Thailand Multi-Centre Holidays

Thailand is a foodie's heaven and this itinerary will make sure you get to try all the authentic specialities on offer. Start your journey in Bangkok, an iconic city buzzing with life that's known for its diverse street food. Head north to Chiang Mai, where the food delicacies are influenced by its rich culture. In complete contrast, you'll travel south to Khao Lak for a tropical beach retreat where you can enjoy jungle life and explore the underwater world. There'll be plenty of opportunities along the way to taste and even have a go at creating some classic Thai dishes. ​

This itinerary takes you on a vibrant journey from the misty mountains of the north to the sun-drenched shores of the south. Start in Chiang Rai, where surreal temples and sleepy charm set the tone. Then head to Chiang Mai, a cultural hub bursting with creativity, street food, and jungle adventures. Swap city vibes for island life as you wind down in Koh Chang, an island of lush rainforest and a laid-back rhythm that invites you to fully unwind. Finally, swap one paradise for another as you head over to Koh Samet, a pocket-sized paradise with powdery sands and endless sunshine. Whether you're chasing temples, trails, or tropical tides, this itinerary is your ticket to seeing Thailand in full colour.

The three-day experience at Elephant Hills immerses you in the natural beauty of Khao Sok National Park before you head to Khao Lak and The Sands – great for a mix of lazing on the beach, by the pool and shopping at local markets.

This classic city and beach combination is the answer to why Thailand is one of our most popular Far East destinations. A few nights in Bangkok is plenty of time to take a tuk-tuk ride, find yourself in a spectacular urban palace, have a three-course dinner on the river and try every kind of street food you find. Koh Samui is a crowd pleaser with great weather almost all year round and pale golden beaches. You could easily spend day after day doing nothing more than devouring amazing Thai food and sinking your feet into dazzling white sand to the easy pace of island life.

This is southern Thailand with the wow turned up. You’ll start north of Phuket, where limestone towers rise from mangrove channels, and Phang Nga Bay delivers the kind of views that make you glad you came all this way. Then it’s inland to Khao Sok National Park for rainforest, emerald water, and a floating stay on Cheow Lan Lake, before finishing on Khao Lak’s long, easy beaches, with the Similan and Surin Islands within reach for standout snorkelling trips. It’s a brilliant route if you want the drama of Thailand’s scenery without hopping between airports.

The trip begins with an exceptional elephant experience at Anantara Golden Triangle, setting the scene for the standard of luxury you can expect over the days ahead. You’ll hop from place to place, always departing and arriving by private transfer, and experience the diversity of Thailand, from the urban metropolis of Bangkok to the sensational beaches of Khao Lak and Phuket.

Between poolside downtime, you can fill your days hitting the buzzing hotspots, discovering untouched beaches and exploring the underwater world.

This is Thailand without the airport hopping, focusing on central Thailand and everything it has to offer. You’ll start in Bangkok for street food, temples, markets, and big-city energy, then head west to Kanchanaburi for the River Kwai, wartime history, and waterfall country, before finishing on the coast in Hua Hin, Thailand’s original seaside escape. The route works because each stop does something different, and the travel in between earns its place. We keep it smooth with private transfers, a choice of sightseeing stops between Kanchanaburi and Hua Hin, and the right mix of guided experiences and time to do your own thing.

This twin centre holiday shows you a more in-depth side of Thailand, and these two resorts share a natural beauty and air of tranquility. In Chiang Mai you can explore sacred places and jungle-clad hills and in Krabi relax amidst national marine parks, rainforests, dramatic cliffs and idyllic beaches.

Embark on a captivating journey from Chiang Mai and venture north to Chiang Rai. The scenic mountain route is dotted with fascinating stops, offering breathtaking views and intriguing experiences. Over the next few days, immerse yourself in the allure of Chiang Rai, a city of outstanding beauty with a rich, complex history. Engage with the community, discover the innovative efforts shaping the city’s future.

Over a memorable few days, you’ll dive into chapters of Thailand’s long history, from its ancient civilisation in the UNESCO city of Ayutthaya to the atrocities that unfolded in Kanchanaburi, while also learning plenty about Thailand of the here and now. Feel the rhythm of the fragrant and colourful markets and meet rice farmers to hear about their daily lives. A visit to the waterfalls at Erawan National Park means you can also see one of the scenic highlights of the nation. During this adventure, you'll stay at Cross River Kwai.

Acclimatise to Thailand in an EarthCheck Gold-certified hotel in Bangkok before escaping to the countryside to help care for elephants on an exceptional three-day adventure. Then check into a beachside eco-resort for a whole week dedicated to some true R&R.

This culture-meets-beach-meets-city Thailand adventure has been designed with romance in mind and features unique experiences and a handful of handpicked hotels and resorts in spectacular settings. Spend the night à deux in a bubble lodge in a Chiang Rai elephant camp, make memories together as you sample street food in Chiang Mai and cruise to paradise islands where the snorkelling is out of this world.

A deep dive into Thailand’s scenery and culture comes courtesy of private guided tours in Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, and Bangkok, balanced with some (hands-off) time with elephants at The Bush Camp — an extraordinary safari camp. A week on a Koh Samui beach lets everyone find their own version of downtime. This is the kind of family holiday that earns you kudos.

Escape to Thailand for a little TLC. Stay in three distinctive hotels, from the modern gleam of the Banyan Tree in Bangkok to the tropical beauty of the Varana Hotel and Pimalai Resort & Spa. Try a Thai Muay boxing class in the city and aerial yoga by the beach. Then venture into the tropical rainforest, searching for natural therapy in the form of volcanic hot springs.
