Visiting Thailand is an opportunity that most travellers often pass up in favour of more glamorous holidays elsewhere. But this gem of a country can provide a Far East holiday that should not be missed for any adventurer wishing to immerse themselves in a culture far beyond that of any modern destination.
As a UK citizen you can enter Thailand for up to 30 days on your passport without a visa, so long as you have a return ticket and proof that you are staying no longer than a month. Hotel accommodation and travel through the country is relatively modern, and hassle-free.
The northern region of Thailand is a picturesque landscape of beauty and wonder. This is a region of forests and mountains, rivers and waterfalls, all set against a fantasy landscape of mist and fog that capture the allure of the magical. The hills are full of tribes whose cultures and customs are steeped in tradition, and the handcrafted products are a great way to pick up souvenirs of your journey. You can raft down the rapids, hike or bike the mountain trails, or even experience an elephant safari.
The northern regions of Thailand are dotted with temples, museums, and historical sites that testify to this nation’s historical background. Your headquarters for travel will be the City of Chiang Mai, which is a modern hub and major city. From here you can stretch your legs and experience all there is to see while you experience your Far East holiday here in Thailand.
