If you have had enough of the annual vacation at a beach resort and you are looking for something a bit different in the holiday stakes, you have come to the right place, as we present a few ideas that you probably haven’t considered when planning a holiday in the Land of Smiles.
Detox retreat
– Thailand is definitely the place to go if you want a detox experience; book at any of the premium detox retreats where you are pampered and recharged, ready to take on the world. They have an in-house team of specialists; yoga instructors, dieticians, personal trainers and spiritual advisers, all ready and willing to help you become a better you! We all know that feeling when you get home after a holiday and feel like you need another week to recover from the vacation; not so when you go to a detox retreat, you arrive home refreshed and recharged, ready for anything the world can chuck your way.
Homestays
– Ever wondered what it would be like to be a Thai rice farmer for a few days? You can live with a regular Thai family, eating what they eat, working in the fields. Be warned, this type of holiday is not for the faint of heart, a considerable degree of discomfort is involved and because of this, you can stop at any time and return to a beach hotel somewhere. If you are young, fit and want to experience a different kind of life, the homestay tour operator has you covered.
Biking holiday
– If you fancy riding from Bangkok to Chiang Mai on a bicycle, boy do we have some news for you! There is at least one adventure tour operator in Thailand who offers guided bike tours and if you prefer a big motorcycle, you can ride a Kawasaki 650 in a group and experience the awesome beauty of Siam for yourself! Typically, a group would include at least 6 people from all walks of life, so you will make some lifelong friends. Everything is taken care of, including holiday insurance, all you need to bring is clothing and a few personal things. Check out the traveller’s notebook, an essential companion for every adventurous traveller.
Premium fishing
– Carp anglers will love what’s on offer in Thailand; a few foreign fishermen invested in setting up fishing parks where you have a real chance of landing a monster carp or catfish. To give you some idea, a 30 kg fish is considered on the small side and wouldn’t even warrant a photoshoot! The cost includes a/c accommodation, all fishing equipment, bait and its cold beers all day, then enjoy the best Thai cuisine in a stunning waterfront restaurant! Heaven awaits! Google can take you to the top fishing parks and you can book online.
