Thailand Easter holidays provide the ultimate escape during this famously sunny time. Swap April showers for watery fun during Songkran (Thai New Year) when locals and tourists join together in one huge water fight, reaping wholesome havoc around the country – especially thrilling for children. After dashing around and dousing each other in water, opt for a more relaxing activity soaking in the infinity pool of a sleek hotel and unwinding among the river views. Meanwhile, those still feeling energetic can enjoy jungle hikes, night safaris and elephant conservation. Fun is never far away here!

"Great support whenever we had a question and great peace of mind to know we had someone we could reach out to in case of any issues. Frances was exceptional in her care to plan this trip for us - from exploring ideas, to choosing the hotels and activities, her patience to review the options and make adjustments!"

If you are a warm weather worshipper, Thailand at Easter is the place for you. In fact, April is the hottest and driest part of the year, meaning the cities are often blisteringly hot and the islands coastlines are beautifully tropical. Although cities are pretty sweaty at this time of year, Songkran festivities are worth the discomfort during one of our Thailand Easter holidays. Chaing Mai is home to the largest celebrations, with dazzling processions, refreshing water fights and colourful costumes filling the streets for a whole week. Khao San Road (Bangkok) is the undisputed hub of the modern Songkran celebrations where an electric and wild carnival atmosphere fills the city as smiling crowds enjoy the festivities. During these Easter celebrations, it’s easy see why Thailand’s nickname is ‘The Land of Smiles’.


When the soaring temperatures become too much and heat-stroke threatens to set in, it is time to head to Thailand’s slightly cooler tropical coastlines and islands. The Lower Gulf Islands of Ko Samui, Ko Tao and Ko Pha Ngam are the best islands to beat the heat. Although temperatures still soar into the high 30s, the aquamarine waters of the Gulf of Thailand make for the ultimate spot to cool off and relax. Thailand Easter holidays provide the perfect opportunity to island hop with a guide or take a boat trip around the rocky outcrops to explore all that coastal Thailand has to offer.
