Bangkok and Phuket Multi Centre Holiday

Bangkok is a city of contrasts. Of peaceful parks set within the frenetic streets. Of trendy new rooftop bars and ancient markets. Of mega malls and night markets. It’s the ideal place to immerse yourself in Thai culture, and the perfect place to begin any multi-centre holiday in Thailand.

Spend your days in Bangkok visiting the markets and mega malls. You can pick up everything from souvenirs and local handicrafts to discounts on designer labels and electrics. For a sense of the city’s culture, visit one of the many temples or the floating markets. Along the river you’ll find lively waterways full of boats, bursts of colour and many souvenirs. It’s the perfect place to practise your haggling skills.

Immerse yourself in the cosmopolitan side of Bangkok among its many rooftop bars and excellent restaurants. Taste everything from traditional Thai cuisine to Thai-American fusions as you take in the busy skyline of the city below.

Phuket is home to some of Thailand’s most beautiful landscapes. It’s well known for its many beaches – over 30 of them – but you’ll also find plenty of lively towns and markets to keep you occupied.

Spend long lazy days on the white sands in Phuket, soaking up the sun or wandering along these beautiful beaches. The waters here are crystal clear, with plenty of opportunities for snorkelling as well. See the many colourful varieties of fish below the surface, and book a scuba diving trip for a closer look. You can also see the dramatic limestone cliffs and emerald jungles which fringe the sands from a boat trip.

In the evenings you can explore a different town every night. Head to night markets and pick up local handicrafts, jewellery and clothing as you practise your haggling. There are some excellent restaurants here, serving traditional Thai dishes as well as exquisitely fresh seafood. Finish the night with a quiet cocktail overlooking the beach, or dance the night away at a livelier bar.
