Known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean, this tropical island has a lot to offer. It’s a wonderful luxury destination for families to enjoy, thanks to the diversity of things to do. Of course, there are the pristine beaches – but Sri Lanka is also home to beautiful Buddhist temples, tea plantations, and wildlife safaris.

Don’t easily dismiss Thailand as just a spot on the tired backpacker tour. There are plenty of luxury spots to hide out at away from the full moon parties, and enjoy all there is on offer, including over 1,500 miles of coastline, some of the friendliest locals and amazing food. Be prepared to try some food from street vendors, though, as it can be some of the freshest and tastiest available.

But as travel experts will remind you, overstaying your visa is a serious offence in Thailand, and it is mandatory to take out travel insurance. So make sure you plan ahead.
