Thailand

Bangkok temples, Chiang Mai’s old city, islands, and food that never stops — Thailand is Asia’s easiest deep dive.

Thailand works for a long weekend in Bangkok or a fortnight that mixes the capital, the north, and a beach. Start in Bangkok for temples (Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun), street food, and easy onward flights. Chiang Mai rewards a slower pace — Old City walls, Nimman cafés, and day trips into the hills.

Internal flights are cheap and frequent; overnight trains remain a classic Bangkok–Chiang Mai option. Rainy season is workable in the cities; islands need a closer look at monsoon patterns.
