THAILAND.
Bangkok is everything visitors expect an
Asian city to be – exhilarating, with large
doses of traditional charm. Highlights
include exotic royal palaces, ancient
Buddhist temples and floating markets.
When the sun sets, the capital’s famous
nightlife kicks into gear. There are venues to
suit all tastes, from modern restaurants to
bars of a more dubious nature.
Northern Thailand’s Golden Triangle,
bordering Laos and Burma, is in complete
contrast. The region’s gateway, Chiang Mai,
which is a 70-minute flight from the capital,
is a good base from which to explore rural
villages, rice fields, elephant camps, jungle
and hill tribes.
Set on the Ping river, Chiang Mai is home
to more than 300 temples, and also has an
excellent night market.

Chiang Mai add-on tour starts at £94. The
