Paradise Found

Temples, spas and unrivalled luxury: Thailand offers it all To The discerning explorer

-

From gilded shrines to towering glass skyscraper­s, sprawling mangrove forests to mega metropolis­es, Thailand’s beguiling contradict­ions have captured the imaginatio­ns of intrepid explorers for centuries. A crucible of culture and commerce, to experience the country is to step back into history while at the same time living on the cutting edge of tomorrow.

There is an adventure waiting for every type of discerning traveller – from an electric culinary and nightlife scene for the urban globetrott­er, awe-inspiring temples and monuments to appease the culturalis­t, unspoiled forests and coastlines beckon the adventurou­s spirit, and quiet sanctuarie­s where mindfulnes­s and meditation offer an escape from the world.

At a time where the return to travel has become the ultimate luxury, Thailand offers an experience as unique as it is unforgetta­ble: a journey to paradise. amazing Thailand south africa facebook.com/ amazing thailand in south africa
