Top 10 Reasons to Visit Thailand | Beaches, Culture, Food and Adventure

1. Breathtaking Beaches

Thailand is famous for its pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. From the lively shores of Phuket to the laid back vibe of Koh Samui and the stunning limestone cliffs of Krabi, there is a beach for every type of traveller. Staying at Icandi Hideaway, you are just a short journey from some of Thailand’s most peaceful stretches of coastline.

2. Delicious Thai Cuisine

Thai food is loved around the globe and nothing beats tasting it in its home country. From flavourful curries to sizzling street food and fresh seafood, Thai cuisine is a true highlight of any trip. Back at Icandi Hideaway, you can enjoy meals prepared in the fully equipped kitchen or take advantage of local chefs who can bring authentic Thai flavours directly to your villa.

3. Rich Culture and History

With a heritage that blends Buddhism, ancient kingdoms and colourful traditions, Thailand offers a fascinating cultural experience. Explore ornate temples, historical ruins like Ayutthaya and lively festivals such as Songkran and Loy Krathong. After a day of sightseeing, unwind at Icandi Hideaway in complete comfort.

4. Friendly Local People

Thailand is not called the “Land of Smiles” for nothing. Thai people are warm, welcoming and known for their incredible hospitality, making visitors feel right at home. This is reflected in the warm and attentive team at Icandi Hideaway who are dedicated to making your stay unforgettable.

5. Affordable Travel

Compared to many other destinations, Thailand offers excellent value for money. Accommodation, food, transport and activities are often very affordable, making it a great choice for both budget and luxury travellers. With space for large groups in the six bedroom main house and the option of the two bedroom villa, Icandi Hideaway is ideal for family gatherings, group holidays or even a special celebration.

6. Vibrant Cities

Bangkok, the bustling capital, is a city full of contrasts. From modern skyscrapers and luxury shopping malls to traditional markets and golden temples, it is a place where tradition meets modernity. Chiang Mai, in the north, offers a slower pace with a mix of culture, coffee shops and mountain scenery. Both are easily reached if you want to combine city buzz with a relaxing villa stay.

7. Incredible Wildlife and Nature

Beyond its beaches, Thailand is home to lush jungles, national parks and diverse wildlife. You can go trekking in Chiang Mai, explore Khao Sok National Park or visit ethical elephant sanctuaries. Icandi Hideaway makes the perfect retreat to return to after a day of adventure in nature.

8. Adventure Activities

For thrill seekers, Thailand does not disappoint. From scuba diving in the Andaman Sea to rock climbing in Railay, zip lining through jungles and hiking up waterfalls, there is no shortage of adrenaline filled experiences. The villa team can help arrange local excursions so your group can enjoy the best adventures with ease.

9. World Class Accommodation

Thailand caters to every type of traveller when it comes to places to stay, but few options compare to the privacy and luxury of Icandi Hideaway. With our stunning six bedroom house alongside a two bedroom villa, you can host extended family or friends in style.
