Thailand and Myanmar
Two countries, one unhurried journey
Limestone lagoons in the Andaman Sea, misty farms above Chiang Mai, and the temple plains of Bagan. Pick a route, then book flights, stays, tours and transfers from one page.
Destinations
Five places worth the journey
From Bangkok's skyline to the golden stupa of Yangon.
Doi Ang Khang
Doi Ang Khang
Terraced strawberry fields at around 1,400 metres. Arrive before sunrise, when mist fills the valley and the air is cold enough for a jacket.
Bangkok
Bangkok
Riverside temples by day, rooftop views by night. The MahaNakhon tower's glass skywalk looks across the whole city.
Andaman Sea
Andaman island bays
Sheltered water so clear you can watch fish from the boat. Day trips leave from Phuket and Krabi, and the early departures beat the crowds.
Bagan
Bagan
More than 2,000 brick temples spread across a river plain, most built between the 11th and 13th centuries. Dawn light turns them copper.
Shwedagon Pagoda
Shwedagon Pagoda
A gilded stupa nearly 100 metres tall and the most sacred Buddhist site in Myanmar. Visit at dusk, when the lamps come on and the gold glows.
Swipe to see all five.

Before you go
Good to know
When to travel
November to February is the cool, dry season in both countries and the most comfortable time for temples and hill country.
Money
Thailand uses the baht (THB) and Myanmar the kyat (MMK). Cards work in cities, but carry cash for markets, boats and small towns.
Entry rules
Visa rules and travel advisories change. Check the official immigration site for each country, and your own government's advice, before you book.
