Thailand

Thailand is undoubtedly one of the best holiday destinations for students and is on almost everyone’s bucket list today. This beautiful and sunny destination has so much to offer students at an affordable cost. With mountains to climb, beaches to sunbathe on, jungles to trek and world-class cities to explore, there is no wonder why thousands of students visit Thailand every summer.

Thailand offers students a variety of attractions and activities to see and do. Whether you want to let loose and party, see the stunning cultural and historical sites, or do both, the choice is yours in Thailand. Koh Phi Phi, is well worth a visit. This island has a reputation as a party island but it is also a remarkable place to see. Here, you can visit Maya Bay, where you can get that picture-perfect Instagram shot! The Beach movie was filmed on this idyllic island. Another spot to see is Chiang Mai. Recognised as one of Thailand’s cultural hubs, it is home to many temples and landmarks. Don’t miss the Elephant Nature Park – a wonderful sanctuary devoted to rescuing elephants across Northern Thailand. You will be able to spend a day learning about elephants, bathing and feeding them for a unique and rewarding experience.

Thailand may be slightly further afield but it is very accessible today so don’t waste any time and start planning your next adventure with our new TMB student travel deal!
