Arrive in Bangkok
Bangkok
Welcome to Thailand’s capital, Bangkok. Begin with a visit to the Grand Palace, the most important Royal Palace in the country which also houses the revered Emerald Buddha monument. Spend the rest of the day exploring the electric streets of the city, stopping to visit the Wat Traimit temple in Chinatown and see the largest solid gold Buddha in the world.

Kanchanaburi
Transfer to Kanchanaburi, where you will visit the World War II memorial, including the JEATH War Museum and Cemetery to learn about the Death Railway and Thailand’s part during the war. The next day, grab your swimsuit and hiking boots to explore Erawan National Park’s range of caves, trails, and waterfalls. Visit the most well-known waterfall, Erawan, named for the multi-headed elephant that is said to carry the god Indra in Hindu mythology. Depart for Chiang Mai, but on your way stop in Ayutthaya, the former Thai capital. Explore the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, built during the Ayutthaya era. The palace showcases an eclectic collection of buildings that blend European, Khmer, Thai, and Chinese architectural styles together.

Chiang Mai
Arrive and spend your first day at leisure. We recommend exploring art galleries on the east side of the Ping River, sampling street food, or visiting Wat Sri Suphan Temple, a less crowded temple in the area but absolutely dazzling with its intricate silver panelling. Spend the rest of your time in Chiang Mai exploring nature, visiting an elephant sanctuary and Doi Inthanon National Park. Here, visit the Karen Hill Tribe village and see the Wachiratharn waterfall. In the afternoon, take the Mae Klang Luang Nature Trail to experience the beauty of this national park.

Phuket
Set on the Andaman Coast, Phuket is known for its beaches, nightlife, and beautiful resorts. Its diverse landscapes range from tropical rainforests to palm-fringed beaches and craggy limestone cliffs. Head for the beach to sunbathe, sit back with a cold drink, go for a swim, or try snorkeling. If you’re feeling adventurous, visit Hanuman World Phuket to soar through the jungle on its ziplines. In the evening, eat seafood for dinner, browse a night market, or go for a drink on lively Bangla Road.
