Journey to Thailand, explore the hidden gems of Southeast Asia
Ready for adventure? With streamlined visas, pristine forests, sunlit islands, and serene escapes, Thailand might be the ultimate destination to beat the heat and feed your wanderlust this season.
Since the Royal Thai Embassy in Nigeria introduced a digital visa application system on 1 January 2025, planning a trip to Thailand has never been easier. If you’ve ever fantasised about the fun sand-burying beach tradition, travelling solo, or taking a honeymoon trip, now is your chance to discover some of the most beautiful places in Thailand.
Khao Sok national park
Khao Sok National Park is a feast for the eyes. This ancient rainforest, one of the oldest on Earth, features breathtaking jade waters, lush vegetation, and dramatic mountain vistas. A must-see is Cheow Larn Lake, a serene water body nestled within the park. Here, nature’s grandeur unfolds with some of the world’s largest flowers and even the rarest blooms, making it an ideal escape for nature lovers.
Phuket
Phuket is one of Thailand’s most captivating islands—a haven for beach lovers, culture seekers, and partygoers alike. Boasting pristine shores, vibrant street food scenes, and an array of historic Buddhist temples with rich Chinese heritage, Phuket invites you to savour local flavours, explore colourful markets, and, most importantly, connect with nature for a truly rejuvenating experience.
Bangkok
Bangkok, one of Asia’s most popular cities, is famed for its lively nightlife and mouth-watering street food. The bustling metropolis seamlessly fuses modernity with tradition, allowing visitors to experience both ancient temples and contemporary skyscrapers. Wander through the Grand Palace, explore Chatuchak Market, and discover hidden gems around every corner in this exhilarating urban adventure.
Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat in Lampang
In Lampang, Northern Thailand, majestic mountain peaks frame golden and white “floating” stupas and pagodas, crafted with painstaking precision by local monks. These dome‑shaped stupas, which house relics for meditation, and the tall, multi‑tiered pagodas, built by 50 workers over two years, create a serene setting perfect for cultural reflection and inner peace.
Railay
Nestled along Thailand’s southern coast, Railay offers a secluded, stress‑free escape. Accessible only by boat, its white‑sand beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs provide a peaceful retreat. Once dropped off by ferries or long‑tail watercraft, visitors can hike into the rainforest, stroll along quaint, shop‑lined streets, or simply bask on the beach. There’s no wrong choice—engage in the activity that best suits you.
