Temples, islands, and the best food on earth.
Of all the first trips to Asia I help plan, Thailand might be the most rewarding. It's warm, it's affordable, it's astonishingly beautiful, and the welcome you get is the real thing — people here are famously kind to visitors.
Quick Answer: You've got Bangkok's gilded temples, the islands of the south, and the very different culture of the north, and the trick — the thing I spend most of my time on — is balancing the big icons with enough time to actually relax.

Thailand really offers three distinct experiences, and most first trips I plan end up blending two or three of them. Most first trips blend two or three.
Here's how I usually fit them together into one smooth route that doesn't have you backtracking.
It's the small things that make a first Thailand trip feel easy instead of overwhelming — here are the ones I always pass along.

Bangkok + an island, or add Chiang Mai — we route it.
