You can then venture north into the enchanting realms of Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle, a beautiful landscape of forest and jungle scattered with ancient temples and traditional hill tribe villages. Here too lies 700-year-old Chiang Mai and its famous night market where you can bargain for everything from lacquered boxes and jewellery to parchment parasols and Thai silk.

And when it comes to beaches, Thailand has some of the world’s finest, its coastline stretching along both the Andaman Sea and Gulf Coast in addition to countless islands and islets. To really relax, head south to the tropical paradises of Phuket and Koh Samui, each an Indian Ocean pearl of palm-fringed beach, aquamarine sea and lush, verdant rainforest where world-class resorts abound.
