Thailand Idyllic Beach & Jungle

Thailand is awash with brochure-ready beaches, so it seems only right that you should enjoy more than just the one on an escape with your loved one. You'll stay on the fringes of two of its best, starting by bedding down in The Surin on Pansea Beach in Phuket and then ending your holiday among the sugar-soft sands of the Pimalai Resort & Spa on Koh Lanta. It's not all just rest and no adventure – inbetween you'll spend two days at Elephant Hills immersing yourself in the dense jungle of Khao Sok National Park and meeting their larger-than-life inhabitants, the elephants.

Best time to travel: Between October and May
