Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive Bangkok
Arrive in Bangkok at any time.

Day 2 Bangkok
Chaotic streets, busy canals, tranquil temples, colourful markets and food that defies description. Bangkok truly is the essence of Asia.

Day 3 Ayutthaya
Change gears with a visit to one of Thailand’s many former capitals, a sleepy riverside town graced with ancient pagodas, palaces and shrines.

Day 4 Sukhothai
Spend the day cycling along shady laneways whilst stopping to stroll through some parts of the temple complexes in the Sukhothai Historical Park. See lotus ponds, stop at the local markets within the park, and enjoy a great day that all the family will remember.

Day 5 Lampang/Chiang Mai
Stroll through this old-style Thai town where you can take a horse drawn cart ride to see some of the sites. Visit the elephant conservation centre and see these gentle giants up close and personal. If we are lucky, we may even get to see a baby elephant!

Day 6 - 8 Chiang Mai and Hilltribe visit
This northern city has long been a traveller's favourite - with fantastic street food, an awesome night bazaar, hundreds of bejeweled temples and beautiful surrounding countryside. The hills of northern Thailand are home to a vast diversity of ethnic minorities - each with their own culture, traditions, language and costume. Follow the well-trodden mountain paths to discover the villages, play football with the locals and visit the traditional style local houses.

Day 9-10 Hua Hin
A two hour drive from Bangkok takes us to Hua Hin, where the whole family can enjoy snorkelling, swimming, sandy beaches and great food. Enjoy a massage on the beach, get yourself a fake tattoo, and ALL the girls just love having their hair braided!

Day 11 Bangkok
Return to the chaotic capital and finish up your shopping at the weekend market.

Day 12 Depart Bangkok
