Gleaming temples and golden Buddhas frame the landscapes in Thailand, serving as a stunning backdrop for tours of Bangkok noodle shacks and adventures along the luxurious coastline.
Thailand has a more tranquil past than its neighbours and has advanced more quickly than the rest of Southeast Asia. Visitors are, nevertheless, drawn to Thailand by its natural beauty, and the Thai people themselves leave the deepest effect. Theravada Buddhists make up the bulk of the population, and for most Thais, their religion affects every part of their lives, including their job and leisure time. The example set by the Thai Royal family, particularly the late King Rama IX (1927–2016), who was revered and adored across the Kingdom, has had a significant impact on daily life.
The best way to start a luxury vacation in Thailand is with a city break in the exhilarating capital, Bangkok. By exploring the city’s bustling markets and gold-tinted temples along its winding canals and taking in the breathtaking cityscape from top-notch rooftop bars and restaurants, you will get a true sense of this wonderful nation before visiting its other cities, exploring its stunning countryside, and travelling between its islands and their white sand beaches. Visit the southeast island of Koh Samui, the ultra-luxe and exclusive Six Senses Yao Noi, or the southwest coastal resort of Phuket for magnificent whiter-than-white tropical beaches and some of the greatest service in Asia. The notorious Full Moon Party originated on the backpacker island of Koh Pha Ngan, where you may find a hedonistic and rowdy party scene. For a hipper, younger feel and a slower paced beach scene, consider Koh Lanta.
The magnificent gilded temples and exotic khlongs (canals) of Bangkok, the forest hiking in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and the exploration of the historic cities of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai are all popular tourist destinations. Thailand is a fantastic all-around location that accommodates a variety of vacation styles because it provides something for everyone. While most luxury tours and family vacations to Thailand include the beaches and islands in the south, many of these trips do not include any of the country’s many national parks, including the oldest, Khao Yai National Park. We strongly advise including these on a luxury vacation of Thailand because they are home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, tigers, and hundreds of other bird species.
For the ultimate family adventure vacation, camp beneath the stars in a luxurious tent, hike through luxuriant forests dotted with centuries-old banyan trees, or raft on beautiful rivers. West of the southern peninsula, on the Andaman Coast, are exquisite quiet beaches with views of the Indian Ocean, colourful dive opportunities, and limestone rock formations. The beaches to the east of the peninsula are gently lapped by the brilliant, turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand, which are teeming with fish and coral. Thailand is home to many upscale beach resorts as well as some of the most enchanting and impeccably maintained luxury hotels in the world.
