National Geographic Traveller (UK) October 2023 available in newsstands now

LONDON (7 September 2023) — The October issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) is out now. The cover story this month focuses on hands-on experiences in Thailand. With slow-island exploration and cave meditation to the south, and a wealth of community experiences and craft workshops to the north, there’s far more to this endlessly surprising destination than its palm-fringed bays and world-class waters.

This issue also comes with a 100-page Japan guide, with the spotlight on the nation’s history, culture and evolving traditions, covering everything from craft beer trails in Sapporo to spiritual retreats in the UNESCO-listed temple complex at Koyasan.
