With its diverse landscapes ranging from lush jungles to stunning beaches, Thailand promises the ultimate vacation experience for every type of traveler, especially those seeking relaxation at world-class Thailand resorts.

    Where is Thailand? And how do I get there?

    Entering Thailand is a journey into a world of wonder. Most travelers land in the pulsating heart of the country, Bangkok, or the beach paradise of Phuket. From there, Thailand unfolds in all its glory with well-connected domestic flights, scenic rail journeys and comprehensive bus networks. Getting to your Thailand resort is part of the experience. Journey through the enchanting route to Koh Samui, where a picturesque ferry ride complements a short flight to Surat Thani. The voyage to Khao Lak is a scenic drive from Phuket, revealing the serene beauty of Thailand's landscapes. For those heading to Surin Beach, the short tuk-tuk ride from Phuket is an adventure in itself, offering a glimpse into the local life.

    What activities are there in Thailand?

    Temple in Thailand

    Three great destinations in the Land of Smiles offer some of the most fun excursions in the world, from cultural heritage to culinary delights to (truly) breathtaking landscapes.

    Here are a few of our favorite things:

    Snorkeling in Koh Samui 

    Koh Samui is known for its vibrant marine life. Popular snorkeling spots include Coral Cove, Silver Beach and Chaweng Beach. Good for beginners, Coral Cove's reefs are close to the shore, offering a chance to see hundreds of fish species with colorful patterns. Silver Beach, known for its clear waters, allows visibility of small fish, while Chaweng Beach features small reefs and marine life like octopus and barracuda.

    Touring the temples 

    Each temple in Phuket is a doorway to Thailand's rich cultural and religious tapestry, offering a peaceful retreat and a glimpse into the country's soul. Tour Wat Chalong, the largest and most visited in Phuket, with its grand pagoda and intricate murals. See the Big Buddha that dominates Phuket's skyline, remarkable as a statue and a symbol of peace. And marvel at Wat Phra Thong, home to the famous half-buried Golden Buddha.

    Shopping in Surin Beach 

    Discover local designers and artists at The Plaza Surin, a haven for boutique shopping, style-savvy designers and local artist creations.

    Dancing under the stars 

    Dance the night away at one of the island's most vibrant party spots: Chaweng Beach. Known for its popular full-moon celebrations, day and night beach parties, clubs and Thai dance stages, this is the place to be if you want to be part of the action. The area's vibrant nightlife scene attracts a lively young crowd.

    Exploring National Parks (and waterfalls!)

    Trek through rainforests, discover hidden waterfalls and marvel at the panoramic views at Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park.

    Hanging out with elephants

    Visit Samui Elephant Haven or Phuket Elephant Sanctuary for a heartwarming experience with gentle giants. A magical must-visit, these rehabilitation and retirement home takes in troubled regional elephants, giving them a safe haven.

    Dining in Thai style 

    Thai cuisine is a journey of flavors. Explore local markets, take cooking classes and savor street food.

    Immersing yourself in the culture

    Thailand's rich history is reflected in its temples, museums and cultural sites. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness traditional Thai performances and festivals.
