Thailand

When people talk about Southeast Asia, Thailand is often the first country that comes to mind. Every traveler has, at some point, imagined laying on its pristine beaches with a coconut in hand or clinging to a rickshaw as it weaves through Bangkok’s exhilarating streets. With over 35 million tourist visiting in 2024, Thailand has reclaimed its pre-Covid position as one of the world’s most visited destinations. But numbers only tell part of the story.

Beyond the neon-lit nightlife of Bangkok and the infamous full-moon parties of the southern islands lies another Thailand, one that few truly discover. Here, the sacred and the everyday blend seamlessly. Buddha amulets hang from rearview mirrors, spirit houses receive daily offering outside glassy office towers, and monks in saffron robes share sidewalks with businessmen in tailored suits.

Follow your nose through a maze of alleyways and you’ll find the scent of lemongrass and galangal guiding you toward street carts dishing out Michelin-rated meals with nothing more than a wok, a spatula, and decades of practiced skill.

This is the Thailand that invites you to look closer. To stay a little longer.
