My name is Nuk and I’m the Operations and Reservations Manager in Thailand. I love welcoming travellers and introducing them to the many charms of my homeland. From the famous tropical islands and white-sanded beaches in the South, to the alluring rice fields and lush mountains in the North, there’s our buzzing and fast-paced capital, Bangkok, and the relatively untouched north-eastern region, Isaan. I believe it’s this unique blend of traditional and modern that makes Thailand so special, along with the friendly locals, mouthwatering food and magnificent temples.

* The actual climate in Thailand’s Regions can vary a bit.
Thailand’s climate can be divided into three seasons. The most popular time to visit the Southeast Asian country is from November to February when the weather is cool and dry. Whilst there’s usually just a small drop in temperature in the South, the North can get quite chilly during these months – especially at night. In March, the temperatures start to rise, with April being the hottest month, until the southwest monsoon brings regular downpours and high humidity from May to October. In Thailand’s south, the Andaman coast sees heavy rains and storms, with some islands being completely closed during this time. The Lower Gulf coast, on the other hand, experiences most rainfall from September to December, brought by the northeast monsoon.

The country’s official currency is the Thai baht (฿). ATMs are found throughout Thailand, accepting most debit and credit cards, whilst banks and money exchange counters exchange most major foreign currencies.
Whilst visa requirements differ depending on passport country of origin, most Western nationals can enter Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption (by both land and air). Those planning on staying longer in the country need to apply for a single-entry 60-day tourist visa at a Thai embassy or consulate before entering the country; this can be extended by 30 days at a Thai immigration office. Note that all passports must be valid for at least six months and travellers must provide proof of an onward ticket when entering the country. As travel policies change regularly, it’s best to check the official government website for the latest regulations before visiting. http://www.mfa.go.th/main/
Songkran marks the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year and is the country’s most important festival. From April 13 to 15 (the duration can vary in some regions), families come together, pay respect to elders and visit temples to pray and make merit. Water plays an important role during Songkran; traditionally, Thai people clean their house before the celebrations, pour scented water on Buddha images and monks’ hands, and splash each other with water as a form of cleansing of bad spirits. Whilst these traditions continue to exist, Songkran has grown into a full-on water fight with people celebrating by soaking each other using water guns and buckets of water.
Also known as ‘the festival of light’, the Buddhist celebration usually takes place in November and is one of the most beautiful festivities in Thailand. People participate by releasing small decorative boats, called ‘krathongs’, into the rivers or lakes as a means of thanking the water goddess and letting go of misfortune. These small krathongs are usually made of banana leaves, decorated with flowers and adorned with a lighted candle.
In Thailand, Discova owns and operates a fleet of 31 vehicles and two speedboats.

This local favourite is fermented rice noodles, with a delicate texture and slightly sour taste, topped with a choice of curries and fresh vegetables. Typically found on the street rather than restaurants, this is a must-try dish if you get the chance!
One of Thailand’s most popular desserts, and for good reason! Fresh mango served with glutinous rice sweetened with sugar and coconut milk, topped off with a sprinkling of crispy mung beans. An indulgent dish perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth.
“One of my all-time favourites is Pad Krapow. It’s a classic Thai dish made of Holy Basil stir-fried with a choice of meat. If you want chicken, ask for ‘gai’, pork is ‘moo’ or if you’d rather have it with mushrooms, add the word ‘hed’. Pad Krapow is usually topped with a fried egg and served with a portion of rice. Beware it can be quite spicy! If you prefer less heat, ask for ‘phet noi’.”

Whilst Bangkok may seem overwhelming and intense at first, once you find your feet in the Thai capital’s busy streets it quickly turns into an exhilarating destination. It’s locally known as “Krung Thep”, meaning the City of Angels, but perhaps a more fitting moniker would be the City of Contrast. Rustic roadside vendors compete with chic rooftop bars, bustling night markets stand side-by-side with modern, air-conditioned shopping malls and ancient temples strike a balance with the frenzied traffic and lively nightlife.
