OVERVIEW
If you have always dreamed of visiting Thailand, why not venture on this once-in-a-lifetime holiday with your new spouse? Located in the southeast of Asia, this glorious country is brimming with opulence and tradition in the form of temples, palaces, and of course lush jungles that are ready to be explored. Thailand has so much to offer for all tastes – and its calm, serene surroundings mixed with magical cities is destined to add a touch of romance to your trip. If you truly wish to make the most of Thailand, we’d highly recommend you spend a couple of weeks here to witness and experience the full extent of its impressive culture.
You’ll find a melting pot of contrasting experiences in Thailand, from the vibrant non-stop city of Bangkok with its temples, Buddhas, floating markets and colourful nightlife; to the stunning beaches of Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Pattaya. Plus, if you want to escape the beaten track, look out for Thailand’s hidden gems and discover beautiful unspoilt areas.
If you’re a city-goer, you simply can’t visit Thailand without a trip to its bustling capital of Bangkok. In our opinion, there’s no city quite like it, thanks to its combination of state-of-the-art architecture and traditional Asian elements. While walking along the streets, you’ll be greeted by market stalls selling all kinds of wares, first-class Thai restaurants at every corner and not to mention high-end fashion boutiques if you wish to indulge in some retail therapy.
To enjoy the slower pace of Thai life, pay a visit to one of Thailand’s best-loved islands, Phuket. It is home to delightful white-sand beaches when you can soak up the sun – but heading into the main town, you’ll come across historic 19th-century buildings, national parks, and an abundance of nightlife and restaurants if you’re keen to join in the action.
Finally, if you’re looking to experience true Thai culture, we’d recommend you pay a visit to the city of Chiang Mai. Located on the northern edge of the country, it was once the residence to the Lanna Kingdom and boasts an impressive selection of towering temples. One of the most famous temples here is the stunning gold-plated Wat Phra That Doi Suthep which stands at an astonishing 24 metres tall.
