Sample street food in Bangkok

You’ve never truly tasted Thai cuisine until you’ve tried street food in Bangkok. Perch on a busy street corner and sample the local delights, from a heaped bowl of pad thai noodles to a creamy massaman curry or fresh papaya salad.

Find trendy restaurants in downtown Silom or take a river ferry and wander through the maze-like Wang Lang market. With its barbecue stalls, noodle shops and street carts selling a vast range of dishes it’s a dream destination for food lovers.

Big Buddha at sunset

Perched on the Nakkerd Hills, looking down over Chalong, Kata and Rawai, is the awe-inspiring Phuket Big Buddha. Carved from white Burmese marble, this landmark gleams in the Thai sunshine and is impossible to miss.

Visit at sunset to enjoy vivid views and a moment of peace and quiet. Then, take a walk around Phuket Old Town. This historical hub is brimming with temples and its compact nature makes it perfect for exploring on foot.

Amazing archipelago

A trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park – an archipelago in the Gulf of Thailand made up of more than 42 islands – is a fabulous full-day excursion from Koh Samui.

Nature lovers will be in their element – you’ll find jungle, lagoons and waterfalls, along with an array of wildlife that calls the archipelago home, including eagles, otters and turtles.

Feeling active? Explore the area by hiking, kayaking or snorkelling. You can dive here too for the chance to see the reefs up close and personal.
