Thailand

This welcoming kingdom lures visitors with smiles as golden as its glistening temples; with colourful hill tribes and rich culture; with dense rainforests and abundant wildlife; with traditional fishing villages and exuberant cities of high rises and neon lights; and with jungle-topped islands and gorgeous beaches anchored in azure seas. With so many contrasting destinations, a multi-centre holiday is just the recipe for a perfect Thai getaway. It's no problem getting from place to place as numerous flights connect northern, central and southern regions, including some of the larger islands, while more far-flung isles are easily reached by boat.
