From the bustling streets of Thailand’s vibrant capital to the serene beaches of Phuket, the allure of this Southeast Asian gem is irresistible.
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.
Practical Travel Tips
When planning your trips to Thailand, consider these practical tips to enhance your experience.
- 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.
- Dress Appropriately: When visiting temples, modest attire is required to respect local customs. Lightweight clothing is also advisable given the humidity.

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.

ExcellentBased on 5,231 ReviewsI just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CAHad an extremely great holiday in China and hongkong & Thailand! Quite a few $$$(More than what we had planned, but if you want top luxury and experience - never haggle) Ameet our destination specialist was prompt and professional. He gave us the right suggestions and planned our trip meticulously and without interruptions. Goway 24 x7 customer service is incredible and I would definitely book my next trip with Goway!
Angela WarrenGoWay promise became a full reality with flexibility to adjust to life events such as 12 hours flight delay from Navegantes airport to Galeao airport.AVELINO LimaWe recently took at trip to China. We toured Bejing, Xi'an and Shanghai. We had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect. The Guides were very friendly and knowledgeable.

It was everything we had hoped for.
Thanks you very much Goway.
Sharon LevyOur Agent Katie Stephenson is what made this trip amazing...!! I mean the trip was great in itself...!!
Katie worked with me planning a getaway to Australia for my wife's 60th b-day... After going through a few dates and activities...I realized Our passports were going to be expired a few days before...!!
Katie helped us get them expedited...She changed dates and activities to fit out 2 weeks I planned...I moved the dates a few times & Katie adjusted...
Katies availability and response time we great. Whether it was via email, phone she was available.... even with time difference she would get back at a good time...
So, my wife and I had an amazing time..Melbourne then on to Cairns and lastly Sydney...!!
Katie planned morning excursions...1/2 day trips and full day trips...we had a blast..!!
I am grateful to Katie for working with me and making this trip an amazing experience. Katie & GoWay Travel reps. were available even while we were in Australia..
Great time, great experience and Katie was a huge part in making it happen...Thank you for an amazing time Katie/GoWay Travel..RSE- Development CorpI was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel!

Tony and Rose Ferreira sharkman TonyThis was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia TourIngrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed. Paula Hall-KeefeThe booking processs was really easy. Katie was very communicative and was very responsive. Every change we asked for, she quickly replied. The room arrangements had a small hiccupp but Katie fixed it within minutes! All the excursions were a blast and well planned.
The trip was a bucket list trip and was everything we hoped for. Alison H
