Thailand, the Land of Smiles Thinking of Thailand, often the first associations that cross our minds are an ever-busy Bangkok, countless tuktuk taxis vying for your attention, hot sandy beaches beneath a sun bursting sky and lots of tourists on stunning beaches. But did you know the country is also the perfect getaway for those seeking some well-needed peace of mind? Take a deep breath, find a comfortable space and let me take you on a journey! Best time to visit
What to do
You can basically visit Thailand all year round but bear in mind the rainy season lasts from July till October. That also means… hello, mosquitos! Temperatures are usually nice and warm, or burning hot, though Thailand’s northern part can also be surprisingly chilly. Even if it feels counterintuitive, make sure you pack a sweater and socks – you will thank me for it!
Try out massages, lots of them. From Thai full body massage, herbal compress massage, foot massage, hot stone massage… go crazy, be bold and try multiple out! However, avoid commercial houses and look for small local parlours instead for the authenticity. It is incredibly cheap and you will experience a great body and soul pamper session. You will unwind in no time!
