Thailand & China
Located in Southeast Asia, Thailand is an exciting bucket list destination that is a must see! Come and discover the best of Thailand PLUS enjoy a bonus visit to Beijing, China on this 12 day trip (just 5-6 vacation days required). We have carefully crafted this trip around the Heroes Day & May Day Holidays in Barbados.
From the bustling markets, glittering temples and colourful tuk-tuks of Bangkok which has a population of over 9 million inhabitants to the tropical island paradise, breathtaking beaches and pulsating nightlife of Phuket, our group trip to Thailand will transport you into the heart of this exotic destination. Thailand is dubbed "the Land of Smiles" and rightfully so. Perhaps it’s the friendly welcome from the Thai people who will make an impression on you with their gentleness and polite, respectful approach.
And that's not all! We are taking advantage of the layover in Beijing China on the return trip from Thailand. Your epic trip to Thailand will end with a short stay/2 nights layover in Beijing China with its modern architecture & iconic sights.
