Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailands capital city, has dominated its urban hierarchy and political, commercial and cultural life since the late 18th century. The city is considered to be one of the most famous holiday destinations in the world for its rich culture and heritage, modern developments and overabundance of attractions. Bangkok’s best feature is its intermingling of opposites.
A modern world of affluence orbits around a serene traditional core. Step outside the four-star hotels into a typical Siamese village where taxi drivers knock back energy drinks and upcountry transplants grill chicken on a street side barbecue. With its intense humidity, hedonistic nightclubs and hurly-burly taxiing of tuk-tuks, Bangkok is an exhilarating attack on the senses.

Koh Phangan

The beautiful little island of Pha Ngan, lying in the centre of the Gulf of Thailand about 62 miles (100km) from the mainland, is home to 8,000 or so people, and hundreds of thousands of coconuts. Coconut exports and fishing have long been the mainstay of the locals, but in recent years tourism is becoming increasingly important as visitors flock in on ferries, lured by the island's magnificent beaches and the world renowned monthly Full Moon Party.

Koh Samui

A sun lover's paradise, Koh Samui ('the coconut island'), Thailand's third largest island resort, is no longer the footloose and fancy-free backpacker's secret hideaway. It now rivals Phuket as one of Thailand's most popular tourist destinations, with regular flights arriving at its own airport disgorging keen holidaymakers. A range of accommodation options exists, from modest beach bungalows to luxury resort hotels.

The island still retains its laid-back atmosphere though, with friendly locals, good food and some not too commercial local attractions like a crocodile farm and butterfly garden to keep visitors entertained. Night time is party-time with open-air discos and music bars throbbing in the darkness.

Pattaya

Pattaya, sited about 100 miles (160km) south of Bangkok, was once just a quiet coastal fishing town. Today it teems with holidaymakers, both local and foreign, and is packed with hotels, shops, restaurants and bars.

There are a multitude of other attractions on offer, from its rather over-crowded and well-used beaches to some first-class restaurants, hundreds of recreational activities, bazaar-type markets, and excursions to nearby more peaceful spots and offshore islands.

Phuket

In the Andaman Sea off Thailand's west coast, Phuket, or the 'Pearl of the South' as it has become known, is connected to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge. Thailand's largest island, Phuket is incredibly diverse, with rocky and sandy beaches, tall cliffs, forests, waterfalls and temples. Phuket caters to all, with a variety of resorts offering accommodation from backpackers and simple guesthouses to modern luxury hotels.

There is plenty to do on the island, whatever your budget, and several offshore islands are good for snorkeling and scuba diving. Phuket also has its own airport, making it easy to get to and from Bangkok, and although the island hosts thousands of tourists in peak season, its sheer size allows visitors to escape from the madding crowds. Just over an hour by jet from Bangkok or Singapore, and with daily connections to most major Asian airports, Phuket is ideally situated for a short break or a relaxing vacation.
