1. Be pampered in Phuket .
Thailand's largest and most popular island is a tourist mecca with 40km of gorgeous beaches, diverse accommodation, sumptuous seafood, great nightlife and architecture.
2. Throw yourself into Bangkok
Vibrant, colourful, exciting, mysterious and cosmopolitan all in one, this bustling city of 10 million people is full of exotic encounters, enviable shopping and to-die-for massages.
3. Enjoy homestay hospitality
A unique and charming way to understand and participate in local Thai life is to experience a homestay with a village family. You may even get to enjoy a traditional khan toke dinner!
4. Let Chiang Mai amaze you
This 700-year-old city is Northern Thailand's most culturally significant. Explore centuries-old temples, attend an elephant training camp, enrol in a Thai cooking class or party at a festival.
5. Kanoodle on Koh Samui
A favourite for honeymooners seeking all the essentials of a tropical island retreat. Once- isolated Koh Samui is now one of Thailand's most popular holiday spots.
6. Barter at the markets

7. Enjoy Hua Hin's serenity
Just 280km south of Bangkok, picture-perfect Hua Hin Beach was the first to gain popularity among the Thai people. It combines modern attractions with the charm of a fi shing port.
8. Take to Thailand's waterways
Cruise down the Chao Praya River in Bangkok on a longboat, see the infamous Bridge over the River Kwai, white-water raft on the Pai River or have an Andaman Sea adventure.
9. Visit Krabi and Koh Lanta
Teeming with natural attractions, Krabi is most famous for its towering limestone cliffs. Close by, Koh Lanta's low-key development and untouched nature makes it a wonderful island escape.
10. Revel in history and culture
Thailand's cultural origins date back to ancient India, the legacy of which is the strong influence of Buddhist traditions. Temples are everywhere: in Bangkok alone, there are more than 400!
