Thailand Holidays from Ireland

Holidays in Thailand are the stuff of legend! Thailand is not named the Land of Smiles for nothing. Thai people are amongst the friendliest, most gentle, and most cheerful in the world. The country is huge, so the potential for holiday exploration is endless. Tourism is big business and Thailand holidays are highly successful for very transparent reasons: namely, a wonderful climate, a rich and varied culture, magnificent architecture, amazing beaches, and sightseeing.

Holidays in Thailand offer great diversity and the vibrant capital city, Bangkok, is a pivotal point for immersion into this exciting and exotic country. Bangkok is a vast melting pot where a throng of human life is evident and indeed a lot of life seems to be lived on the streets. Raucous markets, stalls selling deliciously aromatic foods and endless traffic mark the city; in stark contrast, the stunning pagoda-like temples of the Grand Palace with its jewelled facades, intricate carvings and stupas offer respite and a sense of tranquillity amidst the chaos of daily life. Visit the Floating Market just outside the city for a unique glimpse of a thriving commercial enterprise, operated almost solely by women whilst still paddling furiously in their canoes on the crowded khlongs or waterways!
