Three times the trip

Cosmopolitan cities, jungle adventures and unbeatable beaches – Thailand offers luxury for every type of traveller

WHAT does a holiday mean to you? Are you a city slicker looking for the latest travel trends? Or perhaps you like to luxuriate in the blissful bohemia of a secret beach?

Choosing where to spend our precious time off is one of the most exciting decisions to make, but it can also mean compromising to keep everyone happy. That’s where Thailand is different. From the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the lush landscape of the North, and of course, the breathtaking idyll of the islands, this is paradise found – for everyone.

With Travelbag, you’ll be able to experience Thailand in all its glorious diversity – transforming a two-week trip into an experience-packed adventure that doesn’t skimp on the luxury.

OPULENT ADVENTURE

START your getaway memorably in Bangkok, where culture and hedonism unite to create one of the most intoxicating capitals in the world. You’ll get to grips with the famously generous Thai hospitality as soon as you arrive at your first stop, the Banyan Tree Bangkok. Standing proud above the city’s iconic skyline, this opulent hotel is the perfect base for discovering the city – and reviving your senses afterwards. Take in the epic views as you dine on expertly crafted dim sum or get into the holiday spirit with a massage in the exclusive spa or a dip in the outdoor pool as you plan the next step in your Thai adventure – the North. There you’ll discover the majesty of the mountainous province of Chiang Rai, a perfect place to enjoy a slower pace of life and home to the hilltop retreat of Anantara Golden Triangle. It’s a magical place where nature meets opulence, and you will feel instantly tranquil as you step foot into your colonial-style suite. With the help of your on-site hospitality manager, discover the wonders of the landscape on the back of your local guide: one of the resort’s proud elephants. After a fulfilling day of trekking, it’s time to shake off any aches and pains with a well deserved stint in the on-site spa, where you can round out an eventful day with a soak in a tub overlooking green hills before feasting like royalty over a gourmet alfresco meal, just one benefit of being all inclusive.

PARADISE PIT STOP

AFTER savouring the magnificence of Mother Nature, it's time to experience island life, Thai style. Your first paradise pit stop is Phuket, a land of feather-soft sand and turquoise waters. Relish the splendour of your home for four nights, the Banyan Tree Phuket – the epitome of relaxed elegance. There you can take a dip in your private pool, get the competitive juices flowing on the manicured 18-hole golf course or just simply sit and look at the ocean from your lounger. You may be heading towards the finale of your thrice-as-nice trip, but your last destination is a showstopper.

Sitting on the shores of the Andaman Sea, The Layana Resort and Spa in Koh Lanta is a haven of Thai hospitality where you can while away the rest of your break in a resort that has been created to make you remember that most sought-after feeling: contentment.

Revel, regroup and relax; you’ll discover that Thailand is a bucket list all of its own.
