Celebrate Songkran and the Light Festival&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Attracting both locals and tourists alike, Thailand\u2019s annual cultural celebrations showcase the spirituality, rich tradition and festive nature of the Thai people. Songkran, the traditional Thai New Year celebrated in April, is marked by joyous water fights signifying cleansing and purification, believed to bring good luck into the new year and wash away the year past. In November, Thailand\u2019s waterways become illuminated by thousands of banana leaf boats as people flock to celebrate the Light Festival. Loy Krathong is a celebration of joy and gratitude, as people release their decorated floating lanterns into rivers and lakes as a gesture of respect and thanks to the water spirits. With several festivals happening throughout the year, Thailand certainly lives up to its nickname \u2013 the \u2018Land of Smiles\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. See Bangkok come alive at night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Renowned for its lively street life, Thailand\u2019s capital is full of experiences best enjoyed when the sun dips below the horizon. Picture this: the daytime heat simmers down and you take to the streets in a three-wheeled, open-air tuk tuk, weaving through the city\u2019s extensive network of night markets with a local driver. Visit spots like the retro-inspired train night market Ratchada where you can sample local dishes like Thai barbecue, the Talad Neon Downtown Night Market with its illuminated signage acting as a map for your journey, and Asiatique the Riverfront, with bonus cabaret shows and a giant Ferris wheel.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a feed at the markets, the Bangkok skies are full of <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/bangkoks-best-rooftop-bars\/\">top-tier rooftop bars<\/a> like the award-winning Vertigo Restaurant &amp; Moon Bar at the Banyan Tree. It\u2019s at bars like this where you can get a snapshot of Bangkok\u2019s glittering skyline and watch the streets thrumming below \u2013 all complemented by delicious drops like a Mai Tropical Tai, Nutty-Presso Martini and an Issan Coco.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard cacheid_3d3c4d11015d064b5616b0c5e7a33db5\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"dealcard_preview\">\n\t\t<div

Learn to cook Thai classic food&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sentimental, what better way to take home a piece of Thailand than a Thai cooking class? Not only will you walk away with a newfound passion for Thai cuisine, but you\u2019ll also gain new skills you won\u2019t find anywhere else. Think of this like a cultural exchange: learning the secrets of classic Thai dishes and their significance. Explore the warm, hot and sour flavours of a rich <em>tom yum<\/em> soup from central Thailand \u2013 officially recognised by the United Nations as part of the country\u2019s heritage &#8211; the freshness of a green papaya salad or the distinct sweet and creamy Penang curry. Then, at the end of it all, taste the delightful fruits of your labour and allow the flavours of Thailand to linger long after your trip.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Visit stunning Buddhist temples&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thailand is home to a myriad of temples, each with their own unique charm making up the country\u2019s spiritual landscape. In Chiang Rai, a drive away from the sacred city of Chiang Mai, lose yourself in the masterful details of Wat Rong Khun\u2019s white facade, restored to its former glory in the late 1990s, then pay a visit to Wat Rong Suea Ten, known as the \u2018Blue Temple\u2019 decorated in shades of cobalt. Trace the colourful mosaics of the towering Wat Pha Sorn Kaew in the central Thailand hinterlands and touch the right-hand fingers of the colossal 92m-high golden Buddha of Wat Muang for good luck. In Phuket, take a tour of its many big Buddhas, including <em>the <\/em>Big Buddha some 400m above sea level in the Nakkerd hills, the gilded reclining Buddha at Sri Sunthorn, and the Phang Nga cave temple home to another reclined Buddha reachable by boat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Go island hopping in Phang Nga Bay\/Andaman Sea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a large collection of more than 1000 islands, escaping Thailand&#8217;s tourist hotspots has never been easier. Many ports dotted along the coast of the Phang Nga Bay offer speedboats and ferries, taking the guesswork out of your exploration. Take your pick of islands and journey the waters of the Andaman Sea, unveiling hidden white sandy beaches, towering limestone cliffs and turquoise lagoons teeming with wildlife. A two-hour ferry from Phuket will take you to the Phi Phi islands, where you can hop from one lesser-populated island to another and spend days on sun-soaked beaches flanked by palms and jungle-clad hills. Off the coast of Krabi, explore the Trang archipelago and swim through emerald caves, discover some of the best snorkel spots and wander the sands of untouched secret beaches.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Be pampered in the home of Thai massage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If R&amp;R is what you\u2019re searching for, there\u2019s no better place to treat yourself than in the birthplace of Thai massage. Characterised by yoga-like rocking and pressure point techniques, it focuses along the body\u2019s energy lines known as \u2018Sen\u2019 to heal illnesses and maintain wellbeing. While this ancient practice has spread across the globe, nothing compares to the sensation of being pampered on a Thai beach. Picture yourself lying beneath swaying palm trees, the ocean serenading you as the sea breeze enhances the soothing effects of this unique therapeutic art. With hundreds of beachfront wellness resorts in Thailand keeping the tradition alive, you can feel pampered from the comfort of your accommodation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI
