WELCOME TO THAILAND Thailand is a remarkable kingdom presenting a wealth of cultural, historical and natural riches. It is a land celebrated for its flavourful simple cuisine, smiling locals, picture-perfect beaches and magnificent temples. Thailand’s south is a film-reel of perfect backdrops, showcasing surreal beauty and exotic adventure. Behold the looming cliffs and emerald waters surrounding Phi Phi Island, dive among the coral gardens of Khao Lak and experience Phuket where the nightlife throbs and the beaches lull. Discover the Gulf of Thailand and the unspoilt eco-haven of Koh Phangan, the royally endorsed Hua Hin and experience true Thai hospitality in Koh Samui. Keep up with the pace of Bangkok where the shopping is limitless and a traditional way of life still functions amidst a bustling modern-day capital. Journey into the north and witness the mountainous surrounds, stoned walls and the traditional life of Chiang Mai. Be taken with Chiang Rai and its laidback charm, where trekkers come for the scenic trails to explore the gateway to the Golden Triangle. Blessed with every ingredient for a memorable holiday, Thailand earns its reputation as ‘the land of smiles’. Travelling with Kids Thailand is an ideal family holiday destination and many resorts offer kid-friendly facilities. Our suggestions are: Holiday Inn Resort Phuket, Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa Merlin Beach, Sunwing Resort Kamala Beach, The Sands Khao Lak and Bandara Resort & Spa. Romantic Breaks If you are looking for a romantic interlude, relaxation, time out together or that special honeymoon then consider: Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, Cape Panwa, SALA Chaweng Resort & Spa, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui & Nora Buri Resort & Spa. Spa & Wellness Thailand is well known for offering world-class spa and wellness resorts. Our suggestions are: Kamalaya Koh Samui and RarinJinda Wellness Spa Resort, Chiang Mai. Off The Beaten Track Are you looking for an unforgettable experience and maybe something totally different? Our suggestions are a rainforest experience at Elephant Hills or a beach escape to the idyllic resort of Santhiya Koh Yao Yai. Indulgent Holidays If you enjoy the finer things in life with premium services and outstanding Thai hospitality, we recommend The Shore at Katathani, Andara Resort & Villas, Tower Club at Lebua, The Sarojin and Melati Beach Resort & Spa. Climate Northern Thailand and Bangkok experiences three distinct seasons: Summer (March to May); Green (June to October) when rain may fall; and Cool (November to February). Southern Thailand experiences a tropical climate with two seasons, wet and dry. Phuket’s wet season occurs between April and October. In Koh Samui, rain may fall between September and December. Temperatures are more even year-round in the south with an average of 28°C.

Several of these include Chinese New Year in late January, Songkran in April and Loi Krathong in November. National days and Christian holidays remain the same each year. Surcharges may apply at hotels and for certain flights during these times. Check with your travel agent for public holiday updates. Electricity Thailand’s voltage is 220 – 240 volts.

WELCOME TO VIETNAM
Vietnam represents an evolving tale of courage and resilience, set against a backdrop of natural beauty. A timeless land rich in culture, history and cuisine, Vietnam offers a captivating experience sure to inspire every traveller.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the north, Halong Bay is a wonder to behold. Thousands of limestone pillars rising from the deep make for remarkable viewing. Central Vietnam tells the story of a once bustling trading port in ancient Hoi An, and the former capital of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue. Each showcasing UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Hoi An Ancient Town and 18th Century Citadel respectively; these cities are a true step back in time. Follow the coast south and arrive at Vietnam’s premier resort town Nha Trang, a stretch of turquoise waters and white sand, for some welcome time-out. Journey deeper into the south and discover the synthesis of past turmoil and modern evolution that is Ho Chi Minh City (also known as Saigon), home of the fascinating Cu Chi Tunnels and gateway to the mighty Mekong Delta. Vietnam is an endearing country with a charm that comes not from its rich history or natural beauty, but its people.

Vietnam’s capital thrives with a mix of urban energy and Parisian grace. Famous for its leafy boulevards, tranquil lakes and French Colonial architecture, Hanoi is rich with old-world charm. A history lesson is never far away, from the many museums and the ancient tradition of water puppetry, to the bustling Old Quarter and the iconic Long Bien Bridge. Establishing itself as one of the world’s great food cities, Hanoi also has an abundance of dining options; the street food is not to be missed. A minimum of three nights in Hanoi should allow you to take advantage of the attractions on offer. Explore the Old Quarter on foot or in a traditional cyclo. For attractions outside the Old Quarter, a guided tour is highly recommended.
