Hong Kong
Asia's vertical metropolis, where East meets cosmopolitan spirit. Hong Kong is far more than just a city — it's an extraordinary stage where centuries-old Chinese tradition blends with the frenetic energy of a global financial hub. Cross the waters of the iconic Victoria Harbour aboard the historic Star Ferry, or take in the breathtaking view from Victoria Peak, framed by skyscrapers and lush green mountains. At the same time, the neighborhoods' most authentic temples and lively night markets invite you to discover local life at its most genuine, just a short distance from Michelin-starred restaurants and glittering luxury malls. A fascinating city, essential for understanding the perfect meeting point between East and West.
Beijing
The imperial heart of China, where thousand-year history meets cutting-edge innovation. Beijing isn't simply the capital — it's a living, open-air museum where great dynasties of the past collide with the challenges of the future. Wandering through the majestic Forbidden City or walking a stretch of the Great Wall means immersing yourself in Asia's deepest history. At the same time, the old hutong alleyways invite you to discover the city's most authentic side, not far from the contemporary art galleries of the 798 Art District and its striking modern skyscrapers. A one-of-a-kind trip, essential for understanding the true, layered soul of China.
Shanghai
The city of the future, where vintage elegance meets design and glamour. Dynamic, cosmopolitan and always looking ahead, Shanghai is the undisputed icon of modern China. The skyline of the Lujiazui financial district and a stroll along the famous Bund offer postcard-perfect views, where European architecture from the last century sits alongside sleek, cutting-edge glass towers. Yet the city also holds onto its deeper, more traditional soul: from the refined details of the former French Concession to the old-world charm of the Old City and its tranquil Yu Garden. Between trendy boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants and buzzing nightlife, Shanghai will enchant you at every turn.
Guangzhou
The capital of flavor and commerce in southern China. Dynamic, modern and deeply rooted in tradition, Guangzhou (Canton) is the economic heart of southern China and the birthplace of the famous Cantonese cuisine. Stroll along the banks of the Pearl River, admire the iconic Canton Tower, and let yourself be swept up by its lively markets and historic neighborhoods, where the past blends seamlessly with innovation. From renowned dim sum restaurants to modern shopping centers, Guangzhou strikes a perfect balance between culture, food and retail, promising an authentic experience at the heart of Guangdong.
Chengdu
Home to giant pandas and the bold flavors of Sichuan. Known for its laid-back lifestyle and the warm hospitality of its people, Chengdu is one of the best-loved cities in western China. World-famous for its panda research and breeding center, this city also offers the perfect pace for exploring the historic teahouses of People's Park and the winding old streets of Kuanzhai Alley. Recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy, Chengdu will win you over with the bold flavors of Sichuan cuisine and its signature spicy hotpot.
Kunming
The City of Eternal Spring and gateway to Yunnan. Blessed with a mild, pleasant climate year-round, Kunming is the ideal starting point for exploring the natural wonders and rich cultural diversity of Yunnan province. The city captivates visitors with the striking Stone Forest, its expansive Dianchi Lake, and its proximity to the legendary Rock Forest of Shilin — a one-of-a-kind natural labyrinth of limestone. Kunming is also home to numerous ethnic minorities, giving it a folk heritage and a rich, colorful artisanal and culinary tradition to discover.
Xiamen
THAI is pleased to announce new daily flights between Bangkok and Xiamen, launching on October 25, 2026, with 4 weekly frequencies.
A vibrant coastal city with a pop culture edge and stunning scenery. A coastal gem that's both dynamic and charming, Xiamen is a destination that surprises with its perfect blend of coastal charm and modern energy. Home to a rich maritime heritage — evidenced by the famous Nanputuo Temple and the enchanting island of Gulangyu, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its period architecture and passion for the piano — Xiamen is also a city buzzing with youthful culture, design and urban trends.
