Taking in Thailand’s Must-Sees
Every corner of Thailand brims with cultural treasures and natural wonders, making it an essential destination on any traveller’s list. Here are some must-see highlights for first-time visitors.
- Bangkok’s Grand Palace: Nestled in the heart of Thailand's bustling capital, the Grand Palace stands as a dazzling reminder of the country's rich heritage. The intricate architecture and historical significance make it a top attraction.
- Chiang Mai’s Temples: Known as the "Rose of the North," Chiang Mai is home to more than 300 temples. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, perched on a mountain, offers not just spiritual serenity but panoramic views of the city.
- Ayutthaya Historical Park: A UNESCO World Heritage site, Ayutthaya is a nod to Thailand's ancient glory. The park, dotted with ruins and statues, tells the tales of the kingdom's illustrious past.
- Phuket’s Beaches: For sun-seekers and aquatic enthusiasts, Phuket's beaches are paradise on Earth. From the vibrant Patong Beach to the secluded freedom of Nai Harn, there’s a stretch of sand for every mood.
Captivating Cultural Experiences
Immersing oneself in Thailand's culture is as enthralling as its landscapes.
- Floating Markets: An experience like no other, Thailand's floating markets offer a sensory overload of colours, scents, and sounds. Damnoen Saduak is famous amongst them, allowing visitors to paddle through canals lined with vendors selling everything from fresh produce to intricate handicrafts.
- Thai Cooking Classes: Discover the art of Thai cuisine through interactive cooking classes. Learn the delicate balance of flavours in dishes like Pad Thai and Green Curry from world-renowned chefs.
- Loy Krathong Festival: A festival of lights where thousands of lanterns illuminate the sky and krathongs, or floating baskets, drift down rivers, this celebration is a breathtaking festival of culture and tradition.
Savouring Thai Gastronomy
Thailand is a haven for food lovers, offering an array of culinary delights that capture the essence of its culture. From street food to refined dining, each meal is an adventure on its own.
- Street Food in Bangkok: The street food scene is a must-see, or rather, a must-taste. From spicy Tom Yum soups to sweet Mango Sticky Rice, street vendors serve up an authentic taste of Thailand that you can’t miss.
- Signature Dishes: Don't leave without trying traditional staples like Som Tum (spicy green papaya salad) or Massaman Curry.
- Local Markets: For a deeply immersive experience, visit local markets like Chatuchak or Chiang Mai’s Night Bazaar, where culinary and cultural exploration go hand in hand.

- Tour Packages: For a seamless journey, explore some of the best travel packages to Thailand. These packages often include guided tours, ensuring that you don't miss any of the essential sights and sounds.
- Weather Considerations: Thailand's tropical climate means it's warm all year round, but watch out for the monsoon season between June and October. This can affect travel plans if unprepared.

What do the experts say?
Thailand is a friendly destination with fun & warm people, great food, and impressive cultural and beach experiences. Simply wandering neighbourhoods, visiting temples, shops & viewpoints, and eating at local restaurants are what I enjoy most when visiting Thailand. The south of Thailand is a special location with beautiful scenery and a seemingly laid back lifestyle, so visiting this area is always a special and memorable experience.
The experience of travelling from island to island on longtail boats in the south of Thailand is something that still resonates with me after many years.
For families, visiting a sustainable community in Koh Yao Yai can bring the trip to life with local interaction. For honeymooners, personalizing memorable experiences with special menus, in-room dining and more can really elevate the experience for Goway guests.
All the people that I met at the hotel, restaurants, and parks were always smiling at me. I can feel that they are grateful to all international tourists. A Thai smile inspires me most and makes me want to revisit.

SoleWhile researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla BThe most amazing experience with Goway!! Phoebe did an amazing job planing the best trip to Paris, Florence and Venice with a great mix of relaxing and adventure days. Will be recommending to other travellers. Always someone available which is great when you are travelling in different time zones. Overall cannot be more happy with our experience working with Goway Lauren BouwOur rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa WildesAs a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish.
Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary.
Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations.
My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done.
Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!BeataOur family trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely incredible, thanks to RuthAnne Leonty. Every tour was thoughtfully organized and the guides were top-notch. The private transportation and transfers were flawless, making everything run smoothly with zero stress from start to finish. Not a single hiccup...just an amazing experience!BarbWe booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil BraunWe booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.StanleyWe booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8.
If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John
