Thailand City & Beaches

The ideal multi-centre blend of culture and beach

Add to travel planner

A Thailand city and beach holiday is the perfect way to incorporate vibrant city life and barefoot beach luxury, absorbing the distinct regions on offer. If you want your Kuoni holiday to include both sightseeing and snorkelling, combine the exotic capital Bangkok with an island stay at a beautiful beach resort. You can choose to stay in three, four or five star accommodation and also add a three night stay to bohemian, more laid-back Chiang Mai.

Choose from our great selection of domestic multi-centre deals:


Kuoni Thailand Multi-Centre Highlights:
•  On our Bangkok & Phuket Multi-Centre combine sights including The Grand Palace and Wat Pho, with a relaxed, indulgent stay on Phuket.
•  Or soak up diverse sightseeing in Bangkok before relaxing on the white sands of Koh Samui  combining and palm-fringed beaches on our Bangkok & Koh Samui Multi-Centre.

View our selection of Thailand City & Beaches itineraries, combining Thailand’s eclectic metropolis, Bangkok with an outstanding choice of Thai beach resorts.

Eating/Drinking

Food

•   Most hotels offer American, English and continental breakfasts, and you may find western-style fast food outlets, snack bars and ice cream parlours.
•   Thai cuisine is a spicy mix of noodles, curries, sweet-and-sour dishes, slow- and fast-cooked ingredients, exotic spices and condiments.

Drink
•   Don’t drink the tap water or ice – stick to bottled mineral water or purified water in hotels.

Good to know

Religion
Theravada Buddhism. Minority religions include Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism.

Etiquette
•   Thais revere their royal family, so never express disregard for it.
•   Outward expressions of anger are regarded as crude and boorish.
•   Each Buddha image - large or small, ruined or not - is considered sacred. Never climb onto one to take a photograph or do anything that might show lack of respect.
•   Public displays of affection between couples are frowned upon. Westernised Thai couples may hold hands but that’s as far as it goes in polite society.
•   It is considered rude to point your foot at a person or object.
•   Never pat a Thai on the head – they see it as the highest part of the body, both literally and figuratively.

No vaccinations are compulsory but some are recommended. For more detailed and up-to-date information, contact your GP or a specialised vaccination centre.
Clothing

•   Dress neatly in all religious shrines - never go shirtless or in shorts, hot-pants or other scanty attire.
•   Take off your shoes when entering private Thai homes, chapels that house Buddhist images, and mosques.

Tipping

Tip porters and hotel staff if you’re happy with their service. If a service charge isn’t added to your restaurant bill, tip 10-15%.
