Random Walks - Thailand
Overview |
 |
Itinerary Description |
There’s a reason Thailand is home to the most-visited city in the world, Bangkok, and attracted over 35 million visitors in 2017: it is a paradise of culture, history and natural beauty, offering visitors a true adventure. Thailand’s food scene is as bustling in street markets as it is in Michelin-rated fine dining restaurants, and its Buddhist temples and giant Golden Buddha’s offer a look into Thailand’s unique and peaceful culture. Spend some time touring the hustle and bustle of the capital city and find rest in the serene southern city of Phuket. |
