There’s more to a luxury holiday in Thailand than golden beaches and lively cities. It’s often the slower moments – pausing in a temple courtyard, discovering a dish at a street market, or unwinding in a remote hillside retreat – that are the most memorable. From its northern hills to southern islands, Thailand offers warm hospitality, rich heritage and outstanding places to stay – which is why so many travellers return, year after year.
The Best of Thailand
Bangkok is a city of contrast – grand palaces and centuries-old temples sit alongside lively markets and rooftop bars. Visit the Grand Palace, drift along the Chao Phraya by boat, or take a day to explore the ancient capital of Ayutthaya. To the west, Kanchanaburi offers a more reflective pace, home to the Bridge over the River Kwai and one of Thailand’s most moving WWII sites.
In the north, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai feel very different to the south – cooler in climate, slower in rhythm, and shaped by Lanna heritage and hill-tribe traditions. Chiang Mai’s temples, craft shops and boutique hotels invite a more grounded, introspective stay. From Chiang Rai, the landscapes open up towards the Golden Triangle, with chances to visit the Elephant Camp, explore local villages, or take in the meeting point of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar.
Further south, Phuket is Thailand’s most established island destination – offering luxury resorts, sandy beaches, golf, and great restaurants. Koh Samui has a slightly gentler feel, with stylish villas and palm-fringed shores. Krabi and Koh Phi Phi suit those drawn to nature and exploration – with emerald waters, limestone cliffs, and rewarding dive sites.
