CultureBeachesStreet FoodIslands

Thailand blends ornate temples, legendary street food, tropical islands and famously warm hospitality — all at superb value. Bangkok's buzz, Chiang Mai's temples and the beaches of Phuket, Krabi and the islands make it one of the most rewarding first international trips for Indian travellers.

Best time to visit Thailand

November to March is the best time to visit Thailand — dry, sunny and ideal for the islands and beaches. April is very hot (and Songkran water-festival season), while the June–October monsoon is greener, cheaper and still fine on the Gulf coast around Koh Samui.

Top things to do in Thailand

  • Temple-hop Bangkok — the Grand Palace and Wat Arun
  • Island-hop around Phuket, Phi Phi and Krabi
  • Feast on street food and shop the floating markets
  • See the Phang Nga Bay limestone karsts by longtail boat
  • Visit an ethical elephant sanctuary near Chiang Mai
  • Catch a cabaret or Muay Thai night
  • Relax on Koh Samui or Koh Phangan

Bangkok plus which beach?

Most trips start in Bangkok, then head south to the Andaman coast (Phuket, Krabi — best Nov–Apr) or the Gulf (Koh Samui — good even in the western monsoon). We match the beach to your travel dates for the best weather.

Great for first-timers

English is widely spoken in tourist areas, flights from India are short, and it's easy on the budget — which is why Thailand is such a popular first overseas holiday. We handle visa-on-arrival guidance and transfers.

Insider tip: Split your time between one city and one island rather than rushing several — you'll actually relax, and the internal flights are cheap and quick.
