Lively, loud, and exotic – Bangkok is certainly a destination for the eager city-goer to tick off their bucket list. Some of the most popular attractions here include the religious sites of Wat Phra Chetuphon and Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun); or if you wish to see some traditional Thai wares in full glory, wander at your leisure around the Chatuchak weekend market. By night, you could hop into your own personal tuk-tuk to see the wonderful lit-up sights of the city. Feeling peckish and need a late-night snack? You’ll be spoiled for choice at the wide array of restaurants where you can taste some quality authentic Thai cuisine.
Located in the south of Thailand, the castaway island of Phuket is where you can unwind and enjoy a calmer and slower-paced environment.

If you wish to enjoy more of a buzz on one of the evenings here, venture to the west coast city of Patong where you’ll find an array of lively bars and clubs.
