Planning a Thailand holiday

Thailand has two coastlines with different weather, so where you go depends on when you travel. In winter, the Andaman coast, including Phuket and Krabi, is at its best. In summer, the Gulf islands are usually drier.

Many travellers start with a few nights in Bangkok, then fly south to the beaches. We plan the domestic flights, ferries and transfers so the journey is easy.

Where to stay

Phuket has the widest choice of hotels and is great for families. Krabi is quieter with dramatic scenery, and Koh Samui mixes boutique resorts with lovely beaches.

Hotels in Thailand are excellent value, so a step up to a pool villa often costs less than you would expect.
