This former capital of the independent Lanna Thai Kingdom, founded in 1296, flourished as a major religious, cultural and trading centre, leaving a lasting heritage in its buildings, art, sculpture, and crafts. A great place to shop for ethnic handicrafts of silk, silver and wood and to see a different side of Thailand.
Phuket Island
Phuket is the gem of the Andaman Sea with golden-sand beaches, crystal clear blue waters and coral reefs rich with sea life. Surrounded by 32 smaller islands, all close enough to visit on a 1-day cruise, Phuket is a Mecca for diving, snorkelling and sun bathing. Close by is the mainland province of Phang Nga with its eerie limestone seascape and Khao Lak, further north, on the fringes of 3 national parks. Eco-tours, rafting, nature walks, elephant trekking; adventure in the cool green forest interior. Mountains, rainforest, coral reefs, idyllic islands. Just 70 minutes flying time south of Bangkok, Phuket is Thailand's largest island and offers all the essential ingredients of a fantastic holiday, and lots more...
Pattaya
Pattaya is a city in Thailand, located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand , about 165 km southeast of Bangkok in the province of Chon Buri.Pattaya's main attraction are its beaches. Pattaya Beach is situated along the central city in close proximity to shopping, hotels and bars.
Phi Phi Island
Phi Phi Island, located just 45 minutes by boat from Phuket, offers a great laid back tropical lifestyle. Picture postcard perfect, with classic white sandy beaches, surrounded by impressive limestone cliffs and sunlit crystal water, Phi Phi actually consists of two islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Ley, so gorgeous it was used as a location for the Hollywood film, "The Beach." Fine, white sandy beaches and breathtaking rock formations rising from the vivid turquoise waters that surround the islands will instantly confirm you've arrived in paradise.
Butterfly Garden
Butterflies are one of the most beautiful examples of the island’s biodiversity. See many of vividly-colourful tropical butterflies in this scenic hillside setting. The garden has a great display of caterpillars, set in the hillside and with a spectacular view of the sea, the Butterfly Garden is located on the south-east part of the island at Laem Sea Beach
The Big Buddha Beach
The beach it is so named, because you can see the Big Buddha temple from the whole length of one of the island’s longest beaches, from Bophut to Samui Airport. While this quiet beach is a ways off the main road there are a couple of good reasons to make the trip.
Shopping & Entertainment
Thailand offers a wonderful experience for a shopholic , with a fantastic variety of goods on offer. Handbags, backpacks, wallets, purses, briefcases and suitcases in just about every size and style can be purchased in Thailand markets. Bangkok is one of the most competitively priced cities in Asia.
