A Private Tour of Northern Thailand – Bangkok, Phitsanulok, Petchabun, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai
9 Days / 8 Nights – Tour Code (NTH) – Land Only – private tour – Daily departure
Our Northern Thailand program features an enchanting journey to Thailand’s vibrant capital and its majestic countryside. This tour combines the Thailand’s most popular spots with several off-the-beaten-track destinations to give you an opportunity to sample the kingdom’s assortment of endearing culture, scenic beauty and ancient landmarks.
Your introduction to Thailand begins with Bangkok, a vibrant international city with a tasteful blend of East and West, dazzling landmarks and boundless entertainment — from gourmet restaurants and space age nightclubs to colorful night markets and hip bars. Next, we visit Putchabun, a beautiful countryside retreat sometimes referred to as the “Switzerland of Thailand”, hidden among misty mountains and only known to a few. Visitors enjoy the spectacular works of Mother Nature where cascading waterfalls, rolling hills, wild flowers and grassy fields abound.
We then embark on scenic voyage by road to the ancient city of Sukhothai, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where some of Thailand’s greatest historical landmarks and ancient temples lie. Your Thailand expedition concludes in Chiang Mai, a lovely city with a beautiful cultural personality blessed with majestic natural beauty, where our guests enjoy a memorable experience at a local elephant camp, followed by river rafting and a visit to a primitive hilltribe village that has endured the test of time.
