Known by the locals as Krung Thep, Thailand’s capital city is a sprawling, sweaty fusion of old and new, where towering skyscrapers emerge from crumbling pavements, and historic temples are circled by colourful tuk tuk cabs and monks clad in vibrant orange robes.

Once a small trading post for the 15th century Ayutthaya Kingdom, this thriving metropolis is now home to over 10 million souls, and is considered one of Asia’s premier tourist destinations. Whether you explore the capital’s historic district, hone your haggling skills at one of the many markets, brave the red light district or fill up on world-famous street food, there is something for everyone in this ever-evolving city.

Family-friendly Thailand

The best family-friendly places to visit in Thailand

Thailand has been working hard in recent years to shed its reputation as a backpacker party hub, and reinvent itself as a family-friendly travel destination. You’re probably familiar with the country’s main tourism hotspots; Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and the more famous islands. But there’s much more to Thailand than makes it into the travel brochures, and venturing just a few steps off the well-trodden path can be hugely rewarding...read more

High life in Bangkok, City of Angels, jetting on to Koh Samui to be pampered in a hideaway hotel before island hopping to Koh Phangan where your barefoot luxury is a Thailand boutique hotel set beside a perfect crescent bay.

On our Barefoot luxury holiday in Thailand you’ll quickly realise there really is such a thing as paradise. The islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Siam are beach holiday perfection. They are the kind of places where you can imagine Man Friday running around on the pure white sand in his loincloth. And if you swap the loin cloth for this season’s Orlebar Browns you’re perfectly kitted out. As they say in Thailand, ‘same same but different’ – same setting different outfit. This is a luxury Thailand holiday that will deliver for even the most discerning of Yonderers.

When it comes to honeymoons, Thailand has it all. Everything from beautiful beaches, to magnificent mountains home to remote tribes and ethical elephant sanctuaries, to bonkers Bangkok with all its vibrant facets. And as if this wasn’t enough, we’ve uncovered exquisite hotels that make perfect honeymoon retreats.

We’ve carefully woven an exciting honeymoon starting in Bangkok, where the two of you will get out on foot and by boat to explore the city streets. After a couple of days taking in the sites, sounds and tastes of the City of Angels, you’ll journey north to the lush landscapes of Chiang Mai to hang out with elephants and explore the countryside by bicycle. By this time, the beach will be beckoning and you’ll jet southwards toward Phuket, transferring by speedboat to the far-flung island of Koh Racha.

In Yonder’s humble opinion, the land of smiles is the ultimate year-round family holiday destination. Rich history, exciting culture and beautiful beaches make Thailand family holidays a true treat for children of all ages. The promised land for most parents is to ensure the trip is entirely hassle-free whilst ensuring that their little darlings have their horizons broadened and actively occupied. And Thailand consistently delivers both.

The simplest formulas are often the best and on this tried and tested itinerary we think we’ve nailed the two-week family getaway. Bangkok and beach, with plenty of eye-opening and fun filled experiences included.
