1. Thailand literally has it all and is all year round travel

Thailand is famous for beautiful beaches that welcome visitors all year. While most popular beach towns like Phuket, Khao Lak and Koh Lanta are perfect for winter escape. Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao are the summer secrets that you should not miss.  Those who enjoy vibrant city life and metropolitan lifestyle should explore Bangkok.

Divers can discover underwater world in the south such as Trang. Adventure addicts can enjoy their outdoor hike and rock climbing in Krabi or Kanchanaburi. Golf lovers can challenge their swing in many golf courses around Thailand. Kids can enjoy their days learning local craft while grandparents can relax at the Thai spa. Traveling in Thailand is simple, and you can enjoy the diversity the country offers in just one trip.

2.                Value for the money

With a tough economic situation, we are forced to choose. Traveling is one of the essences that we prefer not to cut but how we should spend the money that still makes most of the value. Thailand trip can be a great value for your money and your household budget. The living costs in Thailand are much lower than here. The airfare is only the biggest part of your travel cost, but other living costs in Thailand are much less. Thai’s lifestyle allows us to spend work and leisure that fits the new norm of remote working while saving your budget and still earning the income. Moreover, traveling domestically is convenient and price-friendly since there are a wide range of low-cost airlines, buses and trains  to choose from. Meaning that you can travel from north to south, experience beaches, historical sites and city break all in 1 trip.  We gather the tips on how to save your travel budget here. 

3.                Many unseen destinations to explore

We encourage travelers to escape from the tourist routes and discover the unseen of Thailand. Not only will you find a destination that is different but also it will help the local community generate income as well as saving money in your pocket.  Here are some of the examples;

Just a few hours up north from Khao Lak, a little island of Koh Phayam is an undiscovered beauty in the Andaman Sea. You can enjoy a calm atmosphere with untouched beaches and turquoise water. The island kept its authenticity with many local resorts and restaurants to choose from. Ban Krut (link to Ban Krut article- to be published), a village located south of Hua Hin, that can easily travel by train is another charming gem. Ban Krut  is an excellent option for those looking for the authentic local getaway city with a slow pace-relaxation and miles of beaches.  On the gulf coast, Chumporn coast town is “Thailand as it used to be” It offers stunning experiences such as  snorkeling sites, mountainside viewpoints perfect for outdoorsy and off-the beaten path activity seekers.  With over 200 kilometers of coastline,there are amazing beaches worth exploring here. If you want to experience a destination more exotic, we recommend Udon Thani in the North-east region. Udon Thani is known as one of the most bustling commercial cities in Isan. Visit magnificent Pink Lotus Lake that CNN Traveler ranks in the top 15 most unique lakes in the world. And stop by Samuay & Sons to test contemporary Isaan cuisine that is made from indigenous ingredients and recommended by both Michelin Guide and Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. 

4.                Meaningful experience

After the pandemic, people seek not only happiness in traveling but also meaningful time with their loved one and family. Thailand is an ideal destination for family, friends and even solo-travelers to spend quality time. Beautiful nature takes away your stress from everyday life while genuine Thai hospitality can uplift the wonderful memory of the journey. Learning the history of the local area can help you get in touch with the different cultures.  Another way of making your trip to Thailand more than just a usual journey is by supporting local communities or saving the environment with “Meaningful travel”. The booking platform helps support nature conservation and protect green spaces throughout Thailand with Big Trees Foundation. 

5.                Language to heart

Thai smiles and our friendliness take away the language barrier and win many hearts from visitors all over the world. Thai people are happily welcoming all the travelers to our home country just like you are one of our family members. No matter where you go or any trouble that you might get into, you are certain that you will always get the help you need. The services in Thailand also impressed many travelers. Friendliness and genuine hospitality is the real luxury of traveling nowadays. Thai food is also the language that has been spoken to people around the world. The unique linguistic of Thai flavor and aroma are familiar to most people. Yet many are longing for the authentic Thai taste in Thailand.  To take a bite of good food needs no wording but a smile. Experiencing different Thai foods in different regions is another way to communicate the diversity of the culture. Thai people usually greet our guests asking, “If you have eaten?”. Food has always been a big part of Thai’s lifestyle.
