Thailand has become an increasingly popular holiday destination in recent years, thanks to its famously cheap prices, stunning Southeast Asian countryside and its popularity with world travellers. The country is close by to exotic locations like Burma, Vietnam and Malaysia, which makes it an ideal spot for the classic Asia tour.
The architecture in Thailand is vastly different to the UK, so don’t be surprised if your Thailand hotels have some impressive twists and turns. Of course on your stay you’ll have to check out the lavish Buddhist temples like Wat Phra Kaew in bustling Bangkok. The impressive prickly architecture varies from temple to temple, giving each one their own individual charm. The ornate Grand Palace sits neatly inside the city, and is open to visitors between 8.30am and 3.30pm local time. You won’t find it difficult to find an English speaking guide to take you around the Palace, with tours readily available on entrance. Once you’ve begun to learn about Thai culture, you might want to see the Anata Samakhom Throne Hall. This famous area within Dusit Palace is now a museum with some fun and family-friendly educational things to learn, and is still used today for grander state occasions.
