Bangkok
A city that buzzes with the life of 8 million people, it’s the perfect place to start exposing yourself to how Thailand is, with the cultural temples within foot’s reach, and the city’s creature comforts too. Many hotel brands can be found within city limits, so beginning here is also convenient for the early traveller.
Chiang Mai
The mountains of Chiang Mai are shrouded in mist as it is in history. The area shows a different side to Thailand than what you would see normally and is a good way to see the wildernesses that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Properties such as Minor Hotels are a good resource to use when taking a tour through these scenic areas, so try to keep them in mind.
Ayutthaya
Set in the ruin of the kingdom of Siam, the ancient city of Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand back in the 14th century. Today, the kingdom has arranged tours for glimpses into the glorious past. Home to ancient towers, statues, and more, it’s a great addition to any history buff’s travel plan.
Koh Samui
There’s no list of Thailand’s highlights that would be complete without mentioning Koh Samui. Hosting some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, fringed by the palm trees swaying in the wind. In addition to the beautiful environment, there are also rainforests and a spa or two. Make sure to leave a couple of days to unwind at this iconic spot!
