Expert Tips

“Apart from the most upmarket restaurants and shops, Thailand is very much a cash-based economy so your credit card won’t be much use on a day-to-day basis. Make sure you carry enough Thai baht in small denominations to cover your everyday purchases, especially if you are travelling to places where ATMs are few and far between, such as the more remote islands in Thailand.”

“If you ever find yourself on the vibrant isle of Koh Phangan be sure to taste the island’s specialities called No Names. These spicy little fritters are served with a delicate dipping sauce and are perfect with a cold Chang beer or a coconut and pineapple milkshake – bliss.”
Thailand Multi-centre
Our multi-centre holidays balance the high-energy vibe of Thailand’s cosmopolitan capital with the serene, blue-green waters of the country’s stunning islands.
Best Time to Visit Thailand
May and June are also good times to visit the country. The crowds are fewer, and the weather is warm though you might experience an odd shower or two in June.
Things to Do in Thailand
While you will find finger-licking-good street food almost everywhere in Bangkok, the best places to try out Thailand’s delectable street fare are Yaowarat in Chinatown and the Bang Rak area.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the time difference between the UK and Thailand?
Thailand is seven hours ahead of the UK.
2. What is the best mode of transportation in Thailand?
Flights are the quickest and most comfortable way to reach Thailand’s major cities and islands.
Thailand has a good public and private bus network, which is a good option if you want to travel to offbeat destinations that don’t have an accessible airport or railway connectivity.
The best way to see Bangkok is by Metro or Skytrain. The city has good bus connectivity and taxis are also available easily.
In cities such as Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai or Phuket that lack a good public transportation network, the best choice is to hire a rental car with a chauffeur. For a more local experience, you can travel by tuk-tuk; just be sure to sharpen your bargaining skills!
3. What is the food like in Thailand?
Thai food is an irresistible mix of sweet, spicy, sour and hot flavours and features rice, noodles, salads and curries. Shrimp paste and fish sauce are used for flavouring many of the dishes. Seafood features prominently in Thai cuisine.
Popular Thai dishes include Pad Thai (stir fried rice noodles), Khao Pad (fried rice), coconut milk-based Tom Yum soup, raw papaya and mango salad, red, yellow, green and Panang curry. Finish your meal with the ubiquitous mango sticky rice.
Street food is incredibly popular in Thailand, and you will never be too far from a stall serving piping hot Thai classics.
Every year, Thailand celebrates a ten-day long Vegetarian Festival in the ninth lunar month according to the Chinese calendar. While this is observed across the country, the most prominent celebrations take place in Phuket. A wide range of vegan dishes is available at restaurants across the country during this period.
4. Which islands are best for families and couples in Thailand?
With their pristine beaches and luxury accommodations, Koh Samui and Koh Lipe are the perfect island getaways for couples and honeymooners.
Family-friendly resorts and activities make Koh Samui the best pick for families with children.
5. What are the top nightlife activities to discover in Thailand?
Bangkok lights up as the sun goes down and offers plenty of after-dark adventures to embark upon on your holidays to Thailand.
Take in the city’s sparkling skyline from one of its many rooftop bars, grab a bite at a night market or enjoy a nighttime cruise on the Chao Phraya river. The city is known for its extravagant live shows; take your pick from entertaining puppet shows, Muay Thai (Thai boxing) or grand dance performances.
Phuket and Pattaya are also known for their colourful nightlife scene.
6. What are the top cultural attractions in Thailand?
Here are the top cultural attractions that you should not miss on your Thailand holidays:
- Learn about Buddhist culture at Bangkok’s temples
- Marvel at the art and architecture of Chiang Rai’s stunning temples
- Sign up for a Thai cooking class
- Visit Bangkok’s bustling markets
- Participate in a local festival (the Songkran festival takes place in April, and the Loy Krathong Festival in November)
