Why Thailand
Islands and beaches
Two coastlines with different seasons: limestone cliffs on the Andaman Sea, and the Gulf islands around Koh Samui for the months when the west coast is wet.
Food
From noodle stalls in Bangkok’s Chinatown to khao soi in Chiang Mai, Thai cooking changes from region to region.
Warm hospitality
Thais are easy-going and welcoming. With our local guides, you get to meet them rather than just pass through.
