Hello from Bangkok!
As we step into the beautiful month of May, our team in Thailand is preparing to welcome travellers seeking sun, serenity and adventure in the Land of Smiles.
This month marks several important national events, including Coronation Day (4–5 May) and Visakhabhucha Day (11–12 May), a sacred Buddhist holiday celebrated with peaceful rituals across the country. Please note that our office in Thailand will be closed on these dates.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to announce our participation in TTM+ 2025, taking place in Chiang Mai from 4–6 June. We look forward to meeting with our valued partners and showcasing the best of Thailand to the global travel community.
Our destination spotlight for May is Hua Hin and Pranburi—charming seaside escapes just 2.5 hours from Bangkok. These coastal towns offer a wide range of accommodations, from boutique stays to luxury beachfront resorts, making them ideal for families, couples or group travellers.
For those seeking a closer connection with nature, Kui Buri National Park is a must-visit. Located near Hua Hin, it’s one of the best places in Thailand to spot wild elephants and experience the country’s natural beauty up close. This wildlife adventure combines perfectly with a relaxing beach stay.
We’re currently welcoming group and family tours from Europe, with growing interest in Thailand’s diverse mix of culture, coastline and cuisine. And as it’s now shoulder season, there are plenty of great value offers available from our partner resorts nationwide.
As always, we’re here to support your needs and provide the local insight that turns a good itinerary into a truly unforgettable holiday. Let’s make this season one to remember—together.
Best wishes,
