Thailand is a diverse and colourful Southeast-asian jewel, with beautiful jungles in the north and serene beaches in the south. Explore the temples in Chiang Mai by day and visit the markets at night. How about learning to dive on the island of Ko Tao, or partying the night away in Ko Phangan – all the islands are easily accessible by local ferries. You’ll be well fed in Thailand – why not take a cooking class and try your hand at making Massaman curry, spicy Tom Yum soup and of course the legendary Pad Thai.
