Thailand
|
The Thai people are a genuinely proud,
helpful and cheerful population. They wish to share
their unique destination with all of you – from the
beautiful beaches of Phuket and Phi Phi Island to their
savory Thai Cuisine, plus all of their adventures and
experiences throughout the country.
Phuket ~ a first hand,
post-tsunami account
When I
arrived in Phuket, Thailand yesterday, I was pretty sure
that I knew what I would see. And that was -- a country
of united people working together to ensure that their
lives continued as before last year’s Tsunami.

Certainly,
I did see evidence of where the waters came across the
beaches along the west coast of this idyllic island, but it
is limited to a small area. New “huts” have been built back
along the coastline and the locals are present with their
colorful tuk tuks (three-wheeled
motorized vehicles that serve as taxis) and stands
selling all kinds of interesting items including aromatic
and delectable foods that infuse the air.

On this
trip, I worked with a selection of amazing hotels to secure
great deals for you – so you can enjoy their country as much
as I do when I visit.
We offer an
enticing array of locations and accommodations for your
dream vacation in Thailand. Visit the west coast of Phuket
and enjoy the Sheraton Grande Laguna Beach nestled on its
own small island in the middle of a lagoon that extends
right onto the long white sand beach of Bang Tao Bay. Stay
at the Hilton Arcadia south of Phuket Town, a First Class
hotel with great amenities. Indulge in a luxurious
experience at the JW Marriott Phuket Resort – voted Best
Resort in Asia. Located to the north of the airport on a
private beach, it’s ideal for couples and family alike. The
majority of the resort’s rooms and suites have views of the
Andaman Sea, plus their Mandara Spa is incredible!
Towards the
south on the Eastern end of the island is the Evason Phuket
Resort, offering serene panoramas and boasting its own
private island for recreational activities. Then of course
there is the renowned Amanpuri, the most desirable and
exclusive property in Phuket. The Amanpuri has an
unrivalled reputation as a luxury resort where personal
service, recreational facilities and fine cuisine complement
the unique splendor of its surroundings along Pansea Beach.
They
all invite you to Phuket – and welcome you with open arms.
Together we have partnered to enable you to come down and
enjoy this exquisite place. There really has never been a
better time to visit Thailand with these incredible
experiences that Swain Tours (United Vacations) has
prepared.
On one such
experience, the culture and adventure of Thailand will come
alive for you with three nights in both Bangkok (staying at
The Peninsula – Bangkok’s premier luxury hotel or the deluxe
Sheraton Royal Orchid) and Chiang Mai (staying at the
sumptuous Four Seasons Chiang Mai or First Class Sheraton
Chiang Mai). While in Bangkok you can explore the city and
temples with a guide and dine atop of Bangkok at Sirocco!
We can
arrange a perfect table for you! In Chiang Mai, enjoy a ride
on an elephant through the jungle to visit the Hill Tribes
followed by a bamboo rafting experience down a serene river.
Then, end
your trip with a five-night relaxing stay in Phuket. You’ll
have plenty of time for diving, sunning on the beach,
cruising or sailing, exploring the villages and savoring
their superb cooking.
Thailand is
a perfect place to bring your family; all resorts featured
are “kid friendly” for all ages! I was already planning my
next family trip while sitting gazing out at the Andaman Sea
at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa today – the kids will not
only have an incredible cultural experience but a great time
as well!
So envision
your dream experience in enchanting Thailand! Remember that
at Swain Tours, we can customize all the details and deliver
exactly your ideal trip -- call us and travel along to enjoy
the Thai culture, picturesque vistas, delectable cuisine and
supreme hospitality now! There’s never been a better time to
explore Thailand!
