Thailand Luxury Holidays

Thailand Luxury Holidays

Experience Thailand's exquisite blend of ancient traditions and modern indulgences. Discover the ultimate getaway where paradise meets opulence.

Thailand's luxury travel scene has evolved dramatically over the past decade, transforming from a backpacker's haven to a playground for the discerning traveller. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in the famous Thai hospitality—a warmth that elevates even the most lavish experiences to something truly special.

Bangkok serves as the perfect gateway, where you can recover from your journey at world-class urban retreats like the Mandarin Oriental or the Capella. These sanctuaries offer respite from the city's energetic pace while placing you minutes from cultural treasures like the Grand Palace and vibrant rooftop bars with panoramic skyline views.

For coastal escapes, Phuket and Koh Samui have perfected the art of barefoot luxury. Private pool villas perched on verdant cliffs offer uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea or Gulf of Thailand. Here, personal butlers anticipate your every need, from organizing sunset cruises on traditional long-tail boats to arranging bespoke dining experiences on deserted beaches.

The northern regions present a different kind of luxury. In Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, boutique properties like the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle blend seamlessly with the lush landscape. Days might include ethical elephant encounters, private cooking classes with master chefs, or meditation sessions with Buddhist monks in ancient temples.

What sets Thailand apart is how luxury intertwines with authentic experiences. The finest resorts don't just isolate you in comfort—they provide meaningful connections to local culture. Think exclusive muay Thai training sessions, after-hours tours of night markets with resident chefs, or private blessing ceremonies in centuries-old temples.

The true luxury of Thailand lies in these moments of contrast: sipping vintage champagne while watching fishermen cast nets at sunset; receiving a traditional Thai massage in a spa pavilion overlooking rice terraces; or dining on Michelin-starred cuisine after exploring vibrant street food markets.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
