Kingdom of Thailand lies in the heart of South East Asia and offers a wonderful introduction to the fascinating culture of the region. The climate is tropical and being a long country with islands to both the east and west, there is always an area to visit where the weather is at its best.
For families wishing to sample this colourful country the list of things to do is endless.
Bangkok buzzes with excitement; colourful floating markets, shining temples, massive Buddhas and a stunning Grand Palace. Go north for the jungle, trekking, elephants, tribal villages and crafts. While in the south the white beaches beckon, lapped by dazzling blue waters offering superb diving and snorkelling opportunities.
On top of all this, throughout Thailand the hotels have developed to a world class level with fantastic facilities, superb cuisine and, of course, the exemplary Asian hospitality.
