Bangkok is a vibrant bustling mega-city of more than 10 million people, and yet it still has an undeniable charm. Visit the most beautiful ancient temples and pagodas in Thailand - the 150 foot long reclining Buddha at Wat Po is a must visit - alongside experiencing the delicious and varied street food. See the city from the water on a long-tail boat trip along the Chao Phraya River (including a peek into the more interesting looking tributaries) and shop in a mix of traditional markets and high-end cosmopolitan shopping centres. Bangkok holidays can also include visits other ancient royal cities of Ayutthaya or Sukhothai, and of course the capital is the place from which to hop down to Thailand's beautiful beaches and islands.

"Holly recommended that we stay in Luang Prabang rather than outside the town, and she was absolutely right! The whole trip was extremely well organised, and it was wonderful to know that everything was taken care of. We particularly loved our trek to the waterfalls."

What can you find on Bangkok holidays that you can't find elsewhere?

With more than 10 million inhabitants, Bangkok is an amazing city that teems with life. However, it is also full of small, green neighbourhoods and cultural beauty that any visitor must experience. See the Grand Palace with its towering golden stupas; visit Wat Pho and its gigantic reclining Buddha or head to Wat Phra Kaew to marvel at the Emerald Buddha. A must-do is experiencing the incredible floating markets from your own canoe, haggling for fresh ingredients to take to a cooking class where you’ll learn how to create traditional Thai dishes.


Who are Bangkok holidays best for?

Anybody who loves the excitement of exploring new cities will be in their element. Wind your way down the streets filled with exotic sights and smells and visit some of the city's iconic sights, from ancient to modern. Thailand in general is an intriguing destination for those interested in spiritual culture. Combine trips to temples galore, with a spot of wellness, meditation and city adventures, for an itinerary that combines the best of both worlds.


The best ways to experience Bangkok and its surrounding region

Most trips to Thailand start in Bangkok, but this shouldn’t be just a temporary stopover. From a central base, you can explore the best of the city on foot, or hop into a tuk tuk for a typical Thai tour. Bangkok can seem a little overwhelming on first glance, so we can organise expert-led tours so that you can have a bespoke experience that hits all of the highlights - with all of those pesky logistics taken care of, so that you can sit back and enjoy.
