A Guide for Holidays in Thailand’s Regions

With such a diverse range of holiday types, it’s important to know what you want to get out of your Thailand holiday. Each area of the country offers visitors something different and unique. Easily combinable, each region can be put into an itinerary making a beach holiday with a city break at the end, or an adventure holiday with a relaxing finish. There really is that much to see and do here.

Northern Thailand

The wild jungle areas of the far north of Thailand have become a popular tourist destination. The natural landscape is dotted with waterfalls as rivers run down from the mountainous areas through the dense rainforest.

With a wealth of wildlife in the area, many primates and birdlife can be seen on walks that can include visiting hill tribe villages or animal sanctuaries, including elephant sanctuaries where it has also become a destination for volunteers.

The city of Chiang Mai in the heart of the region can be accessed by a short flight from many Southeast Asian cities and is famous for its night market, old city centre complete with temples, square walls, and moat, and the temples of Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon perched on the top of the mountain overlooking the city.

The area is also great for thrill seekers as the rivers offer a wide variety of options from whitewater rafting to traditional river rafting, and ziplines zigzag amongst the rainforest canopy.

Temples at Doi Inthanon National Park

In the lower half of the northern region the ancient city of Sukhothai contains nearly 200 temples dating back to the first Kingdom of Siam in the 13th and 14th century. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it operated as the capital of the Thai Empire for approximately 140 years and contains excellent examples of early Thai architecture including carved sculptures of elephants under chedis, statues of Buddha, and was also the location of the Ramkhamhaeng stele containing the first example of Thai writing.

Central Thailand

With the capital city of Bangkok falling into this region, the central area including Bangkok is a gateway to the rest of the country and creates an ideal city break, business centre, and stopover location for passengers en route to further destinations.

This vibrant city blends the old traditions of the country with modern skyscrapers and luxury hotels. The city is famous for the Grand Palace and the many temples such as Wat Arun, Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of the Emerald Buddha), and Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha).

As with many cities, there is a large range of things to interest visitors. The Floating Markets are an excellent morning adventure to take in how the Chao Phraya River has influenced the city’s economy, while Chatuchak Markets will certainly have whatever you are looking for in one of its 15,000 stalls. For those looking to experience the livelier side of the city, Khao San Road is a must with its bars, street food stalls, and shops always filled with locals and tourists alike.

To the north of Bangkok lies another of Thailand’s historic capital cities, Ayutthaya. Founded in 1350 and lasting four centuries, it was once one of, if not the largest, cities of the world with a population of over one million people. Powerful from its location on trade routes, the Kingdom sent emissaries as far as the French Court of Versailles and the Mughal Court in Delhi. Nowadays the historical park is mostly an archaeological site but the former splendour is still pronounced by several prang’s and big monasteries.

To the west of Bangkok, the town of Kanchanaburi has a more recent historical link. Situated on the River Kwai, it now lives in infamy for the bridge built over it by prisoners of war during World War II. Nearby, the war cemetery and museum to the Thailand – Burma Railway covers Hellfire Pass which can be visited on a half or full day tour.

Southern Thailand

The Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea dominate the southern region of Thailand. Beach resorts abound in Pattaya and Hua Hin in the north which are just a few hours from the capital making Bangkok a hassle-free gateway. These resort cities are popular with visitors looking for a blend of city and beach life.

To the south in the Gulf of Thailand, the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan, and Koh Tao on the east coast offer holiday-makers the exotic island life with resorts ranging from budget to ultra-luxury. Each island has its own atmosphere with Koh Samui being the most popular with its own airport and beaches ideal for those looking for sun and sand.

Koh Pha Ngan is more rustic with only a few luxury resorts and a backpacker atmosphere due to the famous full moon parties held at the southern tip. Kho Tao is a quiet and peaceful island with some of the best diving in the country. Accessed by a ferry from Koh Samui, the rugged coastline dips into crystal clear waters abundant with reefs and marine life. Although beaches are rare, the luxury resorts have infinity pools, restaurants, and rooms with endless views.

The most popular beach destinations in Thailand are located on the west coast. Phuket and Khao Lak offer the ability to mix a primarily beach holiday with a little culture, and possibly a cooking class or nature walk. With several beachfront resorts within easy reach of shopping precincts, dining options, and establishments to quench the thirst, the area is also well known for its access to Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay with towering limestone cliffs and soft sandy beaches. Krabi, lying on the opposite side of the bay, is another idyllic setting on the Andaman Sea. With luxury resorts in quiet beach-lined bays, a bustling town, rugged limestone cliffs, and places to explore and excite, both Krabi and Phuket can be reached with just one connection from the UK.
