You will enjoy five nights in each, staying in completely different, but equally luxurious, 5-star hotels. In Koh Yao you will be staying in one of the world’s most unique hotels – TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao.

The TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao is surrounded by tropical rainforests, turquoise waters and dramatic limestone cliffs, as well as its own 400-metre secluded beach. You can hire bicycles and explore the island, enjoy water activities including sea kayaking and fishing, relax by your own private pool, or enjoy a wide selection of spa treatments, twice daily yoga classes or Thai cookery classes.
Staying in the TreeHouse Villas Koh Yao might seem hard to follow, but five nights in a private villa in the 5-star boutique Pavilions Phuket Hotel might just do the trick! Enjoy swimming in privacy in your own private pool, and a choice of dining options from its three award-winning restaurants.
Although situated on a quiet side of the island, you can also choose to explore Phuket and some of its vibrant nightlife. However, if rest and relaxation is all you seek, the spa and wellness centre on site will complete this memorable stay.

Thailand is a super destination for family holidays too, with top-class hotels offering a wide range of entertainment and activities to suit children of all ages. Children will love the boat trips, wildlife encounters and water parks, while teenagers will enjoy capturing and sharing beautiful images with their friends back home. I have chosen two of the best family resorts in Thailand below.
Katathani Phuket Beach Resort, 7 Nights B&B, 2ad & 2ch from €3699
Set on one of the best beaches in Phuket, and within easy reach of the resort centre, the award-winning Katathani Phuket Beach Resort is a great choice for a family holiday in Thailand.
As well as a wide selection of dining options and activities, the brand new Vhari Wing has spacious family rooms, kids clubs, a water park with slides, lazy river, and the biggest Kids’ World in Southern Thailand.

Santiburi Koh Samui, 7 Nights B&B, 2ad & 2ch from €6189
One of Thailand’s largest islands, Koh Samui, is another great choice for a family holiday, and the luxurious Santiburi Resort is one of the best hotels for families in Thailand.
Also set on a stunning beach, the luxury 5 star Thailand hotel is one of the Leading Hotels of the World and is firmly on my own travel bucket list. It has two-bedroom duplex suites, garden villas and beachfront villas with private pools, all surrounded by tropical gardens.
The expansive outdoor pool, the largest in Koh Samui, along with kids and sports clubs will keep the kids amused all day.

Best for Culture: 12 Night Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Koh Samui Adventure from €1959pp
Combining the bustling city of Bangkok with the charming city of Chiang Mai really shows the diversity of Thailand’s two largest cities. Visit Bangkok’s Grand Palace and floating markets and sample its amazing street food, before flying to the cultural city of Chiang Mai for a three-night stay. Marvel at Chiang Mai’s ancient temples and take a Longtail Boat tour for the ultimate Thai experience.
You will also enjoy top hotels throughout your stay. The Rembrandt Hotel & Suites is one of Bangkok’s most popular hotels, and is superbly located in trendy Sukhumvit, while the Tamarind Village Hotel in Chiang Mai is an oasis located in the heart of Old Chiang Mai City, close to all the historic temples, night bazaar and riverside restaurants. This hotel is located inside the ancient city walls and is one of the best places to stay in Chiang Mai.
After five action-packed days exploring both cities, what better than a seven-night stay in the beautiful island of Koh Samui in the NH Collection Peace Resort.
As the name suggests, the location is peaceful, however, the lively Bohput’s Fishermans Village is only a 15 minute walk away, which has an array of dining options and boutique shopping. If you want to venture further, the neighbouring islands of Ko Pha Ngan and Koh Tao provide exciting day trip opportunities.
