It takes a short flight (1 hr) to Chiang Mai, which is the cultural capital of the north. Visit the Old City and the temples; Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh are two of the best places to visit in Thailand that should be seen.

• Afternoon: Drive to Doi Suthep Temple, where one can view the city in a panoramic manner.
• Evening: Chiang Mai Night Bazaar Shopping. Sample khao soi, a coconut curry noodle soup exclusive to northern Thailand.

This is a highlight of many trips. Spend the day at an ethical elephant sanctuary. Feed, walk and bathe elephants in a natural setting—no rides, no chains.

• Afternoon: Take a Thai cooking class. Learn to make spring rolls, curries, and desserts. You’ll return home with new skills and stories.
• Evening: End your day with a relaxing Thai massage at a local spa.

 This 7-day Thailand itinerary includes the beach capital of Thailand, known as Phuket. During the day, relax at Patong or Kata Beach and enjoy the sun and the sea, which will give you a soothing and breathtaking experience.

• Evening: Spend time in Bangla Road nightlife or have a relaxing dinner on a quiet beach.
• Best foods to order: Grilled prawn, spicy crab curry, tom yum soup and mango sticky rice

Island hopping is non-negotiable. Take a boat tour to Phang Nga Bay (famous for James Bond Island) or the Phi Phi Islands with turquoise lagoons and limestone cliffs.

•  Activities: snorkelling, kayaking, and sunbathing on white-sand beaches.
•  Cost: INR3,000–INR5,000 per person for a full-day tour.

Tip: Imagine swimming in waters so clear, you can see fish glancing below without even putting on a mask, as if you're in an aquarium.

Wrap up your trip in Krabi. Go to Railay Beach, which is the area that can be reached only by boat and which is renowned for its dramatic cliffs.

• Adventure activities: Rock climbing—Check out Railay, which is a go-to hotspot.
• Stress busters: Simply grab a fresh coconut water and hang out and watch the waves.
• Evening: Have your final Thai sunset along the Andaman Sea and go back home.

Food is thetop reason to visit Thailand. Here are some must-try dishes:

• Bangkok: Pad Thai, mango sticky rice, tom yum soup
• Chiang Mai: Khao soi (coconut curry noodles), sai ua (northern sausage)
• Phuket: Crab curry, moo hong (braised pork belly)
• Krabi: Fresh seafood barbecue and spicy papaya salad

Tip: Street food is wholesome and delicious. Stick to busy stalls where locals eat, as they are also cheaper than restaurants.

• Book flights in advance—save money and hassles!
• Bring cash—local vendors and street markets do not always accept cards.
• Wear modest clothes to temples—shoulders and knees should be covered, and it is a sign of respect and personal comfort.
• Grab a taxi – Book a taxi on the Grab app and avoid negotiating.
• Stay hydrated—Thailand is hot and humid.
• Always be smiling—that is the Thai manner of expressing love and respect to people.
