THAILAND: LUXURY REDEFINED

Stay in a leading resort or double up and explore more

FROM gleaming temples to turquoise waters, there’s every reason to put Thailand at the top of your holiday list.

The welcoming Land of Smiles is Insta-worthy at every turn — and perfect for couples, families and friends alike.

Be at one with resplendent nature, shop at floating markets, explore the culture, relax on white sand beaches and indulge in world-class cuisine. Best At Travel makes a Thailand luxury holiday affordable — whether a luxurious, five-star resort beckons, or you plan to explore more on a bespoke multicentre trip.

TOTAL RELAXATION

THAILAND is home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches — perfect for soaking up the sunshine or snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters. Hike to waterfalls and temples from secluded Krabi, explore local markets and take longtail boats to lesser-known islands. Consider five-star Rayavadee hotel (pictured) — it’s themed on a Thai village, featuring luxury pavilions and villas in the spectacular setting of the National Marine Park. Phuket is a stunning slice of paradise. Bask on gorgeous beaches, discover sleepy coves and spectacular dive sites, or seek out the island’s famed nightlife — after tucking into some delicious Thai food! Laidback Koh Samui is perfect for taking dreamy dips in the turquoise waters, enjoying a massage on the beach, or joining a yoga class at a wellness retreat. Opt for iconic Centara Reserve Samui, at the quiet end of Chaweng Beach. Steps from sublime sands framed by swaying palm trees, it’s the ultimate in luxury tropical living.

WORLD-CLASS CUISINE

FROM street food to fine dining, there no shortage of culinary treats on your luxury holiday. Bangkok is a foodie paradise where you can sample Michelinstarred menus or try street food at the famous night markets. For urban living with an uber-luxe feel, stay at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon — it’s a design lover’s dream with a tropical oasis on the rooftop.

EXPLORE THE CULTURE

WHETHER visiting ancient temples or watching traditional dance, you’ll never be lost for things to do. The Grand Palace in Bangkok is intriguingly ornate, while Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, gleams in the sunset — making for glittering, glowing photographs.

And historic Chiang Mai offers an array of golden temples and peeks into woodcarving, silk and silver workshops.

Join dance and cooking classes and attend local ceremonies and festivals.
