Thailand has always been one of the most popular tourist and travel destinations and their positive image level is further strengthened with winning awards from MasterCard Asia Pacific Destinations Index 2015 and Euromonitor International, recognising Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya as the world’s and Asia Pacific’s most popular destinations for international travelers. Whether you are a thrill seeker or looking for a relaxing vacation, Thailand will cater to every avid traveler’s dream holiday.


1) Traveling to Thailand has never been easier

Malaysians are truly blessed to be the neighbouring country of Thailand. While most Westerners have to sit through an 8 hour flight, Malaysians are able to land themselves in Thailand in less than half of that journey. Having said that, the flight options to Thailand are bountiful with multiple flights daily whether it is AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines to Thai Airways. Thinking of an adventure? You can even drive up the Thai border by heading north from Penang.

2) Low costs of living

Thailand is known for its low cost of living and despite the slump in the Malaysian Ringgit, Thailand remains one of the more affordable countries in Asia to travel to compared to Japan, Korea or even Indonesia. This brings us to the next crucial point….
