Thailand Holidays
Few countries manage to be quite so many things at once, and do all of them well, as Thailand. Its southern islands and beaches — Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and beyond — offer some of the most beautiful tropical scenery in the world, dramatic limestone karsts rising straight out of turquoise water alongside genuinely excellent-value resorts.
Bangkok, meanwhile, delivers one of Asia’s great cities: golden temples and royal palaces sitting alongside rooftop bars, street food markets and some of the best shopping in the region.
For British holidaymakers, Thailand has long held a special place as the archetypal long-haul adventure — accessible enough for a first-time long-haul trip, yet varied and rich enough to reward repeat visits for years. Its tourism infrastructure is mature and exceptionally well developed, prices remain excellent value, and the country’s famous warmth and hospitality makes it one of the most welcoming long-haul destinations for UK travellers of every age and travel style.

Best Time to Visit Asia
The best time to visit Asia depends on the destination, as the continent covers a huge area with very different climates and seasons.
Tropical destinations such as Thailand, Bali and parts of Southeast Asia have distinct wet and dry seasons, while countries such as Japan experience very different conditions throughout the year. Choosing the right travel dates therefore depends on the destination and the type of holiday you are planning.
