ThailandThe wonders of Thailand and family adventures

Pai offers a wonderful contrast to bustling Bangkok. The town lies in a valley of the river of the same name and is known for its impressive gorges and hot springs. In the city center, numerous craft shops and a pretty shopping street await your arrival. But before you enter Pai, make a stop at the beautiful 60-meter-high Mok Fah Waterfall and the Pong Duad Hot Spring in Huay Nam Dang National Park. Here, 99-degree water steams powerfully from the earth's interior.

In the evening, enjoy a stroll through Pai's colorful night market. Sample Thai delicacies and be inspired by the handicrafts of the hill tribes. You're sure to find some beautiful souvenirs and gifts! Visit Tham Lod Cave in the small town of Soppong together – on a bamboo raft gliding over the cave river. In huge grottos, you will find 2,500-year-old teak coffins and simple cave paintings, which you can discover by the light of a kerosene lantern. In Tam Pla Park, lively streams bubble out of a cave: Thailand is so vibrant!

Another metropolis awaits you in Thailand's mountainous north: Chiang Mai. Explore the historical and modern facets of the city, including the ancient city walls and diverse markets. Magnificent government buildings line Chiang Mai's main street, Tapae Road. On Doi Suthep Mountain, visit Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, built in 1384, the holiest temple in northern Thailand. From here, you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the city. The evening street markets have a special atmosphere, and a stroll with the whole family opens up a new, colorful world.

How about a special family gathering? Accept an invitation from a Thai family to experience everyday life with them. Slip into a pair of fisherman's pants, learn the art of basket weaving, and stroll through the family's orchid plantation. You can also learn to cook Thai food with your hosts, and bonds of friendship will form as you eat together. On a half-day bike tour, you'll get a lively introduction to Thai culture and visit the ancient city of Wiang Khum Kham with its old temple and spirit house.

After all these exciting experiences, it's time to relax and unwind. Enchanted coconut groves and idyllic dream beaches await you on Thailand's second largest island, Koh Samui, in the Gulf of Thailand. The interior of the island is adorned with dense mountain rainforest. Your hotel's Secret Garden Spa is located in the middle of the jungle, where you can indulge in individual pampering. A lava shell massage with warm clams could be just the thing. For the more energetic, water sports in the crystal-clear sea are available, such as a diving course at the coral reef or stand-up paddling on the gentle waves.

Enjoy an exclusive yacht trip organized by the hotel, including overnight accommodation and barbecue! Or take part in a traditional Muay Thai boxing course, naturally in an open-air boxing ring with professional athletes. Kids and teens will love their own spa at the Four Seasons, and there are also family cooking courses on offer, as well as age-appropriate, imaginative entertainment. The flexible babysitting service will put a smile on the faces of young parents. When it's time to say goodbye, your body and soul will feel deeply refreshed.
