About this trip
Overview
Temples, markets and mountain air
Discover the two faces of Thailand. In Bangkok you will explore the Grand Palace, cruise the Chao Phraya and dive into Chinatown’s legendary street food. A short flight north brings you to Chiang Mai, where hilltop Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a hands-on cooking class and a day at an ethical elephant sanctuary reveal the slower rhythm of Lanna culture.
Ideal for families and first-time visitors, with a private guide on every sightseeing day.
