Long-stay holidays in Thailand

Whether you’re planning to escape the British winter or whether you simply fancy a longer stay in warmer climates, long-stay holidays are ideal for those seeking an escape of ten days and over.

And, with Thailand offering year-round warm weather, a great choice of accommodation to suit all budgets, decadent beaches and so much more – it’s no wonder that more people are choosing to stay longer each year.

What makes Thailand a perfect long-stay destination?

You can stay up to 60 days in Thailand with a tourist visa, meaning worry-free planning from the start
World-class hotels – if you’re set on a single destination, why not stay in more than one hotel to really make use the facilities available such as the many opulent spas that Thailand is famous for
Delectable cuisines – from fiery street food in Bangkok to the freshest seafood by the coast, Thai food is simply delicious. You could even book a Thai cookery lesson to bring home a taste of Thailand
You don’t have to stay in the one place – perhaps combine a city break with a cultural escape, and finish on the golden sands of a sleepy beach resort. The choices here are endless.

Long-stay holidays with Kuoni

Koh Samui

In Koh Samui, you can soak up the island vibes in the bustling resort centres of Chaweng, Lamai and Bo Phut, or find your dream hideaway on a secluded cove and simply escape from the world. Koh Samui also offers a delightful variety to its beaches, making this an ideal destination catering for most travellers’ tastes and budgets.

Phuket

Cosmopolitan Phuket offers a variety of holiday experiences. There are the bright lights of lively Patong, but also quieter beaches ideal for families, world-class resorts and romantic hideaways. Phuket is the main getaway to beautiful Koh Phi Phi (location of the film The Beach), Phang Nga Bay (home to James Bond Island) as well as wonderful snorkelling and diving trips.

Krabi

The province of Krabi lies over 400 miles south of Bangkok (a one hour flight), on the shores of the glorious Andaman Sea. Relatively low-key compared to the likes of Phuket, Krabi’s main resort town is bustling Ao Nang, but the region also plays host to the beautiful isthmus of Railway and peaceful offshore islands including Koh Lanta. Krabi is famous for its jungle-clad limestone cliffs which are simply breathtaking.

Hua Hin

Enjoying a stunning Gulf of Siam setting and accessible from Bangkok in under three hours’ drive, sleepy Hua Hin is the summer home to Thai royalty and features long stretches of attractive beaches, great golf courses, a fine choice of hotels and a superb night market with handicrafts galore. Kick back and relax on Hua Hin’s powder-soft sands or head to Wat Khao Lad, also known as ‘The Monkey Temple’, which is home to macaque monkeys that hang out in little troops.
