Exclusive trips in Thailand
With over 190 countries in the world to choose from, Thailand is certainly a wonderful destination that offers untold opportunities for discovery. The country is renowned for its magnificent temples, friendly people, mouth-watering and flavoursome dishes, and of course, the lively and happening Bangkok. But not many know that Thailand has so much more to offer than just Bangkok. The topography of the country varies from high mountains in the north to the limestone tropical islands in the far south, which are part of the Malaysian archipelago of the islands of the Andaman Sea: to the north lie wild, lush forests, dense, luxuriant jungles along the coast and, to the south, the sea with white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters. A land that in just one trip inspires visitors with its stark contrasts and incredible scenery, that changes from region to region. All 4 regions across the country also host numerous mesmerising, luxurious and exclusive destinations that will definitely amaze you. Chiang Rai, the northernmost province of the Kingdom, is home to the famous ‘Golden Triangle', the area where the borders of three countries, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, meet. After enjoying this laid-back city and getting a glimpse of neighbouring countries across Mekong River, don't forget to visit two of the most marvellous temples in the country, Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) and Wat Rong Suea Ten (The Blue Temple). The first is almost entirely white and decorated with small mirrors, leaving an unforgettable and incredible impression on both locals and travellers alike, while the second is more modern and monumental, and distinguished by a vivid blue colour and elaborate engravings. After a whole day of exploring, an ideal place for relaxing and regenerating is the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. Surrounded by magical bamboo forests, it is the
perfect place to escape. It offers unique excursions, that include interaction with elephants, exploring spectacular mountain paths or simply relaxing in glamorous tents, inspired by the lifestyle of nineteenthcentury explorers. Moving a bit further south, it is worth making a brief stop in Chaiyaphum, a province in Isaan, the north-eastern region of Thailand. It is famous for its annual Siam Tulip festival, which is something that should never be missed! The sight of fields of wild Siam Tulips in full bloom is absolutely stunning and this kind of natural attraction is wonder to enjoy and admire. On your way back from the flower fields, you might like to stay at the Muthi Maya Forest Pool Villa Resort, to experience nature first-hand and enjoy the magnificent view of Khao Yai National park directly from the resort's villas with private pools. Our next destination, Pattaya, is a charming city in Chonburi province in the central region. Only 2 hours' drive away from Bangkok, Pattaya is without doubt one of the most visited tourist spots in the country. In addition to long beaches along the Gulf of Thailand and delicious, affordable seafood, the city is also famous for its golf courses, such as the Siam Country Club. Not only is this Asia's finest golf course, it is also Thailand's largest golf complex which has hosted the LPGA tournament multiple times. The white sand, the sea, the excellent food and world-renowned golf courses make Pattaya a special place. Travelling down to the southern part of Thailand, you arrive at the gem of the Andaman Sea, Phuket Island. Phuket earned the title of ‘Pearl of the Andaman Sea' due to its absolutely stunning white sandy beaches and clear emerald green water. From here, you can hop on a private yacht to the Phi Phi Islands. On board you'll enjoy an extensive menu of drinks and local seafood, while gentle sea breezes caress you as you watch the sunset. These four unique and exclusive regions ensure that the Land of Smiles holds a special place in the heart of every traveller, leaving fond memories that last forever.
