Thailand

Thailand will take your senses on an astonishing adventure:

You will taste food unlike any other. Igniting your taste buds with mouthfuls of salty, sweet, sour, and highly spiced flavours. You’ll be rubbing your eyes when you see Thailands tropical islands, emerald forests and mountain top golden temples. You cannot escape beautiful scenery here, everywhere seems photoshopped with the brightest hues and vibrant detail. And while the inner-city smells may be seeped in diesel fumes, I cannot think of Thailand without the perfumed memory of eye-watering chilli , coriander, and lemongrass smoke pouring out of street food woks.

Even after the aches of trekking in Chiang Mai or snorkelling in Koh Tao, your body will enter new realms of relaxation during masterful Thai massages or from the gentle lulling sound of the ocean and warmth of the sun. This ocean soundtrack breaks into a chorus of beeping and bartering as you head citybound. Yet even in the bustling markets of Bangkok, you can hear the bird call of the Asian Koel a reminder of the wilderness beyond the city outskirts.

During Thailand’s chaotic sensory journey, there are three guarantees – Bangkok will never fall silent, bland dishes are a myth and you will never be far from a local’s smile.

I’ve heard Thailand labelled as ‘overwhelming’ and at times you will feel lost in the beautiful chaos of it all, but embrace it. Immerse yourself in their culture, carve out your own adventure and I bet you you’ll leave smiling too.
