Southern Thailand

In January, the busiest month for tourism in Thailand, you can explore a deserted beach near Ao Khanom, waiting to catch a glimpse of the elusive and beautiful pink dolphins.

Think astounding nature, fiery food, warm hospitality and a gentle mix of different cultures. Thailand is much more than Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi Islands, although the three are stunning.

India

Explore the largest democracy in the world with at least one long-distance rail journey as part of your trip. Avoid May to September, unless you are heading to Ladakh in the extreme North.

Nairobi, Kenya

Get a safari experience in Nairobi National Park. It might be the only place in the world where you can see black rhinos, lions, zebras and giraffes against a backdrop of skyscrapers.
