Discover the Land of Smiles
Thailand is a fascinating country with an incredible diversity in natural and historical sites, exotic cuisine and a huge range of activities to do. It doesn’t matter if you are a budget traveler, an adventurer, an outdoor lover, a luxury traveler or a first-time visitor in Asia, Thailand will welcome you with open arms and heart.
Despite the fact that it’s become one of the most popular destinations in Asia (and in the world!), there are still lots of off the beaten path places with genuine locals and unspoilt nature.
Thailand stole our hearts during our first visit in 2013. Since then we’ve been returning periodically and calling it home for extended amounts of time. We’ve ventured through the north, south, east and west of Thailand and visited lesser known corners of the country as well as popular sites. Our time with kind-hearted locals taught us more about the local culture and country’s history.
We’ve volunteered at an international NGO that protects the natural habitat of elephants. We’ve organized photowalks in the Northern part of the country and gave a speech about responsible travel in Bangkok. One of our travel pieces on Thailand was published in the UK edition of the Psychologies magazine. We were also honoured to be guests on the travel show The Passion, which airs on Thai national TV.
In this travel guide, we’ll share our knowledge on Thailand with hopes to inspire you to travel to Thailand independently, without a travel agent, and to explore the country at your own pace and according to your interests.

What other Thailand travel experts say about this guide
"Nomad is Beautiful's new Thailand Guide is like having a good friend tell you all of her best travel advice and tips from her recent trip to Thailand. The result is that that you have insider advice on off-the-beaten-path places, how to visit popular sites to avoid the crowds, where to eat delicious and cheap local food, and how to negotiate transport and accommodation. Then, how to piece all of this together into a trip and itinerary that fits with your interests, budget and time. This guide is written from extensive first-hand experience traveling in and around Thailand so you know that if something is tried and tested by Ivana and Gianni and it made the cut for this guidebook, then it must be pretty darn good. It's been several years since I traveled in Thailand, so looking forward to using this myself sometime soon!"
"Having lived in Thailand for more than 5 years, finding good and reliable information is often challenging, shy of knowing enough locals to help you through finding some of the hidden secrets or places that are genuinely operating in a sustainable way with a positive impact on communities and the environment. This guide book is not only detailed and robust, it gives a very personalized touch all in one place which would be near impossible to gather this type of information without reading dozens of travel blogs, travel forums and comparing notes - which could take hours, if not days! I was also impressed with how comprehensive this guide is, as it outlines up to date costs and travel times for most activities, and has a unique personalization of asking other travel experts for their input too, compiling all the information for you!! Definitely one of the best guidebooks I’ve seen for Thailand!! Highly recommended!"
"Love this super practical guide to visiting Thailand! I think everything you could possibly need to know before visiting Thailand is included in this step-by-step style guide. I especially love the responsible travel tips throughout the book, the personal advice from those who have visited destinations, and all the pricing details. This book makes planning a trip to Thailand incredibly easy and ensures that you won’t get ripped off, or end up somewhere you really don’t want to be along the way. I wish I would have read it before my first trip to Thailand! It could have saved me a lot of hassle."
"Gianni and Ivana are experienced travelers who know Thailand, having spent considered time in the Land of Smiles. As someone who makes their home in Chiang Mai, they have collaborated and created a comprehensive and really helpful guide to navigate Thailand."
