Kenwood Travel & Amazing Thailand
Finding your next journey is our mission at Kenwood Travel, and
we’ve spent over 35 years discovering new worlds where luxury
and affordability go hand in hand. We understand a holiday is
no mere trip, it’s a chance to create lifelong memories. So let us
introduce you to an unforgettable experience: Thailand.
Thailand captivates the heart and mind of every traveller.
Few countries are so universally admired and adored, from
those who seek the dizziest heights of luxury to the wandering
backpacker, setting out with little to gain so much. But what is
so amazing about Thailand?
Perhaps it is the blend of cultures and people: that wonderful
mix of the ancient and modern. Far Eastern customs are
brought into the 21st century, and ancient temples sit next to
state-of-the-art architecture. Thailand is known as the ‘Land of
Smiles’, and its predominantly Buddhist population are some of
the most welcoming people you’ll meet.
It might be the food: few return from Thailand without
mentioning it. Delicious flavours and traditional, affordable
street fare, enjoyed by countless generations, continue to wow
the world and are the basis for exquisite gourmet dining today.
Maybe it’s the beauty of its geography: the telltale grooves of
its rice fields inland, beautiful islands surrounded by teeming
reefs along the coast, paradise scenes of hidden coves and
beaches, and an endless rainforest, home to unique wildlife.
It could be the fact they invented the Thai massage.
Enough said.
From its vibrant cityscapes to its undiscovered corners, from
people to place, and for every one of these reasons and so
much more, Thailand always amazes. Let Kenwood Travel take
you there.

Destination Thailand
Thailand’s vast expanse means that each
part is distinctive and every day is different.
Take the wonderfully contrary capital
Bangkok, for instance. Here you will find
ultra-luxury hotels – chic modern towers with
rooftop bars and cityscape vistas – juxtapose
old markets, and ornate and beautiful
Buddhist temples. Forever smiling, bustling
Bangkok is one of those fast-paced, exciting
cities that simply must be experienced at least
once in a lifetime.
For a little beach resort-style respite from
Bangkok, head for Pattaya or Hua Hin. Here
the city-life is no less lavish and fun-filled, and
the beach just adds to the experience.
Ever popular are the islands of the Gulf
of Thailand, and there’s a fair choice. A
different world awaits within each. The
more popular Koh Samui and Koh Phangan,
home of the famous Full Moon parties, enjoy
stunning 5-star beach resorts that blend into
their natural rainforest surroundings. Pick
a more secluded island like Koh Tao for a
particularly wild experience, especially
underwater as these are amongst the
world’s best dive spots.
On the west side, overlooking the Andaman
Sea, are staggeringly beautiful beachfront
resorts such as Phuket, Koh Lanta, Khao Lak
and Krabi: palm-fringed paradises that feel a
million miles from the rest of the world.

Culture & Cuisine
Families in Thailand
The Land of Smiles is a happy place, and it’s not just that you barely go a
minute in Bangkok without a stranger giving you a welcoming grin. Life here is
just that good. Being a Buddhist nation, ornate temples, beautiful ancient ruins
like Ayutthaya and beaming Buddha statues like the Reclining Buddha add to
Thailand’s warmth. Indeed, the King is Buddhist and he is seen as a kind and great
leader. Monks, who eat by the grace of generosity, are also very highly regarded.
A universal welcome makes Thailand the perfect family destination, and
there is limitless choice for all. For instance, Thailand has a diverse natural
history that the whole family will enjoy together. Aside from its tropical
landscape, you will find beloved animal kingdoms like the hippos and
rhinos of Chiang Mai Zoo, national parks such as Khao Sok and sanctuaries
for endangered wildlife. Furthermore, hidden amongst the Thai islands and
down the Andaman coastline are spectacular snorkelling spots.
Food is innate to the happiness of its culture and even cheap dishes like
classic Thai curries are a symphony of flavours. Thailand borrows much of
its culinary influence from its various Southeast Asian neighbours, and
Thailand’s finest restaurants delectably exploit this harmonious cuisine
with incredible results.
Boat tours around Bangkok, elephant treks near Chiang Rai, and lazy days
on the secluded beaches around Hua Hin are just some of the activities you’ll
enjoy with the kids. And for a bit of me-time, perhaps pop over to one of the
world-famous Thai spas and indulge yourself, if only for an hour!
