Bangkok & Beyond

There is so much more to Thailand than the beaches so why not add a few days experiencing more of this exciting country. International flights routing through Bangkok usually allow a stopover there. Flights or Private Transfers can easily be arranged to other parts of the country.

Bangkok

The vibrant and buzzing Thai capital is well worth a visit especially if you have a return flight from here. Go to the Grand Palace, get a Thai massage from the Wat Pho massage school (about £9/hour), cruise the Chao Phraya river and its klongs (canals), shop at the giant air conditioned malls using the sleek sky train to avoid the notorious traffic jams, take a high speed ride in a tuk tuk (after careful negotiation!) then calm your nerves with a drink at the Vertigo roof top bar above the city centre.
