There’s no doubt that getting to and home from Thailand is a big committment. And airfare will likely be your biggest expense on this vacation. However once there, you will immediately feel the peace, and warmth of the culture. You will also have the opportunity to be as active or relaxed as you wish (think ‘do nothing on the most gorgeous beach in the world’). We recommend you have at least 10 days for the best vacation to Thailand. You can visit Thailand any time of the year (weather varies by region), however usually November through April is the best time for most areas. A sample itinerary that will give you an introduction to the “must see” areas, as well as provide opportunity to relax, would be: Bangkok (Central area, 2 or 3 nts), Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai (in the north, 2 or 3 nights), Phuket or one of the many islands nearby (in the south, 3 or 4 nights).
Thailand has so many gorgeous accommodations and exciting activity choices
Whether you are looking for a resort with tons of amenities (think spa, multiple restaurants and pools), or a smaller boutique style property, you will be able to find it here. Regardless of the style you choose, you will notice right away the world class service culture. The Thai people love visitors and will openly share their lives as well as their ‘insider tips’ with you!
What kind of activities does your family like to do? Do you have an animal lover, or adrenaline seeker? A vacation to Thailand can offer an unforgettable experience to everyone.
A visit to an elephant sanctuary is truly a once in a lifetime adventure. You will have the opportunity learn about and actually care for (feeding, bathing) some of these amazing animals. This will surely be the best ‘mud bath’ you’ve ever experienced!
US News ranked ’15 Best Beaches in the World’, and Thailand had two in the top 10! Phuket (#8) has miles and miles of spectacular coastline. ‘Long tail’ boat rides are easily available (and quite affordable!) to whisk you off to one of the hundreds of nearby islands. The striking water color and pristine sand beaches will have you dreaming about going back long after you return home! Railay beach area won the #9 spot, and is located along the Andaman sea, and strikes a balance of lush jungles, hiking areas and spectacular cliffs.
If you are looking for lots of activities, great restaurants, and some shopping therapy, head to Phuket and the beach areas of Patong, Karon or Kamala. If you are looking for quiet, more secluded beaches, you could consider one of the islands like Koh Samui or Ko Yao Noi. Any of these destinations will provide you with lots of opportunity to relax, and connect with each other!
