Welcome to the August edition of our Thailand destination update. While the low season brings a quieter rhythm, our Product team has been anything but idle – using this time to explore new ideas, refine our offerings and create inspiring new products.
Enjoy the read and, as always, feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
- Products: We’d like to highlight a unique access experience EXO has recently set up and a new multiday itinerary taking in a few hidden gems in the South of Thailand.
- Hotels: In the spotlight, a lesser-known hotel in Samui that’s well worth knowing about, plus an old Bangkok favourite with a few new features to showcase.
- Important news: The Grand Palace in Bangkok will be closed for the funeral of Queen Sirikit from 14 to 19 December, tours including the palace will not be able to operate and alternative routes will be arranged booking by booking.
