Avila Reizen introduces you to the Land of Smiles

Thailand, also known as the 'Land of Smiles', is particularly interesting as a first introduction to Southeast Asia. The country is known for its beautiful beaches, rich culture, historical sights and delicious cuisine. Avila Reizen would like to introduce you to this enchanting destination.

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is according to Avila Travel a vibrant metropolis that embodies a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Here you can enjoy impressive temples and a wide choice of culinary offerings. Wander the narrow alleys of the Chatuchak Weekend Market, where colorful stalls offer an incredible array of goods ranging from handmade crafts to exotic spices. A beautiful boat trip through this “Venice of the East” will introduce you to the less touristy side of the city and the warmth of the local people.

For real nature lovers

For nature lovers, the north of Thailand is a true paradise with lush green hills, waterfalls and impressive national parks. Chiang Mai, the largest city in the north, offers the opportunity to enjoy adventurous jungle treks and learn about the unique culture of the hill tribes. According to the tour company, there is no better way to appreciate the Thai countryside here than with a sunrise hot air balloon ride.

Places like Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi, located in the southern region of Thailand, are famous for their breathtaking beaches, crystal clear waters and countless water sports options. Explore mangrove forests, limestone cliffs, caves and lagoons by private yacht, or go diving and snorkeling to discover the colorful underwater world. The Andaman Sea offers an enchanting spectacle with colorful corals, tropical fish and an abundance of marine life.

Something for everyone

Thailand also has a rich history and offers many historical sites. Enjoy the many Buddha statues and impressive temples in the ancient royal city of Ayutthaya and board the train at Kanchanaburi to travel the last part of the infamous Burma railway. Thailand is also a country steeped in traditions and festivals, such as the spectacular Songkran water festival, where the entire country unites in a gigantic water fight.

The friendliness and hospitality of the Thai people make traveling through this country even more special. Whether you are looking for adventure, relaxation, culture or a culinary journey, Thailand has something for everyone…
