Bangkok is a frenetic metropolis encompassing both Thailands ancient history and the needs of a modern fast growing city. A transportation revolution has taken place in the last 10 years with the opening of the skytrain and subway making movement around the city much easier.

Chiang Mai is a modern city that has not forsaken its simple but unique charm. Temples from the Lanna Era stand along side skyscarpers in the central area, refelcting the city's glory of old.

First developed in the 1920s as a weekend retreat for the well-healed in Bangkok, the towns of Hua Hin and Cha Am lie side by side and offer a relaxing holiday experience.

Translated as 'The Island of the Coconut Tree', Koh Samui was first visited by travellers in the 1970's and is now a favourite holiday destination for the British. A tropical paradise with great nightlife, the island still maintains an atmosphere that is distinctly local.

The limestone cliffs and caves of Krabi and the surrounding areas provide a spectacular backdrop to some of Thailand's best beaches and the crystal clear waters of the Andaman Sea.

Less than 100 miles from Bangkok, Pattaya offers a first class beach resort with an outstanding selection of restaurants, bars and nightlife.

Phuket is a hilly island on the Andaman coast with excellent beaches on its west coast where most of the resort properties can be found.
