Six places most Thailand trips are built around. Each guide covers where to stay, how to get there and when to go, then links straight to the hotels, tours, transfers and packages we sell in that city.
Capital of Thailand · Chao Phraya River delta
Bangkok is Thailand's capital and its main international gateway. Most visitors arrive at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK) and spend two to four nights here before heading to the beaches or the north.

Chonburi Province · Gulf of Thailand
Pattaya sits on the eastern Gulf of Thailand, about 150 km south-east of Bangkok. It is the closest beach resort to the capital — roughly two hours by road from Suvarnabhumi Airport — which makes it the usual first stop for short Thailand trips.

Phuket Province · Andaman Sea
Phuket is Thailand's largest island, joined to the mainland by a bridge and served by its own international airport (HKT) in the north. The west coast is a chain of beaches, each with its own character.
Phi Phi IslandsPhang Nga BayBig BuddhaOld Town
Northern Thailand · Lanna heartland
Chiang Mai is the cultural capital of northern Thailand, about 700 km north of Bangkok and an hour's flight away. The city is compact: a moated Old City with more than thirty temples, surrounded by newer districts.

Krabi Province · Andaman coast
Krabi is the mainland province across Phang Nga Bay from Phuket, known for limestone cliffs rising straight out of the sea. Ao Nang is the main beach town; Railay, reachable only by longtail boat, is the postcard peninsula with climbing and caves.
