T H A I L A N D
THE COUNTRY THAT TOUCHES ALL SENSES
Lounging on stunning, sandy beaches, with crystal-clear blue seas, overhung with palm trees. Exploring glittering, golden temples deep in lush-emerald jungle. Tucking into fresh and fragrant curries from street stalls and whizzing through the streets on the ubiquitous tuk-tuks around the lively cities.
This is Thailand; a feast for all senses.
To really relax in paradise, travel south to the tropical, coral-reef fringed islands Koh Samui and Phuket. Here, the pace is slow and it's easy to forget about life back home when relaxing in a hammock with a cocktail in hand or enjoying a traditional Thai massage overlooking the glistening, aquamarine sea.
In contrary, things are much more fast paced in Bangkok, which beckons urban explorers, business travellers and honeymooners with its mix of spicy street food, sacred spaces and spectacular skyscrapers.
Each day spent in Thailand will dazzle all of your senses and fill you with endless wonder. Whichever enchanting experience you wish to endure, we can help you. Contact our travel experts today and lets start designing an escape that will enchant you.
When to go?
The best time to visit Thailand is between November and March, when rain is less common and temperature is more manageable.
Where to stay?
Six Senses, Koh Samui
With direct access to the beach, this resort sits on the tip of Samui island, sloping down to the sea. Many of the villas concealed within the grounds have private pools and impressive views of the Gulf of Thailand. The balmy days can be filled with spa treatments, yoga by sunset, jungle exploration, catamaran excursions and diving sessions. Children will be kept just as entertained with everything from coconut painting to bowling.
Dining is a serious affair and the resort is renowned for its restaurants - with one jutting out over the waters and the other set up in the hills, the backdrops will impress as much as the cuisine.

Layan Residences by Anantara, Phuket

Forget tables altogether with poolside snacks and personalised cocktails from the bar, or dine right on the sand or in your villas for a more intimate experience.
