Thailand tours & holidays

It’s impossible to summarise Thailand in just one word, but its nickname, ‘The Land of Smiles’, is a pretty accurate indicator of the feeling you get when you’re there – and it’s that feeling that will stay with you long after your trip is over.

It’s soft white sand between your toes and warm aqua sea lapping at the shore. It’s soaring skyscrapers and peaceful temples. Rural rice paddies. Charmingly chaotic long-tail boat rides. Jungle-topped islands. And it’s all tossed together and served with a side of fried rice.

Explore bustling Bangkok, where ‘hectic’ just about scratches the surface. You can visit the impressive Grand Palace and reclining Buddha, or venture out to a floating market or the infamous ‘Death Railway’. Perhaps get back to nature in Khao Yai National Park, where forest treks are interspersed with relaxation on the deck of your premium en-suite tent. The island idylls of Phuket and Koh Samui, meanwhile, are perfect for island-hopping, beachy walks and even meeting the locals for lunch in a family home.
