Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of travel experiences does Thailand offer with Cox & Kings?
Thailand is one of Asia’s most versatile and welcoming destinations, offering everything from bustling cities and ornate temples to sun-soaked beaches and peaceful mountain towns. Cox & Kings carefully designs itineraries that reflect this variety—whether it’s exploring the vibrant streets of Bangkok, relaxing on the beaches of Krabi or Koh Samui, or immersing yourself in the spiritual charm of Chiang Mai. Our curated journeys strike a balance between sightseeing, leisure, cultural encounters, and optional adventure.
What is the best time to visit Thailand?
The ideal travel season runs from November to April, when the weather is cooler and drier across most of the country. Beach destinations like Phuket and Krabi enjoy perfect conditions during these months. The summer season from March to May can be quite hot, while the monsoon months from June to October bring occasional heavy showers, especially along the Andaman Coast. Cox & Kings adjusts daily plans and recommends regions best suited to the season to ensure comfort throughout your journey.
Is Thailand a safe country for Indian tourists, including families and solo travellers?
Thailand is generally very safe and popular among Indian travellers. Destinations like Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Koh Samui welcome millions of tourists annually. While petty theft can occur in crowded areas, standard precautions are sufficient. With Cox & Kings, all transfers, hotel stays, and excursions are pre-arranged and backed by reliable partners, offering peace of mind throughout your trip.
How much time should I plan for a Thailand holiday?
A well-rounded Thailand itinerary typically lasts 6 to 10 days, depending on the regions covered. For example, a Bangkok–Pattaya trip may require 5 to 6 days, while combining Phuket and Krabi or adding Chiang Mai might extend the stay to 8 to 10 days. Cox & Kings tailors both short getaways and longer, immersive holidays based on your travel goals and preferences.
Are the tours suitable for senior citizens and young children?
Yes, Cox & Kings tours are thoughtfully paced and highly customisable. Whether you are travelling with toddlers or elderly family members, we can adjust sightseeing durations, meal times, and transport options to ensure everyone is comfortable. Popular stops like marine parks, floating markets, safari shows, temples, and beach days are enjoyable for all age groups.
Are there health or environmental factors to consider when visiting Thailand?
Most destinations have excellent hygiene and health standards, but during certain months, especially February to April, northern regions like Chiang Mai may experience reduced air quality due to seasonal agricultural burning. Cox & Kings monitors such conditions closely and makes appropriate adjustments to itineraries. It’s always advisable to carry basic medicines and stay hydrated during outdoor sightseeing.
Is Thailand a good destination for shopping and unique experiences?
Absolutely. From luxury malls in Bangkok like ICONSIAM and Siam Paragon to bustling night markets and traditional floating bazaars, Thailand is a shopper’s paradise. Experiences like Thai cooking classes, canal tours, cultural shows, island-hopping, wellness retreats, and nature safaris are seamlessly woven into Cox & Kings’ itineraries for a fulfilling trip.
Can Cox & Kings accommodate special interests such as wellness, adventure, or spiritual travel?
Yes. Whether you’re seeking spa experiences in Koh Samui, meditation retreats in Chiang Mai, island diving in Krabi, or shopping-focused city breaks in Bangkok, Cox & Kings crafts highly specialised itineraries to match your theme and travel style.
Which beach destinations are most popular with Cox & Kings travellers in Thailand?
Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui, and Pattaya are the most sought-after coastal regions. Each has its own character—Phuket offers vibrant nightlife and upscale resorts, Krabi is known for dramatic limestone cliffs and quieter beaches, Koh Samui blends wellness resorts with scenic bays, and Pattaya is great for water sports and family-friendly entertainment. Cox & Kings handpicks beach stays based on your travel mood, from lively beachfront resorts to secluded luxury villas.
Can Cox & Kings include adventure activities in Thailand itineraries?
Absolutely. Thailand offers a wide range of soft adventure options that can be included based on your interests. In Krabi, travellers can go kayaking through mangroves, rock climbing at Railay Beach, or snorkelling in coral-rich waters. Phuket offers ATV rides, island-hopping, and ziplining. Chiang Mai is perfect for jungle trekking, bamboo rafting, and ethical elephant sanctuary visits. All activities arranged by Cox & Kings are through certified operators who follow international safety and ethical standards.
Is there a good mix of modern and traditional in Thailand’s cities?
Yes, and that’s part of what makes Thailand so appealing. Bangkok blends heritage temples like Wat Arun with modern rooftop dining and nightlife. Chiang Mai offers centuries-old monasteries alongside digital cafés and artist districts. Even Pattaya, known for its entertainment, has cultural gems like the Sanctuary of Truth. Cox & Kings helps travellers navigate both worlds, crafting a personalised balance of old and new.
