The cradle of the gap year, Thailand has long been considered the backpacker destination. And it’s not hard to see why. From Bangkok’s frenetic streets where the familiar and exotic collide like a spicy Tom Yum Goong to its boho beaches and idyllic islands that serve as the cities’ peaceful antidote, Thailand is as beguiling as it gets. But just because your years of full moon parties and florescent face paint are behind you doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a slice of Thailand solo travel. Eat your way round Chiang Mai’s night markets, sampling plates of oyster omelettes, Thai toast and silky soups as you go.
Spend days in its walled centre, wandering from wat to wat, before being whisked north to Chiang Rai for a few days in a luxurious wilderness hideaway. Join Lahu locals for family dinners, get your hands dirty at Elephant Valley Sanctuary and chase sunsets up hills that boast honey-hued views of the Mekong River. In fact, we can’t think of a better place to get back to basics with yourself.

We had a great time. Everything went well and according to the plan. The hotels were all outstanding and in Samui we got a free upgrade to one of their residences with a private pool - what an experience.
