 CHIANG MAI

Chiang Mai is one of the largest cities in northern Thailand and attracts over 5 million tourists
every year to its creative and laid back streets. With the northern Thailand mountains at its
side, Chiang Mai is beautiful and traditional, yet strikingly modern. Great food, national parks,
animal parks, and natural wonders are all a part of the Chiang Mai experience.

offers 120 acres of animal exploration. Take
a tram ride at night through the Asian,
African and South American predator
enclosures. Considered by many to be the
most beautiful night safari in the world, it
also features a musical fountain and laser

NIGHT BAZAAR

The Chiang Mai night bazaar is a bargain

hunter’s delight. Designer goods, souvenirs,
tribal crafts, and jewellery are just some of
the treasures to be found.

PHUPING PALACE
& NATIONAL PARK

The Phuping Palace grounds are

spectacularly decorated with colourful
and exotic flowers, while at the top of the
mountain you’ll discover the village of Bann
Doi Pui. This palace is home to the Royal
Family during the winter months, so it is
best to visit in the summer months while the
grounds are open to the public.
 TWEECHOL

 KOH SAMUI

Koh Samui is Thailand’s second largest island and an idyllic island retreat. Koh Samui or
‘Samui’ as the locals simply refer to it, is a location packed with both adventure and relaxation.
Just about every type of activity is available in a tour form including snorkelling, diving, 4WD
tours, elephant rides, and cultural sightseeing. Catering for every type of traveller, Koh Samui
will fit in with your mood and surprise you with its array of attractions.

HIGHLIGHTS

from the numerous
beachside vendors.
 KOH SAMUI DINING

It’s not surprising that such a magnificent

destination offers so many quality
restaurants. But what is surprising is that
you can experience many different cuisines
in different settings. If you’re after a lavish
affair, Zazen Restaurant in Bophut is a
treat. Traditional Thai food presented in a
fine dining atmosphere and prepared by
a French chef is definitely something to
be savoured if you’re in town. Otherwise,
Red Snapper is a more laid back option on
Chaweng Beach boasting Mediterranean-
influenced meals.

LAMAI BEACH

The second busiest resort beach of Koh

Samui is Lamai Beach, a beach lover’s
paradise. Numerous resorts call Lamai Beach
home and the beach itself is a relaxing and
tranquil stretch of sand. While you’re lying
on the sand, why not enjoy some grilled
sweet corn and Thai papaya salad from the
numerous beachside vendors. Plenty of
temples and natural attractions are waiting
to be explored if you can manage to leave
the beach!

NU MUANG WATERFALLS

An inland wonderland, the Nu Muang

Waterfalls are two separate waterfalls
reached by walking uphill through the park.
Both are easily accessible by vehicle, but the
second waterfall is only reached by walking
30 minutes up a steep hill. The surrounding
forest and walking trails are popular with
tourists who describe this region as one of
Koh Samui’s best kept secrets.
 THE BIG BUDDHA

One of Samui’s most famous landmarks, the

Big Buddha statue was built in 1972 and is
at the north of the island. The 12-metre tall,
gold structure is visible kilometres away and
attracts many sightseers.

We had Pad Thai, massaman curry and
green papaija salad with chicken and
shrimp.
Pad thai with shrimp: needs more
flavor but otherwise good. Spicy level
5 is not spicy at all.
Massaman curry: good and rich flavors.
Potato in it took most of the flavor in it
