Central & Eastern Thailand

Central Thailand is the heart of the country, featuring historical Ayutthaya, and picturesque Kanchanaburi. Eastern Thailand is known for its stunning islands, including Koh Samet and Koh Chang, offering pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush natural landscapes for relaxation and adventure.

From the jagged mountain ranges that dominate Kanchanaburi’s horizons, to the many enchanting temples that dominate the former Thai capital Ayutthaya, it’s easy to see why Central Thailand is the cultural heartland of the country. Steeped in colourful history the majestic architecture in this region will leave you in awe.

Other highlights include the more traditional Thai beach towns of Hua Hin & Cha Am. Both towns are within close proximity to Bangkok by road transfer. Hua Hin & Cha Am are known for their traditional fishing ports with many local seafood restaurants and long stretches of sandy beach. The area also offers some of the best golf courses in Thailand.

Pattaya, is a vibrant coastal city known for its bustling nightlife, golden beaches, and diverse entertainment options. It offers a mix of traditional Thai culture and modern attractions, including water sports and lively markets.

Koh Samet is a charming island in the Gulf of Thailand, known for its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. It is a popular destination for sun-seekers and water sports enthusiasts. The island offers a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere with numerous beachside resorts, vibrant nightlife, and delicious seafood.

Koh Chang, the second-largest island in Thailand, is renowned for its untouched natural beauty. Dense rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and stunning beaches make it a paradise for nature lovers. Visitors can enjoy activities like snorkeling, diving, hiking, and exploring the Koh Chang National Park, home to a diverse range of flora and fauna

Koh Kood, a pristine tropical paradise in Thailand, beckons with its untouched beauty and tranquil ambience. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, this hidden gem offers stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush jungles waiting to be explored.
