Since it was Shreyans’ first trip abroad, the experience had to be extraordinary. His trip with his friend involved sightseeing that even made them learn about the socio-cultural system of different cities as well as the country as a whole. The two were expected to have a lot of fun on their first trip to Thailand, considering the amazing nightlife and enthralling ambiance of the country. Learn from his experience that will definitely tempt you to pack your bags and head to the vibrant country!

Beaches have always attracted me. The azure water and golden sands made me want to spend the whole day amidst this picturesqueness. Apart from the beautiful beaches, I was always a street food lover and will be more than elated to find it while I am traveling. This is why Thailand was the perfect destination for my first international trip, as it had the best of both! More than that, I was mesmerised by the people’s conduct who made us feel at home and through them we got a better idea of the Thai culture. Relishing the beauty of beaches under the bright sun is something I would remember for a lifetime!

While looking for cheap trips to Thailand, we came across many sites  but we were not sure if they will cover everything we wanted but fortunately our trip turned out to be a great experience. Our experience with TravelTriangle was completely amazing, as everything was covered under the budget I decided. The number of days we spent here were quite enough to know the place as a whole I believe. The agents were quite helpful and were there to solve my all kinds of queries and for this I give them 10/10. I’m really grateful to the team for organising the trip of my life!

After landing to the city of Phuket, we planned to roam around the market and get to know the locals. To our surprise, the people were quite welcoming and treated us with warmth.

We’ll probably remember this trip mainly because of our visit to Phi Phi Islands. Sheltered within Phuket island, this group of islands has featured in a lot of movies. We soaked up some sun and made the most of our day by clicking some pictures and absorbing the breathtaking view of the sea!

Here, we saw the giant elephants who have been rescued and are now safely kept amidst a picturesque setting. This is one of the most memorable and unique moments we had on our first trip to Thailand. Our visit to the elephant sanctuary also brought us closer to nature and made us appreciate the simplicity of life. Make sure your Thailand trip cost covers the cost for a visit to this sancturay too. We also made a visit to the well-known Big Buddha temple that features a white-colored, awe-striking statue of Buddha – visiting this site we weren’t surprised that this temple is considered one of the most famous attractions in Thailand.
