The best part about travel is that it’s always summer somewhere in the world, so before we say goodbye to shorts and hello to pea coats, let’s plan a getaway (or two!) that will keep us basking in the sunshine just a little longer.
From beaches and glamping to fine dining, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite fall escapes that will stretch your summer and your joy. You know we wouldn’t steer you wrong, so grab your passport, gather your frequent flyer miles and let’s keep this party going!

For The Foodies: Bangkok
There is no debate! Nowhere in the world does food quite like Bangkok. Even the late, great Anthony Bourdain agrees. The bustling city is a foodie paradise and there really isn’t a bad time to visit. Make the Sofitel Bangkok your home away from home as you tour the streets of the city by tuk tuk on the hunt for yummy eats with Bangkok Food Tours, dine Michelin style at Nahm or get your hangover cocktails at Lebua State Tower.
