Handicrafts in Thailand are synonymous with Chiang Mai. From generation to generation, artisans in this part of Thailand have been at the forefront of creating beautiful souvenirs and household objects.

Often compared with an outdoor museum, the isolated location of Laos’ most attractive destination has proudly been on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites since 1995.

Wedged between the Mekong and the beginning of the Himalayas, Luang Prabang is not only the leading destination for temple galore, natural splendour around every corner and a keen, passionate town where preservation of cultural heritage inside a languid atmosphere are treasured.

Gaining inspiration from the colours and fabrics from the traditional textiles of the region, Studio Naenna’s founder, Patricia Cheesman, had all the ingredients she needed to lay the foundation for her view, vision and artistic streak to revive the silk and fabric industry by using natural dyes.

Sprawling over 300 acres of natural land that surrounds the Doi Suthep – Doi Pui National Park, the Chiang Mai Day and Night Safari is one of the latest additions of local and regional collaborative efforts to showcase the variety of wildlife in this part of the world.

Shining a different light, a sunset light to be exact, is the theme for a leisure pedalling tour through the Rose of the North. Seeing Chiang Mai with new eyes, and when the sun has set, is earmarked for more fun-filled exploration.

Filled with enjoyment, lots of activities and places that put (and keep) a smile on one’s face are characteristics of what Phuket is and what one can expect when leaving the sunny side of southern Thailand.

An almost surreal landscape emerges straight out of the azure-blue waters; a multitude of karst cliffs raise straight out of the water, each shaped and carved in the eyes of Mother Nature and her natural elements.

No Phuket visit is complete without going beyond its beaches and lively centres along the island’s western coast. Thailand’s largest island is string of cultural and religious diversity, linked with its trading past and southern-style architecture.
