Thailand, a jewel in Southeast Asia, is known for tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples displaying figures of Buddha. Thai culture is deeply influenced by religion. With around 95% of the country being Theraveda Buddhist, the belief system and values of Buddhism play a huge role in day-to-day life. Thai cuisine expresses fundamental aspects of Thai culture: it is generous, warm, refreshing and relaxed. Thai dishes rely on fresh, local ingredients: pungent lemongrass, searing chillies and plump seafood. With a luxuriously long coastline and over 1400 jungle-topped islands anchored in azure waters, Thailand is a tropical getaway for beach lovers. Our journey to this amazing land begins with an early morning arrival at Phuket, a rainforested, mountainous island in the Andaman Sea, has some of Thailand’s most popular beaches.
