’t miss browsing the night markets and trying some fabulous street food too.

Kanchanaburi
It’s not Kanchanaburi itself which draws most visitors to the town, but the fact it’s the location of the Bridge over the River Kwai, part of Thailand’s notorious Death Railway constructed by Allied prisoners during the Second World War. As well as visiting the bridge itself, there are various museums acting as memorials to life during this wartime period. During your visit, save time to discover the 1920s and 30s buildings along Heritage Walking Street, the nearby cave temple of Wat Ban Tham where you walk through a dragon’s mouth to enter, and the waterfalls of Erawan National Park.

Grand Palace
This sprawling complex of buildings in the heart of Bangkok was the official residence of the Kings of Siam since 1782 until 1925, with buildings set around open squares. Still partly used for royal offices, some areas are open to the public as a museum, including Wat Phra Kaew, the temple of the Emerald Buddha. You can also explore the Grand Palace Hall, or Chakri Maha Prasat with its ornate tiered spire, as well as seeing the Dusit Hall, where royal audiences once took place. Expect bright colours, lavish decoration and to spend several hours looking around.

Bridge over River Kwai
One of the darkest chapters of recent history is remembered at the Bridge over the River Kwai, part of the Thailand-Burma railway built during the Second World War. Better known as the Death Railway for the conditions endured by Allied prisoners of war forced to create the 300m bridge, sections were later destroyed during bombing but the curved spans are original. The nearby park contains three old trains dating from the war, plus there’s a shrine to visit; the peaceful Kuan-Im shrine, with its striking Chinese Soldier Tomb, a pair of eyes peering out from under a helmet.
