Amazing Thailand - South Africa

ℹ You may have seen the news about flooding in Bangkok and other areas of Central Thailand. The situation is improving, but it continues to affect services at Bangkok’s two airports, with some staff unable to get to work because of flooding in their home area.

Travellers already in Thailand should check with their airline before travelling and also allow more time to get to or from the airport.

While the delays may be frustrating, these are exceptional circumstances. Remember that many staff who haven’t been able to get to work have seen their homes flooded and their families evacuated to other areas. 🙏🏻

🏝️ Escape it all on Ko Mak 🤩

This little island is located on Thailand’s East Coast near Ko Chang and offers a different vision of island tourism. Instead of high-rise hotels, neon nightlife, and mass tourism, this small island has chosen a quieter path built around sustainability and community values. 💚

Mountain scenery, colourful temples and a rich mix of cultures make Chiang Rai one of northern Thailand’s most rewarding provinces to explore. From the banks of the Mekong to quiet rural communities and forested hills, there’s much more to discover beyond the city itself.
