From its intoxicating land of lush mountains and emerald green rice paddies, pristine beaches and jungle-clad islands, giant Buddhas and majestic temples - a heady mix of ancient cultural traditions, colourful religious festivals, fragrant cuisine and bustling cities, Thailand is a landscape that just begs you to get out on two feet and explore.

Cycle through picturesque countryside, trek to remote hill tribe villages and enjoy a homestay with a local family. Explore jungle-clad islands and white sand beaches, and kayak through the limestone caves and turquoise waters of southern Thailand's spectacular coastline. Slow down your pace with a visit to the tranquil, temple-laden northern capital of Chiang Mai, and then head to Pai for natural springs, waterfalls and stunning scenery.
