Sights & Places

The Kingdom of Thailand is home to a varied range of exotic and exciting destinations ranging from the misty mountains of the north to secluded sandy beaches and emerald oceans of the south. An established metropolitan megacity, Bangkok sits centrally and blends the old with new as glittering temples, meandering canals and bustling markets merge with gleaming skyscrapers, fusion restaurants and luxury hotels. Chiang Mai has long been known as the ‘Rose of the North’, owing to its deep rooted cultural heritage. Located in a valley on the banks of the Ping River, the city is a subdued alternative to Bangkok and for many guests finds a special place in their heart. Thailand’s beaches deliver the idyllic characteristics often associated with a tropical paradise. Its southern coastline receives worldwide media attention, luring in visitors from all over to experience spectacular beaches in a welcoming and relaxed ambiance.

The best time to visit Thailand is from November to February when the weather is dry and the temperatures are not too hot. During these winter months, the temperatures in the far north can drop down to freezing during the evenings, so trekking and camping trips in these areas are not recommended. From March to June the heat returns with temperatures soaring to over 40 degrees Celsius during the day with minimal rain and low humidity. Thailand's rainy season begins toward the end of June and continues until October, generally consisting of a short but sharp downpour in the afternoon. The southern beaches are faced with two weather systems which bring the tropical rains at different times of the year, so it's possible to enjoy Thailand's beaches year-round. From January to September the east coast is sunny and dry, before moving to the west coast from October to April.
