Thailand Travel Guide: Explore Cities & Culture

Thailand has been a firm favourite for holiday makers now for decades, winning over the hearts and souls of the world with its paradisiac beaches, framed coves concealing turquoise waters, enthralling culture - colourful and inviting and the exquisite temples dotted all over the country. To fully experience Thailand we recommend a minimum of 1 - 2 weeks - though if you can spare more time, then you’ll find that there is always something to do there. Beginning your holiday to Thailand in Bangkok can sometimes be daunting, but it’s a good way to immerse yourself into the culture. Be enthralled by the Golden Temple and the intriguing Wat Prayoon, take a stroll through China Town and the elegant Rose Garden and the Jim Thompson House museum, or take a day trip to Kanchanaburi and see the Death Railway and museum, Donrak War Cemetary and the Bridge on the River Kwai.
