Travelling in Thailand: Luxury in Southeast Asia

From sampling the finest, freshest, sweetest coconuts in the world to seeing the jungle on the back of an elephant, there’s something in Thailand to satisfy all ages and holiday desires. If you’re thinking of packing your bags for a luxury holiday in Thailand, here are few points to set your thoughts buzzing like Bangkok.

Orient Express train from Bangkok to Chang Mai

You can’t get more luxurious than a trip aboard The Thai Explorer – a beautiful journey through rolling green scenery on board the Eastern & Oriental Express. This train departs Bangkok and travels north to Chiang Mai, visiting Si Satchanalai, part of the ancient Khmer Empire along the way, along with stunning 13th century Buddhist temples, before ending up back in Bangkok. If you haven’t had enough culture after all that, you can take a horse-drawn carriage ride to Ban Sao Nak, or “the house of many pillars”. To organise this luxurious journey, speak to our Concierge Traveller specialists today.

Volunteer at an elephant sanctuary

If you’ve always fancied yourself as a bit of an elephant handler, now is as good a time as any to start living the dream. There are numerous opportunities in Thailand to work with elephants and several special projects that have been created in a rural setting, which let the tribal elephant keepers stay in their villages and preserve their environment while they work with you. To see about setting up some volunteer work with elephants in Thailand, talk to our luxury travel consultants and arrange some fun.

Live the island life at Four Seasons Koh Samui

This stunning resort is shaded by coconut groves and overlooks the mystical Gulf, bringing privacy, romance and the sun, sand and stars to your holiday in Thailand. Stay amongst lush green gardens and sample Thai delights nightly either in the restaurant or in your private hillside villa at the Four Seasons Koh Samui. You’ll fall in love with your private bay and with exploring the beautiful Koh Samui by day. Blue skies, elephant trekking, fishing and many more activities await to fill your luxury holiday in Thailand.

Soak up the culture in Kanchanaburi

The infamous bridge on the river Kwai is a popular tourist destination in Kanchanaburi, but when all the tourists have gone home for the day, you could well have the charming River Kwai Valley culture to yourself to explore. Ask our nature-loving travel specialists about the best accommodation in this peaceful part of Thailand and kick back and relax for a few days before continuing your travels. Also, don’t miss a trip to Erawan Falls. This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Southeast Asia and the nibbly fish will fix up your dry feet in no time as you sit back, surrounded by dense, splendid jungle.
