1. Bangkok

Bangkok is a city like no other on earth, let alone in Thailand, and once visited it's never forgotten. What makes Bangkok so enchanting is that it's a city of great contrasts, where ancient and modern sit side by side with each other in perfect harmony. Whether old or new, it's all exquisitely beautiful, and if you're looking to let your hair down, it really comes to life at night with its great variety of bars and nightclubs. For a more tranquil activity, head to Bangkok's famous night markets by the wide expanse of the Chao Phraya river. They're a shopper's paradise, and a great place to buy souvenirs for those at home.

2. Phuket

Phuket is the holiday island you've always dreamed of, and it has some of the world's most stunning beaches, as well as a beautiful warm climate all year round. If you're looking for an unspoilt area of Phuket away from the crowds then Mai Khao is a great choice, as it has a traditional, unspoilt feel as well as an inviting golden beach. There is also a plentiful supply of Mai Khao beach hotels, and rooms in a Holiday Inn Resort hotel cost much less than you might imagine for luxurious accommodation in such a beautiful part of the world.

 

3. Chiang Mai

Bangkok is the exciting, vibrant heart of Thailand, and Phuket resorts like Mai Khao are a great place to relax and top up the tan, but if you want to see the country in all its natural glory then Chiang Mai is a great choice. Chiang Mai is in the mountainous region of northern Thailand, and it's one of the wonders of the world. It has outstanding natural beauty thanks to its mountains, jungles, and river, but it also has a huge number of stunning Buddhist temples, fortifications, and other historic buildings. There are also museums and traditional shopping centres, as well as elephant sanctuaries where you can see these majestic creatures up close and in their natural habitat.

Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Bangkok represent the diversity of Thailand: they're all very different centers, and yet all of them will take the breath away. They're great choices for a holiday whether you're a solo traveler, with your family or friends, or taking a romantic break with your loved one. If you have the time, combining a vacation spent in Bangkok with time in Phuket or Chiang Mai will give you great moments that stay with you for the rest of your life.
