Thailand's buzzing capital city Bangkok is a dynamic city with a lot to offer the tourist. It mixes the traditional and the modern with lavish golden temples dotted between new modern hotels and offices. The roads are full of people, rickshaws and cars and the Chao Praya River that runs through the city has an abundance of boats, river taxis and long tailed boats transporting people around the clock.

Golden sand and turquoise seas characterise most of Thailand's coastline and the popular islands in the south. Ko Samui, Ko Phagn Nagn and Ko Phi Phi are the most well known and popular islands. All have stunning beaches fully equipped with both backpacker and luxury accommodation, great nightlife and watersport facilities. Thailand's famous monthly full moon party takes place on Koh Phang Nagn, in the town of Hat Rin. Beach bars with lights and music on the beach enabling the party to continue for over 24 hours. Ko Phi Phi has the most dramatic landscape of all the islands and is home to the famous Maya Bay where 'The Beach' was filmed in 1999.
