Our experts are on-hand to customise your perfect Thailand summer holiday. Here are just a few experiences you might enjoy as part of your tailor-made itinerary:
Explore Chiang Mai’s ancient temples
If you’re interested in Thai history and culture, a visit to Chiang Mai is a must. The city boasts over 300 temples, some of which have been standing since the 13th century. If you’re keen to learn about Buddhism on your Thailand summer holiday, some temples offer daily monk chats where monks practise their English by giving tourists the chance to ask questions about their fascinating religion.
Escape the crowds on Laem Tong beach
When you picture the famous Phi Phi islands, you’re probably thinking of Maya Bay, a stunning white sand beach with limestone cliffs and wooden longboats. While this beautiful beach is well worth a visit, its fame means that it’s usually packed with tourists trying to get that iconic shot. If you’re looking for a more relaxing Thailand summer holiday, take a water-taxi to Laem Tong Beach, a secluded alternative on the northern side of Phi Phi Don island.
Hike through the jungle in Khao Yai National Park
In the summer months, the weather starts to cool slightly, making a Thai summer holiday the perfect opportunity to go hiking. Khao Yai National Park, a few hours’ drive from the capital of Bangkok, has more than 31 miles of hiking trails and is home to an impressive array of wildlife including macaques, gibbons, civets and barking deer. If you’re lucky, you might even spot an Asian elephant.
