Regions
NORTHERN
Tucked on the boarders of Laos and Myanmar, this region is a patchwork of mountains, national parks, rice fields, small villages and sprawling cities. Chiang Mai is the capital of the region with historic Lanna style buildings and temples in the walled Old City.
CENTRAL
Home to Thailand’s vibrant capital city, Bangkok, famous for delicious street food, wild night life and stunning temples. Leave the city to explore the rich history of Ayuttaya, now a UNESCO World Heritage.
SOUTHERN
Idyllic beaches, hidden island gems and stunning national parks, southern Thailand is popular for a reason, but it’s not all overrun by tourism. Step outside the hot spots for tranquil landscapes and the real-deal spicy food southern Thailand is known for.
Food
Thai food is incredible – that’s no secret. You’ll be able to find the star dishes of your favourite restaurants (like Pad Thai) anywhere, but it’s worth sampling some of the regional specialties. Northern cuisine features more herbs and favours rustic cooking techniques, while southern dishes turn up the heat balanced by the heavy use of coconut milk.

Little Amy Tours in Thailand
When I touched down in Southeast Asia for the first time, it was like stepping into a whole new world of sights, smells, and flavours. Thailand had me hooked from day one, and as soon as I got back home, all I could think about was going back.
