Matched only by the calibre of its world class beaches, remarkable scenery and turquoise blue seas is Thailand’s impressive repertoire of luxury hotels. We’ve handpicked our favourite luxury resorts from across Thailand, just perfect for celebrating a special occasion, indulging on a once in a lifetime holiday or escaping on an exclusive getaway with a loved one. Expect unspoilt beaches, undiscovered locations and ultimate luxury on a holiday that is just for you.
Thailand has it all, from the lush green jungles of the north to the crystal clear blue warm waters of the south, Thailand is as diverse as you could dare imagine. The country is a mosaic of Buddhist temples, varied wildlife, mysterious hill tribes, delicious cuisine and wonderfully welcoming people who give Thailand its name as the Land of Smiles. Even though Thailand is one of the most popular destinations in Asia, it is still full of surprises at every turn. Get off the beaten track on a trek in the north or find yourself on a secluded beach on one of its idyllic islands for a truly memorable holiday in Thailand.
There is so much to do in Bangkok, you could easily while away a few days here or even a week. But if you’re just stopping off en route to somewhere else, here’s what Nathan would do with 24 hours in Bankgkok…
Few destinations encapsulate the enduring charm of Asia quite like Thailand. Its intoxicating allure is woven into the fabric of its beach escapes, spa retreats and island resorts but nowhere more so than in its ever-growing collection of boutique hotels. From romantic jungle retreats, to luxury beachfront hideaways and off the beaten track boltholes, we’ve rounded up our favourite boutique properties for a unique stay in Thailand.
Famed for its white sand beaches and amazing food, Thailand is normally the first stop for people who want to experience Asia. The trouble we have is that people increasingly associate it with busy beaches and backpacker bars. Thailand however still has some amazing hidden gems, here are a few of our favourite beaches that are away from the tourist-trodden path…
Whilst we don’t offer elephant riding, nor do we encourage it, we have searched Thailand high and low for the most ethical ways to see them without the shackles of elephantourism. At Elephant Hills Tented Camp, located in the Khao Sok National Park, the elephants’ welfare is at the very heart of everything they do. There, you can spend two to four days interacting with the elephants and learning about their conservation, all whilst sleeping amidst the sights and sounds of the wildlife rich national park.
Further north in Chiang Rai, at the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp, you can pair ultimate relaxation with a myriad of elephant focussed experiences. Learn from mahouts about elephant biology, behaviour and conservation, walk with the animals en route to a yoga class or enjoy a picnic with only the elephants for company. This is the perfect place to get up close to these incredible animals in a sustainable and ethical way.
Also in northern Thailand, the Elephant Nature Park is the perfect spot to spend a day with these incredible animals. Set up over 20 years ago to protect Thailand’s abused elephants and provide them with emergency treatment, the Elephant Nature Park, has elephant conservation at its core. It is a fantastic place to enhance your understanding of conservation efforts across Thailand whilst learning more about the individual elephants at the park. Help with feeding and bathing time or even take a walk with the animals on a truly enlightening and rewarding day out whilst staying in nearby Chiang Mai.
Within easy reach from the capital is the Elephant Nature Park’s sister project, Elephant Haven, established in 2015. Situated near Kanchanaburi, the park is a beautiful green space where elephants roam freely and you can spend the day bathing, feeding, walking and playing with them for that much needed nature fix and an escape from the bustle of Bangkok.
Learning about the incredible projects underway across Thailand which strive to protect Thailand’s captive elephant population is a hugely important and incredibly rewarding addition to your holiday itinerary. Speak to one of our specialists today about planning your elephant encounter.
