Chiang Mai, Thailand

There’s no place that better embodies Thailand’s cultural heritage and modern aspirations than Chiang Mai. This venerable walled city was once the capital of the ancient Lanna kingdom, filled with splendid stupas, saffron-robed monks and dusty tracks.

Chiang Rai, Thailand

Chiang Rai is as real as it gets in Thailand. This sleepy city might not have the boho-chic of sibling Chiang Mai, but it is an authentic slice of life and the launch pad for a magical adventure.

Hua Hin, Thailand

A couple of hours south of bustling Bangkok, the laid-back resort town of Hua Hin has been a Thai weekender’s favourite ever since the royal family started heading here back in the 1920s.

Koh Phi Phi, Thailand

The twin islands of Koh Phi Phi ascend from the ocean like a jagged rock fortress, with beach-fronted jungle skulking enticingly behind the battlements. Simply put: it’s a mind-blowingly beautiful vision.

Phang Nga, Thailand

Imagine the perfect beach and Phang Nga can probably beat it. This postcard-spectacular south-western Thai province hugs the Andaman Sea, with crystal-clear waters and jaw-dropping bays giving way to sheer limestone cliffs and dense tropical jungle.
