thailand
Thailand is easy to love. The food is wonderful, the welcome is warm and the hotels are some of the best in Asia.
We like to start in the north, among the temples of Chiang Mai and the hills of the Golden Triangle, then head south to the Andaman coast or the islands of the Gulf. Bangkok is worth a couple of nights for its river, markets and restaurants.
It suits honeymooners, families and anyone wanting a mix of culture and a proper beach break.
where to go
The Chao Phraya river, temples, markets and a brilliant food scene.
Old city temples, mountain monasteries and cooking classes.
Hills and rivers where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet.
Beaches, limestone islands and sea caves by longtail boat.
Cliff-backed beaches reached only by boat.
Palm-fringed island in the Gulf, good when the Andaman coast is rainy.
when to go
There's always a coast in good weather somewhere in Thailand.
November to April
The best time for the north and the Andaman coast around Phuket and Krabi.
January to August
Koh Samui and the Gulf are at their best while the west coast has its rains.
May to October
Short tropical showers, lush scenery and good value.
