Nature lovers will love all that Thailand offers, from the renowned Phi Phi Islands, gorgeous beaches of Koh Samui and the bustling cosmopolitan of Bangkok, which is a foodie’s heaven. Below are just among some of the places that we recommend adding to your Thailand multi-centre holiday for an unforgettable trip.

Phi Phi Islands

Made up of 9 beautiful islands, the Phi Phi islands are one of Thailand’s most visited places with gorgeous beaches with turquoise lagoon and majestic limestone formations, which offers the most gorgeous backdrop to your holiday. The most visited Phi Phi islands are Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh, where you can step on the renowned Maya Bay, which is known as the film set for The Beach. If you’re in search for an incredible snorkeling spot, head to Sama Bay where you’ll find a rainbow of tropical fish.

Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand’s energetic city with plenty going on, from bustling food stalls that line the streets, to enchanting temples and vibrant nightlife. There’s a variety of ways to travel around Bangkok, why not discover the scenic streets by tuk tuk or explore the city on a cruise through Chao Phraya River – or even better, grab some local delicacies on a long tail boat ride through the floating markets. If you’re wondering what the best way to view Bangkok’s striking skyline would be, we recommend booking a reservation at the many rooftop restaurants scattered around the city. Veritgo (on the 61^st floor of Banyan Tree), Sky Bar (on the 63^rd floor of Lebua at State Tower) and Octave Rooftop Bar (on the 45^th floor of Marriott Hotel) are just among some of the best rooftop bars to visit for those awe-inspiring views.

As well as its stunning beaches, which are loved by sun worshippers, Pattaya has breathtaking temples, gorgeous gardens, fun water parks and stunning viewpoints in which to admire Pattaya’s mesmerizing sceneries.
