Bangkok
Bangkok is one of Southeast Asia’s most famous cities. Home to grand palaces, golden temples and intrinsic shrines, the city is a haven for culture lovers. However, culture buff or not, any visitor will find a trip to the spectacular Grand Palace or the beautiful Emerald Buddha temple an enchanting experience. There’s also the famous Wat Arun temple to visit, which sits by the city’s Chao Phraya River and features a seventy metre glass spire.
A visit to Bangkok’s famous Khao San Road is another must. In the day, barter for clothing and gifts at the street stalls that line the road. In the evening, the road comes alive with energy and you’ll be awakened with bright lights and loud music. Khao San Road offers a great chance to sample some of Thailand’s famous street food, and you can grab a fresh and delicious Pad Thai for next to nothing.
For party lovers, Khao San Road is the place to be. It’s home to lots of late night bars and clubs that thump music until the early hours of the morning.
Koh Samui
From the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, you’ll travel to the peaceful and beautiful island of Koh Samui in the South of Thailand. We recommend spending seven nights or more to make the most of your island getaway and to fully relax and unwind on the pale sand beaches.
An island full of versatility, a holiday to Koh Samui can be whatever you want it to be. Spend your days relaxing on the caster sugar white sand beaches with a fruity cocktail in hand or explore all the island has to offer on action packed excursions.
Like Bangkok, there are plenty of beautiful temples to visit in Koh Samui, including the stunning Wat Khunaram. Wildlife lovers may enjoy a trip to the local elephant sanctuary, where the elephants have been rescued from horrible conditions, such as life in the tourism or logging industry.
