Thailand

Bangkok is a city of intense contrasts. Golden temples, towers, markets, motorways, canals and residential districts coexist within an immense humid metropolis.

Chiang Mai lies in a valley surrounded by mountains in northern Thailand. Walls, moats and temples survive from the Lanna kingdom, while creative districts, markets, universities and contemporary life shape the present city.

Koh Samui lies in the Gulf of Thailand through beaches, green hills, coconut plantations, temples and coastal villages. Tourism transformed the island rapidly, while communities, markets and landscapes connected with farming and fishing remain.

Krabi combines limestone cliffs, beaches, islands, mangroves and small visitor centres. Ao Nang is the most practical base, while Railay, Krabi Town and the islands offer different experiences.

Pattaya works best when families organise districts, ages and realistic travel time within the context of Thailand.
