Thailand

Something for every type of traveller

When you hear Thailand, you instantly think of lush jungles, famed beaches, world class diving, amazing food, friendly people and cheap prices. And you’re spot on with that. Thailand has a lot of offer travellers - no matter your budget.

You can have an epic backpacking experience on a very limited budget, or you can live the life of luxury in stunning beachfront resorts. While it might be easy to let time drift by as you sip cocktails beside the pool, the best way to get the most out of a trip to Thailand is to explore everything this vast place has to offer. Make sure to check out the lavish Grand Palace in the heart of Bangkok, visit the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and take a trip to the stunning Koh Phi Phi islands. Thailand has a lot to offer every type of traveller, which makes it an equally perfect spot for a getaway with family or friends.

Things you should know about Thailand

Bartering for a better price at the local markets is a fun and friendly way to interact with the locals and take home some unique souvenirs. Just remember these locals' livelihoods are on the line, so don’t be the tourist fighting over a single dollar. It means a lot more to them than it does to you.

Us Kiwis are a pretty laid back bunch so you’re bound to fit in with the Thai locals. Which means you’ll definitely hear them saying “Mai pen rai” quite often. It’s basically the Thai version of “sweet as” and means don’t stress mate, everything is going to be all good.

Don't feed the monkeys. They’re cute, playful and totally different to anything you’ll experience on a New Zealand beach. But, be warned … while these cute little mates seem like great friends to have for a beach day, the reality is that they’re always on the lookout for a treat. So don’t be tempted to hand over your snacks because you might end up with a pesky monkey trying to steal your bags!
