A quick travel guide to Thailand

Santhiya Koh Phangan Resort & Spa

22/7 Moo 5 Bantai District, Ko Pha-ngan District, Surat Thani 84280, Thailand

An eco-chic hideaway in the Gulf of Thailand, this tropical resort boasts warm teakwood interiors and 18 acres of glorious natural landscapes. The private beach is set in a crystal-clear bay, with lush forests surrounding clifftop accommodation. Take a cookery class or join a yoga session, unwind at the Ayurvana Spa, and relax by the shimmering waters of the giant outdoor pool, before choosing from no less than six dining options, including room service.

Banyan Tree Krabi

279 Tambon Nongtalay Amphoe Muang Krabi 81180, Thailand

If there’s one thing that can make a dream family vacation even better, it’s being able to take an occasional break from the kids and have some me-time. With an on-site kids’ club for ages four to 12, plus babysitting services, you can kick back and relax whenever you choose – perhaps by indulging in a luxury spa treatment, or a meal at one of four upmarket restaurants without anyone demanding chicken nuggets! Add a secluded beach, watersports, saltwater pool, and fitness center, and you’ve got the whole family entertained.

Capella Bangkok

300 2 ถ. เจริญกรุง Yan Nawa, Sathon, Bangkok 10120, Thailand

For the ultimate in luxury, the five-star Capella is a real treat. This low-rise gateway to the glistening waters of the Chao Phraya River is a true urban oasis, serving as a sanctuary from the bustle of modern life. Have your every whim catered to, from gourmet dining crafted by a three Michelin-starred chef to tailored wellness treatments at the luxury spa. A Capella Culturist is on hand throughout your stay to help you make the most of any experiences you desire, both within the hotel and around the city.

Krachang Khao Lak

78/155 Moo.5 Lam Kaen, Thai Muaeng Phang Nga82210 Thai Mueang, Mueang Phang-nga District, Phang Nga 82210, Thailand

Somewhat of a hidden gem until now, this coastal neighborhood restaurant has recently been discovered by the Michelin Guide, and is highly recommended – get in now before it becomes impossible to book. The vibe is laid-back tropical; the indoor/outdoor dining areas are warm and rustic, and the service is welcoming and friendly. As you might expect from a beachfront restaurant, the menu is very seafood-forward, with a specials board highlighting the daily live catch. Seasonality means you may never encounter the same dish twice. However, expect plates such as local sashimi, soft-shell crab, and Tom Yum Goong soup, packed with mixed fresh seafood.

Thipsamai Padthai Pratoopee

313, 315 Maha Chai Road, Samran Rat, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand

Thailand, and Bangkok in particular, are famous for street food, and no visit would be complete without sampling delicious fare from a street food vendor. Combine that with a westerner’s love of pad Thai, and Thipsamai Padthai Pratoopee is a must-visit. Renowned among locals and tourists alike as serving some of the best pad Thai in the city, with a signature secret sauce that will keep you guessing – and ordering seconds. The menu is short and simple.

The House of Smooth Curry

61 Wireless Road, Lumphini, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand

This aptly named gem specializes in authentic Thai curries, focusing on local and sustainable ingredients. Over 80% of the produce used is organic, and many of the recipes are taken from royal menus. Only the best and freshest ingredients make it into chef Montri Jiratitankit’s kitchen, where he takes inspiration from classic culinary techniques learnt from his mother. The farm-to-table-style menu features dishes such as deep-fried organic prawn spring rolls with plum sauce, sweet and sour soup with fresh seabass and ginger, and the signature Chef Ton’s Mother’s Curry – free-range chicken simmered in coconut milk with banana blossoms, tamarind juice, and roasted herbs and spices.

Explore Sukhothai Historical Park

498 12, Mueang Kao, Mueang Sukhothai District, Sukhothai 64210, Thailand

Sukhothai translates to “dawn of happiness” – an apt name, given that this historical site represents the golden era of civilization in Thailand. One of the most impressive World Heritage sites in the country, sprawling over 27 square miles, this collection of ruins from the 13th and 14th centuries comprises a mixture of ancient royal palaces and Buddhist temples, surrounded by city walls, gates, and a moat. The park is divided into five distinct zones and contains over 200 individual historical sites.

Go beach-hopping

There are so many exquisite beaches in Thailand that to do the country justice, you really have to visit more than one. Each has its own unique vibe and spectacular scenery. Try Patong in Phuket or Chaweng in Koh Samui for vibrant nightlife on the sands. For a family trip to remember, Klong Dao in Koh Lanta offers calm, shallow waters and a variety of water sports. Railay Beach in Krabi has some of the most dramatic scenery, with striking limestone rock formations. Or, for something off the beaten track, the unspoiled shores of Koh Lipe are something of a hidden gem.

Shop at a floating market

There are floating markets across Thailand, carrying on the tradition of a country that primarily used canals and rivers as trading routes for centuries. Vendors sell goods from boats moored along the waterways – browse as you walk along the banks or hire a small boat or pedal boat to shop from the water. Damnoen Saduak is the largest and most famous, but therefore most touristy. If you prefer a bit more local color, try Taling Chan for a more tranquil experience, or Amphawa, which is known for its firefly tours and evening seafood.
