THAILAND

"AMAZING THAILAND"

Thailand , the Land of Smiles where the blend of culture , breathtaking scenic beauty and tranquillity has cast a spell on travellers for centuries

The diversity within Thailand ensures that a holiday there is full of suprises, lush tropical forests, magnificent beaches, historical sites, wide rivers wandering through National Parks and the dynamic, fats moving, modern metropolis of Bangkok.

Whichever direction you go, whatever form of beauty or adventure you seek, you will find something in this amazing kingdom to captivate and charm you.

BANGKOK

Modernity meets tradition in this vibrant city, often referred to as the “Venice of The East” as much of the lifeblood of the city is centred on the Cho Phraya River and the klongs (canals) that radiate from it connecting the heart of the city with farms, markets and temples. Viewing the city from the water gives another perspective to life in Bangkok so a boat trip is an essential item on any tourists itinerary.

This unique blend of old and new is relevant to so many activities in Bangkok, shopping with some of the smartest boutiques in the world coexisting with markets  and busting night bazars, fine dining with renowned celebrity chefs, side by side with street food stalls many owned by the same family for decades their cooks equally renowned in the local market. The trendsetting roof bars in Bangkok are some of the best in the world from there one can view some of the most beautiful temples illuminated at night showing their golden stupas and mammoth buddhas.

The traffic is often commented on as gridlock is frequent but the Tuk tuks somehow manage to navigate their way around it ,so a tour with one of them is an experience but not for the faint hearted. The train system in Bangkok allows one to move around quickly and efficiently.

Yes , it is a very big bustling city but visit to one of the many temples brings for a serene moment.


PHUKET

Phuket is Thailand’s largest island province and the main tourist area in southern Thailand. The Beaches are the major drawcard but also the shopping, cuisine and entertainment make it a haven for those looking for things to do both during the day and at night while they are on holiday.

Phuket can also be an amazing adventure land for a family as some of the family focused resorts offer so many options for entertaining the children that they never want to leave.
