Thailand Holidays | Islands & Temples | Traville Travel

Thailand, beaches & temples

Turquoise island bays and longtail boats, golden temples and buzzing street-food nights — Thailand packs astonishing variety into one trip, at wonderful value. Personally arranged, start to finish.

The Destination

Step Into the Exotic Heart of Thailand

Few countries pack so much into one trip. Thailand pairs turquoise bays and limestone karsts with golden temples, buzzing night markets and some of the best food on earth — all at remarkable value. Set sail by longtail through Phang Nga Bay, wander the Grand Palace in Bangkok, learn to cook in Chiang Mai's old town, then unwind on the soft sands of Phuket, Krabi or Koh Samui.

It's a destination that suits everyone — honeymooners, families, first-time adventurers and seasoned island-hoppers alike — with warm, welcoming hospitality wherever you go. With convenient flights from South Africa and an easy mix of city, culture and coast, Thailand rewards a little local know-how.

The team at Traville Travel will weave the temples, islands and flavours into one effortless itinerary, tailored to exactly how you love to travel.

Plan It Right

Best time to visit Thailand

A warm, year-round destination — here is how the seasons shape your holiday.

Cool & Dry Season

November to February — comfortable, sunny and the best overall time to visit.

Hot Season

March to May — very warm days and the joyful Songkran water festival in April.

Green Season

June to October — lush landscapes, short tropical showers and fewer crowds.

Andaman Coast

Phuket and Krabi are at their best from November to April — calm, clear seas.

Gulf Coast

Koh Samui and the Gulf islands shine from January to September — a handy contrast.

Best for Beaches

November to April — dry skies and gentle seas for island-hopping and snorkelling.

Festival Highlights

Songkran in April and Loy Krathong's lanterns in November are unforgettable.

Best Value Period

The green season brings lower rates and a quieter, greener Thailand.
